Learning Ansible, Proxmox, and LXC: A Journey of Trial and Error

A self-taught learner has embarked on a journey to learn Ansible, Proxmox, and LXC (Linux Containers) using their home server. The learning process involves creating a snippet to quickly get an LXC up and running, followed by configuring the software/service running inside the container.

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected. The learner encountered issues with upgrading Ansible, adding disk_volume block to the template, and updating the LXC's CPU resource. Despite setbacks, the learner persisted and found a workaround for adding cores property to limit CPU resources.

The post also touches on the importance of templates in Ansible, which can be used to quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for reuse.
