title: Publishing our Ansible roles

We're delighted to finally announce that we're publishing our Ansible roles
into the open under [`git.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/...`](https://git.autonomic.zone/explore/repos?q=ansible&topic=1) :partying_face:
They've always been licensed as libre software but due to the way we managed
our internal infrastructure configurations, they were embedded in a private
repository.
The roles are currently lacking documentation and written for very specific
Autonomic needs but they might be handy as a learning resource or a base to
fork from. We'd happily accept contributions to generalise them.
In particular, we've been running
[`autonomic.new-hetzner`](https://git.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/autonomic.new-hetzner)
for years without issue. The role bootstraps a Hetzner VPS from scratch and
provisions it with a hardened SSH configuration, firewalls, user accounts and
some basic packages and a shiny MOTD.
All roles are CI tested on every commit with [Molecule](https://molecule.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) so things don't break.
[Expanding re-use with shared infrastructure](https://community.coops.tech/t/cotech-gathering-ansible-and-shared-infrastructure-session/1107)
is someting we've always been working on at Autonomic. We have an ongoing
critique of Ansible and the pros/cons of when it is a good choice to use. This
ultimately lead us to start projects like [Co-op
Cloud](https://coopcloud.tech/). However, we will think Ansible is pretty good
at satisfying more complicated server provisioning needs.
Happy Infra Hacking.
