container (Bash-Scripts to Ansible)

Location: Bash-Scripts to Ansible/container/

Playbook that starts all configured Podman Compose stacks for a homelab, both rootless and root.

---

What it does

• Ensures Podman is installed.
• Starts rootless compose stacks from ~/homelab/<stack> (e.g. jellyfin, audiobookshelf, wordpress).
• Starts root compose stacks (e.g. nginx-proxy-manager) from the same base directory.
• Prints which stacks were started.

Files

File	Purpose
podmanUp.yml	Main playbook; runs against localhost with connection: local.

---

Configuration

Edit vars in podmanUp.yml to match your setup:

• base_dir – Base directory for compose projects (default: ~/homelab).
• compose_dirs – List of subdirectories for rootless stacks (e.g. jellyfin, audiobookshelf, wordpress).
• root_dirs – List of subdirectories for root stacks (e.g. nginx-proxy-manager).

Each entry must be a folder under base_dir containing a compose file (e.g. compose.yaml or docker-compose.yml).

---

How to run

From the repo root (or with the correct path to the playbook):

ansible-playbook "Bash-Scripts to Ansible/container/podmanUp.yml" -K

-K is needed because the playbook uses become: true to install Podman and to run root stacks.
