This Ansible playbook is neither flexible nor universal, it is a rigid and opinionated config that I myself use to provision my Mac

---

On the managed nodes (if there are any)

• Sign in to iCloud & App Store
• Open "System Settings" — "Sharing"
  • enable "Remote Login" (or run sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin on)
  • notice "Local hostname" at the bottom, you can use it if the control node is on the same network

Warning

Don't forget to disable "Remote Login" on the managed nodes when you're done (unless you want it)

On the control node

• Sign in to iCloud & App Store
• Install Apple's Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)
• Install Ansible, duh
• ssh-copy-id to the managed nodes (or use password authentication)
• Populate the inventory file
• Run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
• Run ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass main.yml
