  Post fresh install setup automated

I planned some bash scripts at first, but after even first quick look at an ansible playbook, it was obvious that its the thing I want, and there is unlikely something be more elegant, simpler, or more readable.

  Molecule aids in the development and testing of Ansible content: collections, playbooks and roles

  

I would recommend you to use roles instead of just playbooks and to test them with molecule. Molecule allows you to quickly test your Ansible roles in a fresh Arch Linux podman container, completely isolated from your real system.

Disclaimer and hot take: Even though I overengineered the shit out of automating my entire setup with Ansible, if I would have to do it again, I wouldn't do it with Ansible again. Nix and home-manager are a much better tool for that job.
