Ansible is an open-source software that is used for configuring and managing systems. It automates the process of deployment, configuration, and management of systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Ansible on MXLinux.
Before installing Ansible on your MXLinux System, you will need to have the following:
The first thing you should do is update the system using the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This will update the repositories on your system and upgrade any installed packages to their latest versions.
Ansible is available in the default repositories of MXLinux, so you can easily install it using the following command:
sudo apt install ansible -y
This command will install Ansible and all its dependencies on your system.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify it by running the following command:
ansible --version
This command will display the version of Ansible that has been installed on your system.
To configure Ansible, create a configuration file named ansible.cfg in the /etc/ansible/ directory:
sudo nano /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
In the configuration file, you can specify settings such as the remote user, inventory file, and more.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Ansible on MXLinux. You can now start using Ansible to automate your system's configuration and management. If you face any issues during the installation, you can refer to the Ansible documentation or the MXLinux community for help.
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!
