Comment on Ansible Playbook - How do I reverse engineer a running system?

You will need many iterations of trial and error. No way.

You can speed up testing your playbook by using molecule or something similar. Don’t touch your working VMs until you get a service set up correctly in your test environment. If you need to set up multiple services in a single VM, you can automate their deployment sequentially, of course.

P. S. I don’t like Ansible and won’t recommend it because it is full of bugs and non-obvious behavior. However I didn’t investigate alternatives and can’t suggest a better one.
