-  <p>
-    Every time that I do a clean install on my machine it takes a few hours till I
-    get to point where I was before formatting it, install all packages, select
-    themes, icons, fonts, install IDEs, extensions and so on. After doing it a few
-    times I came to the conclusion that I would save time by spending time
-    automating this chore, and as a result, I could tinker a little more with my
-    system and not worry about spending a weekend re-installing everything (which
-    have happened more time that I'd like to remember).
-  </p>
-  <p>
-    So after a few attempts using python and bash I ended with many files and
-    keep everything organized and concise turned out to be more tedious than the
-    setup itself. So there comes <a href="https://www.ansible.com/">Ansible</a>.
-    It is an enterprise-graded software used to automate tasks. It has A LOT OF
-    features and it can be really helpful if you're a sysadmin but for now we're
-    going to focuson
-    <a href="https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_intro.html#ansible-pull">
-      Ansible Pull
-    </a>
-    and
-    <a href="https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks.html">
-      Playbooks
-    </a>. As better described:
-    <blockquote>
-      [Ansible-Pull] is used to up a remote copy of ansible on each managed
-      node, each set to run via cron and update playbook source via a source
-      repository. This inverts the default push architecture of Ansible into a
-      pull architecture, which has near-limitless scaling potential.
-
-      Playbooks are Ansible’s configuration, deployment, and orchestration
-      language. They can describe a policy you want your remote systems to
-      enforce, or a set of steps in a general IT process.
-      (<a href="https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cli/ansible-pull.html">source</a>)
-    </blockquote>
-  </p>
-  <p>
-    The goal is to pull and run a playbook remotely using a git repository. The
-    playbook will describe the tasks needed to setup our machine from scratch.
-    <br/>
-    But first lets tinker a bit a with playbooks locally with ansible-playbook,
-    to do so we need to add localhost to ansible's hosts list. Add it to
-    /etc/ansible/hosts:
-<pre><code>[all]
-localhost</code></pre>
-  </p>
-  <p>
-    As an experiment we're going to write a asks to install vim. Currently, I'm
-    using Fedora thus we going to use dnf modeule to install packages, but if
-    you're using another distribution look for a equivalent module like apt
-    module for Ubuntu.
-
-    The playbook to install is quite simple:
-
-<pre><code># main.yaml
-- hosts: all
-  tasks:
-     - name: install vim
-       dnf:
-         name: vim
-         state: latest</code></pre>
-    <dl>
-        <dt>host</dt>
-        <dd>it is required and it has to match our hosts otherwise the playbook won't run.</dd>
-        <dt>taks</dt>
-        <dd>
-          it is the list of tasks that the playbook will perform, in this case
-          will be dnf install vim.
-        </dd>
-    </dl>
-  </p>
-  <p>
-    To run a playbook use the command ansible-playbook commando to run main.yml
-    direct from disk, do to so just run the following command:
-<pre><code>sudo ansible-playbook --connection=local main.yml</code></pre>
-  </p>
-  <p>
-    After a few seconds, vim will be installed on your machine.
-<pre><code>PLAY [all] *************************************************************
-
-TASK [Gathering Facts] *************************************************
-ok: [localhost]
-
-TASK [install vim] *****************************************************
-ok: [localhost]
-
-PLAY RECAP *************************************************************
-localhost                  : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0</code></pre>
-  </p>
-  <p>
-    This is the first step, next part we shall create a more complex playbook and
-    setup repository to run it remotely using ansible-pull.
-  </p>
