As such, it should work on any +Linux-based OS. + +To make things more flexible, the user has to provide a Garage +configuration template. This allows to customize Garage configuration in +any way. + +Some more features might be added, such as a way to automatically connect +nodes to each other or to define a layout. + +## moan0s/garage-docker-ansible-deploy + +[Source code](https://github.com/moan0s/garage-docker-ansible-deploy), [Blog post](https://hyteck.de/post/garage/) + +This role is based on the Docker image for Garage, and comes with +"batteries included": it will additionally install Docker and Traefik. In +addition, it is "opinionated" in the sense that it expects a particular +deployment structure (one instance per disk, one gateway per host, +structured DNS names, etc). + +As a result, this role makes it easier to start with Garage on Ansible, +but is less flexible. |
