Automate setting up the local Ansible environment #12

Open skyfaller opened 4 years ago

skyfaller commented 4 years ago

Running these playbooks on a new computer is actually really difficult, and requires too many steps to make it practical to manually walk new sysadmins through it every time. We've spent multiple days trying to get these to work for Andrew and haven't succeeded yet. (I have them running on my new Pinebook Pro now, but it also took me multiple days.)

Fortunately, we can use Ansible prompts to ask the user to input important information such as their Linode API key, and use that to automatically set up their computer with the desired Ansible dev environment.
