I have a few VMs and PMs around the house that I’d setup over time and I’d now like to rebuild some, not to mention just simplify the whole lot.

How the hell do I get from a working system to an equivalent ansible playbook without many (MANY) iterations of trial & error - and potentially destroying the running system??

Ducking around didn’t really show much so I’m either missing a concept / keyword, or, no-one does this.

Pointers?

TIA

    Hmm, that’s not a bad shout actually…

    I can fire up VMs to replicate the real system and maybe (depending on space) keep them as a testbed for future mods.

    Thanks, good idea.
