Hi all, this is Praneet. New to Ansible, trying to make some fun home projects and came across ansible. Fairly new coder, willing to learn from the community and collaborate in any way if possible! Happy building all! PS: found this [wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansible), not sure if it has anything to do with this Ansible. ---

I sometimes wish Ansible would be as fast as its name origin suggests 😉 (The connection is also mentioned in the Wikipedia article on Ansible (software) btw: [Ansible (software) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansible_(software)#History). Also I do read a lot of SciFi, and I always have to smile when I read about ansibles in there 🙂 ) ---

Hi everyone, I’ve only been using Ansible for a few months. I’m working on a [project](https://github.com/LucasJanin/ansible) to deploy and update the infrastructure of my homelab. This will include multiple steps such as setting up aliases, configuring SSH, managing DNS records, assigning static IPs, generating SSH keys, and setting up an APT cache. There’s still much to learn, and I’m happy to join the community. ---

Hello everyone. I’m Tony from France. I am system and network administrator after a long period as python web app developper. I introduce ansible for setting up web apps and then for managing VM and then … Now I will used it to manage servers. I had to use saltstack for some times before I can choose to use ansible. I’m an old school one 👴 , curious by nature but also cautious with newly sensational announcements (yep I don’t like AI as coding assistant). Today I’m trying to figure out how to convert some roles to collections and serve them. I have a lot to read in this forum. ---

Greetings all! I’m Eddie, and I’ve been an Ansible user for several years. My day-to-day work tasks generally involve all aspects of managing Linux servers – which I try to automate as much as I can with Ansible. I joined here to answer and ask questions to try to be of some help to my fellow Ansible folk. ---

Hi I am Andrew, I am looking to use Ansible as a Vagrant Provisioner and to auto setup environments. I am also evaluating it against Docker. I used puppet in the past, which I like, but it seems nobody else is using it. [Next page](https://forum.ansible.com/t/introduce-yourself-2025-edition/39892.md?page=2)
