## Introduction
This is an Ansible configuration that configures a fresh Raspbian installation
on Raspberry Pi. It is intended to be run in local (pull) mode, where ansible
is running on the same Raspberry Pi to be configured.
on Raspberry Pi. It can be run in local (pull) mode, where ansible is running
on the same Raspberry Pi to be configured, or standard remote mode.
This playbook is known to run on Raspbian stretch (9) and Raspberry Pi OS
buster (10). I've not been able to run it on jessie because that ships with
Python 2.4, which is not supported by Ansible. It can run against jessie in
remote mode. See below.

`sudo apt-get install ansible`. Instead, you must

If this fails, you may need to:
$ sudo apt install python3-apt python3-virtualenv
Then activate the environment and install ansible:
$ source ./ansible_env/bin/activate

former is good for a bare Raspberry Pi that was freshly provisioned using NOOBS

The latter is the conventional way in which ansible is typically run and makes
more sense if you want to configure a bunch of Raspberry Pis.

the mode you intend to use, the configuration is slightly different.
### Local Mode

This is similar to local mode:
(ansible_env) $ ansible-playbook --ask-vault-pass --inventory hosts.remote ./remote.yml
(ansible_env) $ ansible-playbook --ask-vault-pass --ask-become-pass --inventory hosts.remote ./remote.yml
The playbook follows the same code path.
