Introduction

Welcome to the Ansible Projects website. Here you'll find resources and guides on installing, running, and creating playbooks with Ansible.

How to Install Ansible

sudo apt install ansible
            

For other operating systems, please refer to the official Ansible installation guide.

How to Run Ansible

To run Ansible, you need to create an inventory file and a playbook. Here's an example:

# inventory file (hosts)
[webservers]
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2

# playbook file (site.yml)
- name: Ensure Apache is installed
  hosts: webservers
  tasks:
    - name: Install Apache
      apt:
        name: apache2
        state: present
            

Run the playbook with the following command:

ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
            

Example Playbooks

Here are some example Ansible playbooks:

# playbook to update all packages
- name: Update all packages
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: Update packages
      apt:
        upgrade: dist
            

# playbook to create a new user
- name: Create a new user
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: Add user
      user:
        name: john
        state: present
