After getting fed up with TrueNAS (after it borked itself for the third time and I would have had to set it up AGAIN) I decided to learn Ansible and write a playbook to setup my homeserver that way.

I wanted to share this playbook with you in case someone might find it useful for their own setup and maybe someone has some tips on things I could improve.

This server will not be exposed to the public/internet. If I want to access a service on it from outside my home network I have Wireguard setup on my router to connect to my home network from anywhere.

Keep in mind that I’m relatively new to sysadmin stuff etc so don’t be too harsh please 😅

    I’m curious what issues you had with TrueNAS? I’ve been using it for about a year now and the only issue I have had has been with one of my pools deleting itself after a reboot, but that was user error because I put the wrong SED password in the settings.

      The apps service just borked itself and I couldn’t get it to properly start anymore. Also deploying apps always took a ridiculously and annoyingly long time (like about 15 minutes to deploy NPM).
