Ansible Quick Start guide
- arkaeologic 12y agoI thought this was actually an ansible from Ender's Game. Instant click.
- joshfinnie 12y agoThis is a really nice overview of how to get started with ansible. If you haven't tried it out, this should do nicely as a resource. Just remember this is a quick start guide and the power of ansible is just touched on here.
- wldcordeiro 12y agoI liked it as well. I've already been using Ansible for a while but found it be a good guide for a beginner, though I would suggest installing via pip over apt/brew/whatever.
- zymhan 12y agoWhy do you suggest installing it via pip?
- jimmcslim 12y agoProbably because he suspects that it will be more up to date than the PPA; however Michael DeHaan comments that Ansible themselves maintain the PPA so it will be as up to date as the PyPI version. The other reason might be to support multiple versions of Ansible and its dependencies simultaneously, via virtualenvs.
- wldcordeiro 12y agoThat was what I suspected, but your second point is a very good one.
- mpdehaan2 12y agoAnsible creator here. We maintain the ansible PPA, so it's always as up to date as the pip one. If you've got any feedback on the PPA packaging, we'd definitely like to hear it!
- wldcordeiro 12y agoAh nice. I always worry with PPA's just because there's a tendency to be behind the release. Good to know!
- rrmoelker 12y agoGreat for understand the value of using Ansible. But something slightly unrelated, I noticed the -vvvv command line option. Is this the new way to indicate verbose levels? Using -v3 and such is out of fashion?
