ansible

Just a handy ansible setup I use to quickly put together a VM with tools I use.

Clean install of Xubuntu 24.04 64-bit Desktop or Ubuntu server into a VM.

The community.general gets installed with ansible, not ansible-core.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --assume-yes ansible git

The comma at the end of inventory , is important.

sudo ansible-pull --url https://github.com/rbeede/ansible.git --inventory `hostname`, --tags all,gui pentest-machine-playbook.yml

Alternative method with local copy

ansible-playbook --connection=local --inventory=localhost, --tags all,gui pentest-machine-playbook.yml

Headless instance (ubuntu-server)

sudo ansible-pull --url https://github.com/rbeede/ansible.git --inventory `hostname`, --tags all pentest-machine-playbook.yml
