Homeserver Ansible Playbook
(github.com)
I also use Ansible to automate setting up a homeserver. I like that it servers as both documentation and backup.
I'm not sure I would learn Ansible just to automate one server, but as I already learn and use Ansible at work, this was pretty efficient for me.
It took only a week to learn and a few days extra to fine tune the playbook so I'd say it was worth it and it's definitely a useful skill to have.
Also, these days the LLMs are fairly good are writing Ansible code, but I wouldn't expect them to be good are more architectural decisions about how to split up your project into roles or various config files-- still a useful tool to speed up the work!
True. They certainly helped speed up my learning process.
