# Home Server Ansible Configuration
This directory contains Ansible playbooks for managing the Proxmox home server environment.
## Directory Structure
- `inventory/`: Contains the inventory file `hosts.ini` where you define your servers.
- `playbooks/`: Contains the actual Ansible playbooks.
- `ansible.cfg`: Local Ansible configuration.
- `requirements.yml`: List of Ansible collections required.
## Setup
1. **Install Requirements**:
```bash
ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
```
2. **Configure Inventory**:
Edit `inventory/hosts.ini` and update the following:
- `ansible_host`: The IP address of your Proxmox node.
- `ansible_user`: The SSH user (usually root).
- `proxmox_api_*`: Variables if you plan to use API-based modules in the future.
*Note: Ensure you have SSH key access to your Proxmox node for passwordless login, or uncomment `ansible_ssh_pass`.*
## Available Playbooks
### Create Ubuntu Cloud Template (`playbooks/create_ubuntu_template.yml`)
This playbook downloads a generic Ubuntu 22.04 Cloud Image and converts it into a Proxmox VM Template.
**Usage:**
```bash
# Run the playbook
ansible-playbook playbooks/create_ubuntu_template.yml
```
**Variables:**
You can override variables at runtime or by editing the playbook:
- `template_id`: Default `9000`
- `template_name`: Default `ubuntu-2204-cloud`
- `storage_pool`: Default `local-lvm`
Example overriding variables:
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/create_ubuntu_template.yml -e "template_id=9001 template_name=my-custom-template"
```
### Manage VM Playbook (`playbooks/manage_vm.yml`)
This unified playbook allows you to manage VMs (create from template, delete, backup, create template) across your Proxmox hosts.
**Usage:**
The playbook target defaults to the `proxmox` group, but you should usually specify a specific host using `target_host` variable or `-l` limit.
1. **Create a New Template**:
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/manage_vm.yml -e "proxmox_action=create_template vmid=9003 template_name=my-ubuntu-template"
```
2. **Create a VM from Template**:
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/manage_vm.yml -e "proxmox_action=create_vm vmid=9002 new_vmid=105 new_vm_name=my-new-vm"
```
3. **Delete a VM**:
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/manage_vm.yml -e "proxmox_action=delete_vm vmid=105"
```
4. **Backup a VM**:
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/manage_vm.yml -e "proxmox_action=backup_vm vmid=105"
```
**Variables:**
- `proxmox_action`: One of `create_template`, `create_vm`, `delete_vm`, `backup_vm` (Default: `create_vm`)
- `target_host`: The host to run on (Default: `proxmox` group). Example: `-e "target_host=mercury"`
