Been a while since we talked about Ansible. How many people have been trying it out and/or using it?
I've just started playing with it. Plan is to control lots of Raspberry's, Banana Pi's, Beagle's and other SBC's.

Still using it. I have it set up for everything here at work. Mostly been using ad hoc stuff, but I have a couple playbooks set up for things that are difficult to do during a kickstart.

By the way, is there some frontend available?Found something on SF, but that's just a better text editor. I don't mind hacking through textfiles, but I plan to give some of the administrative stuff to a colleague who is still new to the job.
Tower is just too expensive for us poor EDU guys.

A nice GUI would be awesome.

Haven't tried it personally, Semaphore Open source Ansible UI.

That's the one I've tried but it doesn't seem to do much at all

Their site is not super obvious as to what they do. It's just a scheduler?

@scottalanmiller remote execution of commands and scripts + scheduler

I tried Rundeck. It was more confusing than just using Ansible without a GUI. IMO, just having the playbook with yaml and jinja files is easier to read and use. GUIs always have at least one thing you need in a place you wouldn't think.
I guess I wouldn't mind having some reports in a GUI but I'll stick with just text files.
