# Ansible
## Setup
Rename `inventory/inventory.example.yml` to `inventory/inventory.yml` and adjust the host IPs and usernames as needed.
To install and use Ansible on Windows, follow the [WSL Setup Instructions](#wsl-setup-instructions) below.
## Usage
run a playbook:
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/<playbook_name>.yml
```
run a playbook with sudo:
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/<playbook_name>.yml -K
```
## WSL Setup Instructions
To use Ansible on Windows, you need to set up Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
You then have the option to open a local Folder in VSCode and open a WSL terminal that points to the same folder under WSL.
----
To enable proper file permissions for Ansible on WSL, you need to configure the WSL automount settings.
```bash
sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf
```
Add the following lines:
```ini
[automount]
enabled = true
options = "metadata,umask=022,fmask=0111"
```
If you use a Network Drive, you have to mount it manually:
```bash
sudo mkdir /mnt/<drive_letter>
sudo mount -t drvfs <drive_letter>: /mnt/<drive_letter> -o metadata,umask=022,fmask=0111
```
To mount it automatically on WSL start, add the following lines to `/etc/fstab`:
```fstab
<drive_letter>: /mnt/<drive_letter> drvfs metadata,umask=022,fmask=0111 0 0
```
Reload fstab:
```bash
sudo mount -a
```
Remove others write permissions in your project folder:
```bash
sudo chmod -R o-w .
```
----
Install Ansible on WSL:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ansible ssh-askpass
```
Add SSH Keys from Windows to WSL:
```bash
cp -r /mnt/c/Users/<username>/.ssh ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
```
Lastly, restart WSL to apply the changes:
```bash
sudo shutdown -r now
```
