Hello, I have recently been seeing a boom in people using ansible for automating setting up vps’s, services, …

Is it worth it to learn ansible to do also automate the way I setup everything, or is a bash script good enough ( I know some bash scripting but ansible seems like it could be more worth the time to learn )?

      Sorry, but I fear not. Ansible has a good getting started out there, but I think you’ll learn the most just using it.

      Maybe a broad roadmap… Try to add systems. Test them via Ansible-Ping. Change some configs (add file, add line-in-file). Add handlers to react to changes by restarting services. Add host variables and customize behavior per host. Add templates…

      Learn Linux TV has a good series as does Jeff Geerling both are free on YouTube.

      I prefer the Learn Linux TV one as it goes through how to integrate git and different distros.
