converter (Bash-Scripts to Ansible)

Location: Bash-Scripts to Ansible/converter/

Playbooks for ASCII art generation and image-to-sixel conversion (for use with fastfetch). Both run on localhost only.

---

Playbooks

1. ascii-generator.yml

Generates ASCII art text files using figlet and an ANSI Shadow–style font.

• Installs figlet if missing.
• Ensures the figlet font directory exists and downloads the ANSI Shadow font if not present.
• Creates an output directory (default: ~/ascii-art).
• Generates one .txt file per line of text in textInput (e.g. "Spoljarevic", "Who2Industries", "Stay private. Stay root.").

Customisation: Edit the vars section (e.g. textInput, ascii_output_dir, figlet_font_file, figlet_font_url).

Run:

ansible-playbook "Bash-Scripts to Ansible/converter/ascii-generator.yml" -K

2. sixel-converter.yml

Converts an image to sixel format for fastfetch and places it in ~/.config/fastfetch/assets/.

• Installs chafa via pacman (Arch).
• Prompts for: file name (without extension), file type, and width (size).
• Converts the image to sixel and writes <name>.sixel in the assets folder.
• Prints a ready-to-use fastfetch command with --raw, --logo-width, --logo-height, and --logo-padding-top.

Run:

ansible-playbook "Bash-Scripts to Ansible/converter/sixel-converter.yml"

You will be prompted for the file name, type, and size. Use -K if the playbook needs to install packages.
