Ansible Playbook Collection
Production-ready playbooks for server provisioning, Docker, Nginx, PostgreSQL, monitoring, and security hardening.
Drop-in playbooks for Ubuntu 22.04+ servers. Each playbook is self-contained with inline comments, uses fully qualified collection names (FQCN), and follows Ansible best practices for idempotency and security.
What You Get
- 6 production playbooks covering the full server lifecycle from bare metal to hardened production
- 1 reusable role (common) with shared tasks, defaults, and handlers
- Multi-environment inventory with production and staging groups
- Centralized variables in group_vars with sensible defaults
- Comprehensive guide on Ansible best practices (1500+ words)

📄 Code Sample .cfg preview
ansible.cfg# Ansible configuration file
# Place this file at the root of your Ansible project directory.
# Ansible automatically reads ansible.cfg from the current working directory.
[defaults]
# Path to inventory file — adjust if you use a different location
inventory = inventory/hosts.yml
# Default remote user for SSH connections
remote_user = deploy
# Disable host key checking for initial provisioning
# Re-enable in production once keys are established
host_key_checking = False
# Use the YAML callback plugin for cleaner output
stdout_callback = yaml
# Number of parallel forks (simultaneous host connections)
# Increase for large inventories, keep low for resource-constrained control nodes
forks = 10
# Retry files clutter the project directory — disable them
retry_files_enabled = False
# Default timeout for SSH connections (seconds)
timeout = 30
# Gather only required facts to speed up playbook execution
# Override per-playbook with gather_facts: true if needed
gathering = smart

fact_caching_connection = /tmp/ansible_facts
fact_caching_timeout = 3600
# Roles path — Ansible looks here for roles referenced in playbooks
roles_path = roles
[privilege_escalation]
# Default to using sudo for privilege escalation
