jsf9k / ansible-arch-install Goto Github PK

I've been working on a bash script to install arch and I was thinking that maybe I should consider switching to ansible, just to learn how to use it. I watched a couple of tutorials which were way too basic, but reading your site.yml file gave me a great understanding of how I can make my own. *Thank you!

I run mkpasswd --method=sha-512 1 100 times and got 100 different results. Is that expected? Also on scale from 1-100 how save is it to store hashed passwords in public? ( The second question may be a but stupid, but I have to ask.

Can I use this playbook on the same system I want to configure? In general I know that's possible. I'm just not sure if this is going to be the case for an arch installation.

Hi,

I realized, that how many partitions are created and how they are mounted is defiend in the site.yml file.

Therefore this can not be different for different clients. For example, my desktop PC has a separate SSD for /home while my Laptop does not.

I would define a host specific dictionary which describes what partitions need to be created and how what partitions should be mounted (Not all partitions which are mounted need to be created by ansible.)

I already have a fork where I implemented this for my personal use. If you are interessted, I could prepare a pull request with example host variables and some documentation in comments.

Are you interested in this?

Hello, thanks for sharing your playbook with the public!

Would it be possible to set a license for your project? Without a license it isn't clear what a user is allowed to do with your code. In the end it need to be considered proprietary and it is not allowed to re-use your code for other publicly shared projects.

Some Ideas:

• If you don't care what happens with your code at all and want to release it to the public domain, you could set CC0 (as in other projects where you collaborate) or UNLICENSE.
• If you want to get a copyright notice to you in other projects, you could set MIT.
• If you want that all future versions of your code get released as open source too, you could set GPL.

Hi, I love archlinux and ansible. I try install archlinux in VM but I get this error:
