  • Ansible is just a tool to do the operations. You will need Python also, and a terminal, basic stuff to do the commands. Do not worry. There is a way to run Ansible without installing via docker, but you still need to install docker to run the commands.

    Ansible works on Windows, but you need to install Python, then pip install ansible https://pypi.org/project/ansible .

    Looks like you need more skills to be able to install it, anyway if you want to learn to do it, the way to do it on your windows is via Python, create a virtual environment and install there the Ansible.












  • I think you are mixing the big companies monopoly with Open Source.

    very dificult to self host email

    It is not (example: https://mailcow.email/), the difficult is to keep it safe, updated and pay the hosting, but there are alternatives of email hosting like https://posteo.de, so I would say you just didn’t search for any alternative.

    before we had personal websites

    You can still self-host your own website, if not, you can find a provider or use alternatives like https://gohugo.io/, it’s full of it.

    community forums then reddit came and take over the forums making profit of off it

    You can still use Lemmy and forums… I never used Reddit, so I don’t see what’s so good about it, a part of some posts that has some good info as any other forum or website that I got into. I don’t see how this damages open source or where is the issue with the open source.


    The real problem is the people ignorance, they are still using the big tech apps that have more marketing that other ethical apps. But there is nothing wrong with FOSS here, big tech uses this mass control as government does too to control civilians feelings and thoughts.


  • Big tech also does open source because they are very interested in Open Source, such as Linux, the system that runs the world. Without Linux (which is open source) the world couldn’t run. All routers, servers, IoT, many devices (etc.) run Linux, Open Source.

    Any closed source app that big tech or small tech do also uses Open Source tools and libraries. And you are an ignorant.
