I see why people hate on Ansible a bit. It has it's nuances, the community modules are helpful but lack any real documentation when shit goes wrong. You can do the same thing 48 different ways.. Still great and easy, but I can understand why NixOS exists hahah

@train@hachyderm.io Working with ansible at work, so far it's been great, albeit it'd be nice if the documentation was clearer. There's an underlying assumption in the docs that one is familiar with the inner workings of the software, which causes a lot of confusion.

@phil Yea! The barrier to entry is really really low which is great, but when you run into a problem it can be an adventure trying to figure out what the problem is.

@train

Both have too much layers.
I want a target configured, not have a configuration configured that configures rhe target.

@train
Maxing layers is only good for lasagna, not for software.

@lasagne so do you use anything?

@train
I use multiple things.
At least forks, spoons, ansible, the toilet, analogies and imagebuilders.
