In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Ansible-NAS, which is an Ansible playbook for setting up a Home NAS server. We will be using Alpine Linux for this installation.
The first step is to install Ansible. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apk add ansible
Next, we need to clone the Ansible-NAS repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/DaveStephens/ansible-nas.git
After cloning the repository, navigate into the ansible-nas directory:
cd ansible-nas
In this directory, there is a file called "inventory.ini". Open it using your preferred editor and modify the configuration settings to suit your needs.
Once you have configured Ansible-NAS, we can now run the playbook. Run the following command to run the playbook:
ansible-playbook main.yml -i inventory.ini
This will run the main playbook and set up the Home NAS server based on the configuration settings that you specified earlier.
That's it! You have successfully installed Ansible-NAS on Alpine Linux and set up your own Home NAS server. Enjoy your new server!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
