Ad-free for Members: Ansible for Complete Beginners: Creating Your First Playbook
Ansible lets you configure a server once, write it down, and never do it by hand again. In this tutorial we’ll build your first playbook from scratch - then run it with ansible-pull, which I think is the better way to use Ansible for most setups.
We’ll create a git repository to hold the playbook, write it step by step, break the settings out into a variables file, then SSH into a Linode server, install Ansible, and let the machine pull its own configuration and apply it. No control node, no inventory file to babysit.
By the end you’ll have a working, version-controlled setup that any new server can configure itself from in one command.
