Custom Ansible Podman playbooks for specific open source packages.

These playbooks are designed to run against AlmaLinux, tested against AlmaLinux 9 x64.

The playbooks are designed to enable automatic updates, both for the operating system and the containers being run.

Generic command to run ansible playbook: ansible-playbook -i hosts baseline.yml

For the n8n playbook, for example, copy these files to a new folder, edit the inventory.yml file to add your host(s) and SSH username, edit the hostnames and any other variables that you find useful or that need customization in the other files, and then run this command in the folder to, for example, configure n8n fronted by a Caddy reverse proxy:

ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml baseline.yml caddy.yml n8n.yml

In the caddy.yml file, in addition to the hostname adjustments, you'll likely want to edit the local_certs line and replace it with email <email_address> to enable LetsEncrypt automatic certificates rather than self-signed, assuming your VM has inbound and outbound web access to authenticate via ACME.
