## Overview
This repository manages infrastructure automation using **Ansible** for:
- Development machines (`dev`)
- Desktop machines (`desktop`)
- Service hosts (`services`, `qa`, `ansible`, `tailscale`)
- Proxmox-managed guests for “app projects” (LXC-first, with a KVM path)
Primary entrypoint is the **Makefile** (`Makefile`) and playbooks under `playbooks/`.
### Goals
- **Predictable, repeatable provisioning** of hosts and Proxmox guests
- **Safe defaults**: avoid destructive automation; prefer guardrails and idempotency
- **Clear separation** between server vs workstation responsibilities
- **Secrets handled via Ansible Vault** (never commit plaintext credentials)
### Non-goals
- Automated decommission/destroy playbooks for infrastructure or guests
- Managing interactive IDE/editor installs (kept out of Ansible by design)
### Target users
- You (and collaborators) operating a small homelab / Proxmox environment
- Contributors extending roles/playbooks in a consistent style
