My Ansible Setup

This is an ansible setup I use to manage my own machine(s).

I've tried to make it generic enough that you can clone it and use it too.

The playbooks in the playbooks/ directory are separated out by user -- each user keeps their own scripts there with no particular structure. The roles/ dir has shared roles, some of which do different things for different users based on the presence of vars. See roles/mail/client/tasks/main.yml for an example.

Credentials

I use pass to store the Ansible Vault password, which is used to encrypt/decrypt the various passwords for each host in inventory/host_vars/hostname.

You can generate the primary vault password by running pass generate sys/ansible/vault 32. Then you can add something like ansible_sudo_pass: 'foobar' to inventory/host_vars/127.0.0.1.
