I have a few VMs and PMs around the house that I'd setup over time and I'd now like to rebuild some, not to mention just simplify the whole lot.

How the hell do I get from a working system to an equivalent ansible playbook without many (MANY) iterations of trial & error - and potentially destroying the running system??

Ducking around didn't really show much so I'm either missing a concept / keyword, or, no-one does this.

Pointers?

TIA

Watching him, makes me think I should do videos of stuff I know. But not found the want yet

Yeah, but it's hard work to make it look easy.

I made a video for work once, it was basically a recorded Teams call, but, good god, I was awful 🤭
