Hello, I have recently been seeing a boom in people using ansible for automating setting up vps’s, services, …
Is it worth it to learn ansible to do also automate the way I setup everything, or is a bash script good enough ( I know some bash scripting but ansible seems like it could be more worth the time to learn )?
This sounds amazing!
You have any good resources to recommend for learning ansible?
I recently began learning Ansible and this playlist was very helpful with learning.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Sorry, but I fear not. Ansible has a good getting started out there, but I think you’ll learn the most just using it.
Maybe a broad roadmap… Try to add systems. Test them via Ansible-Ping. Change some configs (add file, add line-in-file). Add handlers to react to changes by restarting services. Add host variables and customize behavior per host. Add templates…
Learn Linux TV has a good series as does Jeff Geerling both are free on YouTube.
I prefer the Learn Linux TV one as it goes through how to integrate git and different distros.
Yeah +1 for LLTV
