Ansible Collection - karras.linux_client

Ansible collection to manage Linux-based development clients.

Compatibility

Currently only supports Arch Linux.

Roles

The following roles are part of this collection:

Role	Purpose	Dependencies
cis_baseline	CIS baseline configuration	n/a
desktop_baseline	Desktop baseline configuration	n/a
firewalld	Firewalld setup	n/a
greetd	Login manager greetd setup	n/a
hardware	Hardware related settings	n/a
networkmanager	NetworkManager setup	n/a
os_baseline	OS baseline configuration	n/a
users	User and group management	n/a
wayfire	Wayfire compositor setup	n/a

Whenever possible only Ansible builtin modules are leveraged, which can lead to some more complex tasks structures though.

Usage

Follow the below steps to start using the collection:

• Install the latest collection version:

ansible-galaxy collection install karras.linux_client

• Create a new playbook (e.g. client.yml) which includes the desired roles:

---

- name: deploy and manage linux clients
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  roles:
    - karras.linux_client.os_baseline
    - karras.linux_client.hardware
    - karras.linux_client.users
    - karras.linux_client.greetd
    - karras.linux_client.wayfire
    - karras.linux_client.desktop_baseline
    - karras.linux_client.networkmanager
    - karras.linux_client.firewalld
    - karras.linux_client.cis_baseline

• Define an inventory, in this case Ansible is executed against localhost:

[dev]
testclient ansible_connection=local

• Finally run the playbook:

ansible-playbook client.yml -i inventory -K
