Ansible script for HTPC

This is a simple ansible script that will setup HTPC machine from Fedora Silverblue machine using Kodi from flatpak.

Prerequisites

  • SSH access to target machine
  • Clean Fedora 34 Silverblue installation
  • community.general collection for flatpak ansible roles. Install it using ansible-galaxy collection install community.general

How to run this playbook

ansible-playbook -i <target_ip_address>, -u <administrator_user> -k -K htpc-playbook.yml

-k and -K is needed to enter the user password for ssh and sudo.

If you don't want automatic updates add --skip-tags auto-updates.

How to start SSH daemon on Silverblue

After installation you will end up in GNOME logged as gnome-initial-setup user. Create a administrator user which will be used to provision the machine by ansible.

  1. Run terminal, press Super (key between ALT and CTRL) and type terminal
  2. Start sshd systemctl start sshd
  3. Enable sshd systemctl enable sshd
