Ansible-NAS is a set of Ansible playbooks used for deploying a network-attached storage (NAS) solution. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Ansible-NAS on Arch Linux.
Before you get started, make sure you have the following:
Ansible is the tool used to run the Ansible-NAS playbooks. To install Ansible on Arch Linux, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S ansible
Next, you need to clone the Ansible-NAS repository. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/DaveStephens/ansible-nas.git
Before you can run the playbooks, you need to install the dependencies. In the Ansible-NAS directory, run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Next, you need to configure Ansible. In the Ansible-NAS directory, create a file called hosts.ini with the following contents:
[nas]
localhost ansible_connection=local
This tells Ansible to run the playbooks on the local machine.
To deploy the NAS solution, run the following command in the Ansible-NAS directory:
ansible-playbook main.yml -i hosts.ini
This will start the playbook and begin deploying the NAS solution.
Ansible-NAS is a useful tool for setting up a network-attached storage solution. By following these steps, you can easily install and configure Ansible-NAS on Arch Linux.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
