Bootstrapping

Assuming you have a login (ubuntu, pi, etc.) you can use this to install an ansible user

---
- hosts: all
  become: yes
  become_method: sudo
  tasks:
  - name: Create users
    ansible.builtin.user:
      name: ansible
  - name: Add ansible user to sudoers
    ansible.builtin.copy:
      dest: "/etc/sudoers.d/ansible"
      content: "ansible  ALL=(ALL)  NOPASSWD: ALL"
  - name: Add my key to authorized_key
    ansible.posix.authorized_key:
      user: ansible
      state: present
      key: "{{ lookup('file', '~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }}"

You can run against individual hosts in your inventory file like

$ ansible-playbook bootstrap.yml -k -b -K -i hosts -l 192.168.3.40

Various adhoc

Running commands, use -o to do single-line output

$ ansible -o -i ansible-hosts -m ansible.builtin.command -a "uptime" -u ansible all

Installing packages
