# Homelab automation with Ansible
## Requirements
- Ansible 10.5.0
Install Ansible collections using:
```sh
ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
```
## Troubleshooting
### A worker was found in a dead state
When running into an error like the following when running Ansible playbooks from macOS:
> +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug. ERROR! A worker was found in a dead state
Make sure to set the following environment variable in your shell:
```sh
export OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES
```
See the [Ansible FAQ](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/faq.html#running-on-macos-as-a-target).
### GNU tar required
In case a playbook tries to unarchive a tarball on the Ansible controller when running macOS, it may complain about GNU tar missing:
> Command "/usr/bin/tar" detected as tar type bsd. GNU tar required.
```sh
brew install gnu-tar
```
```sh
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/gnu-tar/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
```
