Ansible provisioning for setting up Raspberry Pi with raspbian

Preparation

• download raspbian image (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) and install it an SD card
• install ansible (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_installation.html). check version with ansible --version. I'm currently using ansible 2.2.0.0
• create a strong hashed password for your pi user (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/faq.html#how-do-i-generate-crypted-passwords-for-the-user-module) create a file ~/.ansible/vars.yml and put your hashed password in like

# password
pi_passwd_hased: # put here your hashed password

• add an alias for your pi to your ssh config file ~/.ssh/config. Mine contains something like this:

Host rp3b
   HostName <put-here-your-pi-ip-address>
   User <put-here-your-pi-user-name>

Run the playbook

The first time you need to add the arguments to ask for connection and sudo password

ansible-playbook playbook.yml --ask-pass --ask-become-pass

After one successful run of the common role, ssh key authentication is used. Then you can simply run:

ansible-playbook playbook.yml
