This looks like a great way to learn Ansible too. Instead of learning alongside random examples, you can setup your server and see how it would look like in Ansible.

Awesome stuff!

My thoughts exactly. As someone who has generally learned better and faster through labs or real world work, this is exactly how I intend to teach myself Ansible while also migrating some stuff to containers: throw at my current VMs, identify configs, and then migrate or enroll accordingly.
