Ansible script for Arch Linux (Raspberry Pi)

This playbook will install the following packages:

• vim, mosh, packer
• xbmc
• mopidy, mopidy-spotify

The available variables are defined in roles/<role>/defaults/main.yml. Feel free to override the defaults.

Bootstrap

After preparing your sdcard and booting into Arch Linux, you need to run theinit.yml playbook. This will install python2 (for Ansible) and setup some basic settings.

I should set the following variables: hostname, sudo_user, ssh_users. The sudo_user must be an ssh_user. After setting the IP address of your Raspberry Pi in hosts, you are ready to initialize your system:

    ansible-playbook -k init.yml -i hosts

Main Configuration

Since the required packages for ansible are now in place, you can run the main playbook. You must pass the previously defined ssh/sudo user as an argument:

    ansible-playbook -k playbook.yml -i hosts -u <sudo_user>

After running this playbook you may need to restart your Raspberry Pi (eg. hostname changes). Ansible will report a failure - ignore this:

    ansible raspberry-pi -i hosts -a "sudo reboot" -u <sudo_user>

Notes

• The complete installation takes up to 45 minutes depending on your sdcard.
• To speed up things you should point xbmc_home and mopidy_home to an external harddisk or usb stick.
