I get it, the inventory is just a list of all servers and PC you are trying to manage and the playbooks contain every step you would take if you would configure everything manually.

I’ll be honest when you first set it up it’s daunting but that’s the thing! You only need to do it once, then you can deploy and redeploy anything you have in minutes.

Edit: found this useful resource

And possible federation as well, very nice. Is this using SolidPods or did they just name their* server similarly?

Sorry I replied to the parent comment, but check out Ansible

Ansible is great for this!
