Sure! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Ansible-NAS on FreeBSD Latest:

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you need to have the following on your FreeBSD system:

• Access to the internet
• Python 3 installed
• Ansible 2.9 or above installed

Step 1: Clone the Ansible-NAS repository

Open a terminal window and clone the Ansible-NAS repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/DaveStephens/ansible-nas.git

This will create a new directory called ansible-nas in your current working directory.

Step 2: Install required packages

Ansible-NAS relies on several third-party packages, which you can install using the following command:

sudo pkg install -y py38-psutil py38-smbprotocol py38-netifaces py38-requests py38-netaddr

Step 3: Edit the inventory file

The inventory file in the ansible-nas directory contains information about your hosts and groups, and it needs to be edited to match your system. Open the file in a text editor:

nano ansible-nas/inventory

Find the nas group in the file and change the IP address to match the address of your FreeBSD system.

Step 4: Run the playbook

Once you have made the necessary changes to the inventory file, you can run the Ansible playbook:

ansible-playbook ansible-nas/nas.yml

This will run the nas.yml playbook and install Ansible-NAS on your FreeBSD system.

Conclusion

And that's it! You should now have Ansible-NAS installed and ready to use on your FreeBSD Latest system. If you encounter any errors or issues during the installation process, make sure to double-check that you have met all the prerequisites and followed the steps correctly.

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!
