Ansible Role: Bootstrap

Author: Jonas Pammer (opensource@jonaspammer.at)

Description: This Ansible role helps set up a Linux system to be managed by Ansible. It installs essential packages like python and sudo using a built-in module and a custom system to detect the operating system.

Updates: The role keeps the package cache updated on most systems. It is recommended to use this role with another role called core_dependencies.

Disclaimer

This role is based on a version created by Robert de Bock, with several updates and improvements made by Jonas Pammer.
