I’ve never really used ansible before, and rarely get to play with freebsd so when I needed to setup a new IRC bouncer I decided what better chance than now to have a play. Although there are some built-in ansible modules for working with the ports system (Which is what we are going to use to install znc), they aren’t yet complete enough to bootstrap a server from scratch. We first need to setup our local computer to allow us to connect to the freebsd server.
