This is a quick post to capture something seen.  `Ansibel <http://www.ansible.com>`_ is a configuration management tool that I have been learning recently.  More details in a future post.  This is just to capture this idea:

   From: Smith, Chris (Big Data) 
   
   To: ansible 
   
   
   Ansible Galaxy is a centralised Github repository of public Ansible content, see: https://galaxy.ansible.com/ It uses a local routine that is installed when you install Ansible, called ‘ansible-galaxy’, to create a blank template for your Ansible content. What is not well known is you can run ‘ansible-galaxy’ in offline mode to create a blank template using the command:
   
   
   # ansible-galaxy init --offline my-role
   
   
   Enjoy,
   
   Chris

More on this as I get some more back-ends stuff taken care of, like setting up a git repo and maybe auto-deploy from git push?
