# Ansible Playbook for LXC/Incus Installation (Debian/Ubuntu)

This playbook automates the installation and setup of the **stable** version of Incus on the **local machine** (Debian/Ubuntu). It is designed to be run directly on the server you wish to configure.

## Prerequisites

1.  **Ansible & Git:** Must be installed on the machine where you are running the playbook.
    ```bash
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install ansible git -y
    ```
2.  **Sudo Access:** Your user must have `sudo` privileges to run the playbook.

## How to Run
1. **Setup:** Clone the repository and go to the project directory
    ```bash
    git clone https://git.marmattheo.com/marmattheo/LXC-Incus-stable-playbook.git incus-stable-playbook && cd incus-stable-playbook
    ```

2.  **Execute the Playbook:**
    Run the following command from the same directory as the playbook file. It will prompt you for your `sudo` password to perform the administrative tasks.

    ```bash
    ansible-playbook playbook.yml --ask-become-pass
    ```
    *   `--ask-become-pass`: This flag tells Ansible to prompt for the password needed for privilege escalation (`sudo`).

## Post-Installation Steps

After the playbook completes successfully:

1.  **Configure User Access:**

    Refresh group membership.

     ```bash
    newgrp incus-admin
    ```

2.  **Verify Setup:** 

    You can test the installation by running.
    
    ```bash
    incus --version
    ```

3.  **Access the Incus Web UI:** 

    Access the Web UI at:

    ```bash
    https://localhost:8443
    ```
    > https://vps-ip:8443 if you're running on remote server
