Learning Ansible can be fucking frustrating. If you know what to do in the shell, finding the Ansible playbook equivalent is difficult at first. Type the command you would normally run below, and then see what would go into the Ansible playbook below. The relevant Ansible docs will also be shown.

Helper to translate shell commands to Ansible playbook entries.

Very few commands are supported. Basically, just what's in these samples.

Options must be specified like --port=8000, not --port 8000
