Set up my developer env with Ansible

Usage

First time set up

Install Ansible (latest) from the official PPA:

$ sudo apt install software-properties-common
$ sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:ansible/ansible
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install ansible

Make sure the root user has a password, required for become:

$ sudo su root
$ passwd

Copy example.hosts.yml to hosts.yml and customize it.

Install dependencies and run the playbook

$ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml  --ignore-errors
$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml --ask-become-pass

System restart could be required, at least after the first run.

Tested on

• Linuxmint Cinnamon 20.2/Ubuntu 20.4
• Ansible 2.11.6
