Ansible Playbook: Base

Configure the system baseline by combining the common role (core OS components and system defaults) with the zabbix_agent role (Zabbix Agent 2 monitoring). The repository contains no role of its own, only a playbook.

Requirements

Supported operating systems follow the child roles: Debian 13 and Alpine 3.23 (see the common role for the full list it handles).

Dependencies

Both roles are installed from roles/requirements.yml (branch main):

Role	Description	Repository
common	Core OS components and system defaults	common
zabbix_agent	Zabbix Agent 2 monitoring	zabbix-agent

Variables

This playbook defines no variables of its own. Configure the child roles through the inventory, see the readme of each role for the available variables.

Example

# group_vars/all.yaml
timezone: "Europe/Amsterdam"
ntp_server: "time.cloudflare.com"

Usage

Run the playbook through Semaphore using playbook.yaml. The playbook first runs ansible-galaxy install -f -r roles/requirements.yml to refresh the roles, then runs common followed by zabbix_agent on all hosts with privilege escalation. Role tags (for example apt or sshd from common) can be used to limit a run.
