# Ansible Setup for Fedora Workstations

Comprehensive Ansible configuration for managing Fedora Workstation laptops. This repository provides automated configuration management for system setup, package management, security hardening, and laptop-specific optimizations.

## Running the Playbook

### Basic Usage

Run the main playbook against localhost:

```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts playbook.yml --ask-become-pass
```

The `--ask-become-pass` flag will prompt you for your sudo password, which is needed for most system configuration tasks.

### Useful Variations

**Dry run first** (see what would change without making changes):
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts playbook.yml --check --diff
```

**Check syntax** before running:
```bash
ansible-playbook playbook.yml --syntax-check
```

**Run only specific tags**:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts playbook.yml --tags "packages" --ask-become-pass
```

**List all tasks** that would be executed:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts playbook.yml --list-tasks
```

**Run against specific host**:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts playbook.yml --limit hostname --ask-become-pass
```

### Recommendation

It's recommended to start with `--check --diff` to preview changes before actually applying them to your system.
