More Ansible
March 29, 2021  |  Linux

I continued moving my infrastructure to Ansible and the more I use it, the more I like it. It makes it easy to manage my servers, and it also forces me to look at Linux from a slightly different angle. This month, I moved my static websites to a separate host fully managed by Ansible and it was pretty straightforward. I also wanted to use Nextcloud without Docker, and it seemed a bit overwhelming at first, but the whole process turned up to be quite simple. Ansible has a concept of roles, which are useful for repetitive tasks. For instance, I created a special Ansible role for setting up dynamic fan control on my Raspberry Pi based servers.
