In layman’s terms, it lets you automate tasks in your infrastructure (One, or many Raspberry Pi SBCs at once in our case) by defining a set of steps to execute in YAML files called “playbooks”. It runs on many Unix-like systems, and can configure both Unix-like systems as well as Microsoft Windows.

I’m going to guide you through the process assuming you have no prior experience with this tool and just some basic Linux terminal skills.Īnsible is an open-source software provisioning, configuration management, and application-deployment tool enabling infrastructure as code.
To automate the installation and configuration process I decided to use Ansible, those in DevOps must be familiar with the power of Ansible but even if you’ve never heard of it, don’t worry, you don’t need to know Ansible in order to take advantage of its automation capabilities, I’m not an Ansible expert myself and I’ve been capable of accomplishing this project with just basic knowledge of the tool, so if I can do it, so can you. I have a previous post about installing Shiny and RStudio server natively on Raspbian Stretch but since it was written for this old version of the operating system, it is outdated now and it only works as a general guideline instead of a working installation guide, so I decided to come up with an updated version for the new Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit) but in the process, I realized that going through a bunch of commands that take a very long time to execute is a mood killer, so, What can I do about it? well… Automate the process!.
