# ansible-02
## Playbooks & Package Management
## Overview
This project demonstrates how to use Ansible playbooks to install and manage packages. We will install and configure Nginx on our Linux Mint machines.
## Prerequisites
- Ansible installed on WSL (Control Node)
- SSH key-based authentication set up between the control node and managed nodes
- Sudo privileges on the managed nodes
## Inventory Configuration
Ensure your `inventory.ini` file is set up correctly:
```ini
[linux_mint]
mint-desktop ansible_host= ansible_user=
mint-vm ansible_host= ansible_user=
```
## Writing the Ansible Playbook
Create a file named `install_nginx.yml` with the following content:
```yaml
- name: Install and Start Nginx
hosts: linux_mint
become: true
tasks:
- name: Install Nginx
apt:
name: nginx
state: present
- name: Ensure Nginx is started
service:
name: nginx
state: started
enabled: true
```
### Explanation
1. The playbook targets the `linux_mint` group.
2. `become: true` ensures the tasks run with sudo privileges.
3. The first task installs Nginx.
4. The second task ensures Nginx is running and enabled on boot.
## Running the Playbook
Execute the following command:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini install_nginx.yml --ask-become-pass
```
## Verification
1.Check if Nginx is running:
```bash
ansible linux_mint -i inventory.ini -m shell -a "systemctl status nginx"
```
2.Open a browser and visit `http://` to confirm the Nginx page is displayed.
