Where do you start and where do you stop. TBH apt update
in front of an apt install
should be common knowledge, otherwise I would suggest stopping using Ansible and learn some basics of your Linux OS of choice first.
Adding wheel
as dependency might make sense.
I expect from a documentation to give me the commands I need to get it running.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
Docker docs even document that you have to remove previous docker installations before installing a new one, and they do have an apt update
documented.
Then we have different opinions.
Neither works well, afaik. My opinion:
(Opinion only, the decision belongs to the documentation team, of course)
Its a dev documentation in the same way as owncloud.dev is, so we are responsible on our own.
wheel
package added. The pip instruction will stay as it is to be OS independent.
Thanks for improving the docs.
Is there a difference between installing Ansible via pip or with the repository on Ubuntu?
I installed it via Pip, because at the time there was no other way, and I noticed in the other Ansible tutorials there is a directory created at /etc/ansible with roles, config and hosts, and I am missing that.
I dont know what they ship with OS packages, never used it.
Always good to start with an updates system when installing something new, so I would add
apt update
optionallyapt upgrade
to the top of the commands list on https://owncloud-ansible.github.io/getting_started/setup/#generalI ran in to the same issue that @jnweiger ran in to, the wheel issue. Had to search Chat to find out the solution. Imho needs to be documented that you need:
pip3 install wheel ansible
instead of justpip3 install ansible
