I’ve always felt like this is an area with a huge gap. I’ve got my own fragile, cobbled-together bullshit that works for me, but it’s far from ideal or reliable if I’m being honest. I do love Ansible’s general idea of relying on standard, always-ish available protocols like ssh as a universal connection method, and I think it could work well as the bulletproof lower layer when you want to use direct control over the CLI tools and configuration files, like what git provides for anything requiring version control, but ansible needs a slick management interface like github/forgejo provides on top of git, to fill in the higher level UI for when you need a wider scope to get an overview of what’s going on or to make general configuration changes without needing to get your hands dirty. Ideally it would look a lot like Proxmox itself does, just, not specific to Proxmox. Like if I want to add my Steam Deck, and I’ve got ssh enabled on it and it’s not asleep, it should be able to ansible its way in there somehow to at least get whatever basic details it can. Maybe that’s only That’s what I would consider the ideal, for me at least.
