You can use this repository to configure a Fedora Silverblue workstation or laptop with Ansible. It will make it easier to apply the same settings to multiple hosts, saving you from having to manually configure your computer over and over again.

The main parts of this project can be seen in the 'roles' directory. Each role included there contains a README file that explains what the role is and how to use it. For starters, here is a brief summary of each role:

• layered_packages: Install or remove packages into / from the base rpm-ostree image.
• flatpaks: Install desired flatpak applications.
• fonts: Install custom fonts (this role is under the GPLv3 License).
• gnome_settings: Set various GNOME desktop settings. The role makes these changes via dconf.
• os_updates: Configure the auto-update policy for the host.

I've consolidated the project's variables into the group_vars/all file. This makes it easy to update the project's variables from a single location. You should customize the values in that file to set what changes get applied in the various roles.

Clone this repository with:

• git clone https://github.com/j1mc/ansible-silverblue.git

Install needed dependencies with:

• cd ansible-silverblue
• python3 -m venv venv
• source venv/bin/activate
• pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml

... then make edits to the group_vars/all file to customize this project to make it do what you want it to do.

This command will run all of the included playbooks:

ansible-playbook -i hosts -l this_host -K -v playbook_base.yml

If you want to run any of the roles individually, please review that role's README file for the needed command.
