den_is.tools - Ansible collection

Minimalistic ansbile collection.

This Ansible collection automates the installation of various tools, services and environments.

• It includes tools that typically require manual installation or OS-native package repositories have outdated versions.
• This collection is particularly useful for Linux hosts, which often lack these tools or have outdated versions.

Roles in this collection are extremely minimalistic and at some places ugly. It may lack some features compared to more comprehensive roles/collections.

• Linux hosts are the primary target for this collection, followed by macOS.
• Windows is mostly unsupported.

Contributions are welcome.
