Roles Collection

1. Intro

A configuration tool like Ansible makes it easy to manage thousands of systems, whether it be in personal or in professional life. Motivated to manage my own systems in an automated manner, I ended up developing some Ansible roles for ease of use that can easily be utilized on any amount of systems. This project contains a curated list of open source Ansible roles that I have been developing and are publicly available on GitHub.

3. Supported Distributions:

In the long term, plan is to support as many distributions as possible. For now, roles are mostly supported and/or have commonly been tested against the following distributions:

For precise lookup of supported distributions in terms of a specific role, please navigate to appropriate highlighted role in the Ansible Galaxy column of Roles List table, as that will redirect to the role’s Ansible Galaxy page.
