Better Structure the Repo and Some Other Enhancements #15
2024-12-08
exclude symlinked ("roles" and "resources") dirs from vscode search
Also remove the ".vscode" directory from the ".gitignore" as the repo includes stuff in it.
reorganize (config) files and templates into one "resources" dir
This groups the files and templates for each host together and therefore makes it easier to see all the (config) files for a host. Also clean up incorrect, unused docker_compose config for mumble and clean up unused engelsystem configs.
ensure all template files have a .j2 file extension
As they should and as this is preparation for a future change reorganizing the file structure.
move roles, files and templates dirs out of playbook dir into root dir
Because of how Ansible local relative search paths work, the global "files" and "templates" directories need to be next to the playbooks. However its not intuitive to look into the "playbooks" directory to find the files and templates for a host. Therefore move them out of the "playbooks" directory into the root directory and add symlinks so everything still works. Similarly for local roles, they also need to be next to the playbooks. So for a nicer structure, move the "roles" directory out into the root directory as well and add a symlink so everything still works.
