There's no place like home!
Just as Dorothy managed the simple task of clicking her heels together, the desire for an equally simple one-button push deployment was in my heart. Thus, this repository was made.
Ansible, along with double encrypted secrets, deploys the necessary configurations to make the home fit for certain needs and desires. Namely, having access to my home from anywhere, securely, and a self-hosted CI server that easily ties into existing workflows.
The makefile is primarily used as a wrapper script to ensure that necessary
files, such as the secret vault password file, are provisioned as part of this.
One such addition to the task is utilizing dependency pinning through the
utilization of Python's virtualenv to lock down the specific dependency
versions within the requirements.txt file. This, ideally, prevents any
deployment issues with dependency version woes (e.g. version conflicts, major
updates in newest versions, etc.)
