Ansible Playbook - RasPi

This Ansible playbook configures all Raspberry Pi nodes in the home lab infrastructure with essential system components and services, while providing specialized administrative capabilities to the admin-pi node.

The playbook establishes a standardized base configuration across all Raspberry Pi devices and transforms the admin-pi into the central management hub for the entire infrastructure.

What it does

  • Base System Configuration: Sets up essential system components including shell environment, filesystem structure, package management, and development tools across all Raspberry Pi nodes
  • Container Platform: Installs and configures Docker for containerized application deployment on all Pi devices
  • Command Line Enhancement: Configures improved console experience with Bash customizations
  • Administrative Hub Setup: Transforms the admin-pi into a management center with Ansible automation capabilities for infrastructure orchestration
  • Monitoring Infrastructure: Deploys the complete telemetry monitoring stack exclusively on the admin-pi for centralized observability

The playbook targets all Raspberry Pi nodes for base configuration while specifically enhancing the admin-pi with centralized management and monitoring capabilities essential for home lab operations.
