Comment on I made a project that can install/configure/orchestrate 115+ applications on your homelab using Ansible!

I used a similar project called Ansible NAS a while back and it’s been working beautifully. I had a problem and had to reinstall the OS on my NAS at some point and this made it a breeze. That project requires Ubuntu and I prefer Debian so I may try this out next time.

This is definitely inspired by ansible-nas! I’d also used it for awhile, and made my own fork to add/fix things since the project has gone a little dormant. I started making so many changes though that I started fresh and it turned it into a whole project of it’s own. You can see a list of differences here: dylancyclone.github.io/…/introduction/

Or copy-pasted:
- Does not require root to run - Runs containers with minimum privileges (no root unless absolutely necessary) - Allow any application to have it’s name, image name and version overridden (in case of version pinning or running forks) - Does not modify existing system settings/configuration - Separates DNS access from external access (for example, access portainer.example.com on local network without exposing it to the internet) - Notifies the user of breaking changes in an application’s ansible role before updating them - Everything is optional, doesn’t install anything except what’s configured by the user - Cleans up networks and containers more gracefully after disabling applications, and ensure nothing is left dangling - Supports more OSs than just Ubuntu - Includes suite of tests to ensure clean code and functionality - All created containers and networks are removed when stopping applications - Ensures all applications have consistent variable names and settings - Ensures all applications properly implement DNS and external access settings - Ensures no port conflicts between applications - etc

  Awesome improvements! Really nice work. I’ll definitely be switching at some point when I have a reason to mess with it. Thanks for all the extra work you’ve done to improve the fork and gift the project to the commons.
