## ⚙️ Automation
### Ansible Control Plane
**Watchtower** (10.0.0.200) manages all infrastructure via Ansible:
```bash
# SSH into control node
ssh chester@10.0.0.200
cd ~/homelab/ansible
# Test connectivity to all nodes
ansible all -m ping
# Gather live system facts
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather-node-facts.yml
# Deploy Proxmox post-install config
ansible-playbook playbooks/onboard-proxmox.yml --limit pve01
# Run commands across node groups
ansible docker_nodes -m command -a "docker ps"
ansible proxmox_cluster -m command -a "pveversion"
```
### Managed Node Groups
```yaml
control_plane: watchtower
docker_nodes: heimdall, waldorf
proxmox_cluster: pve01
nfs_clients: heimdall, waldorf
core_services: heimdall
media_services: waldorf
```
