agkozak-zsh-prompt

Here is the script, which is executed on schedule via systemd timer. See the whole Ansible role for context.

I'm using plain bash, prompt configuration is here.

Basic systemd stuff works fine in Docker with some extra privileges (example), for more complex scenarios (involving firewall, inserting kernel modules, etc) there is molecule-vagrant. I use it with Libvirt/KVM and find the experience rather enjoyable

Raspberry is not required if you don't need automatic wakeup, any pingable device that's not protected by UPS will do. Here is my script, systemd service and timer can be viewed in the same directory.

Here is an example: a do-it-all playbook just includes individual playbooks, any of which can contain multiple plays.

I use GitLab CI both for testing and for deployment: here is the repo

I do not use Ansible for dotfiles management, only for OS configuration. For dotfiles I've settled on simple custom bash script that can only symlink or copy files - it works well both on Linux and Windows. Using include dirs is a poor replacement for templating but it's enough for me so far.

Here is how I do this: https://gitlab.com/sio/server_common/-/blob/master/ansible/roles/virtual_machine/defaults/main.yml#L18
