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

    oh the find with the hash sum is good advice! I would have done this but manually, maybe with the double commander sync dirs tool.

    but also, for configs this might be the best time to move your custom config to ordered dropin files for all things that support it.
