Setup

• Hardware

Ansible

• group_vars/all.yml and follow the instructions there for configuring your Ansible NAS.
• Copy inventory.dist to inventory and update it.
• Install the dependent roles: ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml (you might need sudo to install Ansible roles)
• Run the playbook - something like
  • env ANSIBLE_NOCOWS=1 ansible-playbook -i inventory nas.yml -b -K should do you nicely.

• auto shutdown
• spectre mitigation disabled
