PXE-Server per Ansible
Der ältere Blog-Eintrag “PXE-Server auf die Schnelle” hat ein Skelett gezeigt, wie ein PXE-Server einfach per Script bereitgestellt werden kann. Eleganter geht es mit Ansible. Der Zusammenbau des Menü ist etwas unschön gelöst, aber es...

Ansible variables
This afternoon I was looking for an Ansible variable but I was not able to remember the correct name. The ‘setup‘ module helped me. This module prints all available Ansible variables of a particular system. [crayon-6632c65f4982f808065677/...
