Experimenting with Ansible to start managing the configuration of my laptop. I primarily use it for browsing and coding, the occasional light gaming on steam.

To use it for yourself, place necessary vars in vars/main.yml and vars/secret.yml:

vars/secret.yml²

---
secret:
  user:
    name: "username"
    comment: "user comment"
    password: "changeme"

vars/main.yml

---
user:
  name: "{{ secret.user.name }}"
  comment: "{{ secret.user.comment }}"
  password: "{{ secret.user.password }}"
  paths:
    home: "/home/{{ secret.user.name }}"
    data: "/home/{{ secret.user.name }}/.data"

1. better project name to likely come later
2. Refer to Ansible's documentation for ways to store a crypted password in this file
