Machine Setup with Ansible

This Ansible project automates the setup of a new development machine. It's designed to be distro-agnostic, working on Debian/Ubuntu, Arch Linux, and potentially other distributions.

Project Structure

Usage

To run the playbook:

ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini playbook.yml

Requirements

Customization

You can customize the playbook by:

1. Editing the playbook.yml file to include or exclude roles
2. Modifying the tasks in each role to suit your needs
3. Adding new roles for additional functionality

The playbook uses Ansible facts to detect the distribution and apply the appropriate tasks.
