While Ansible is not officially supported to deploy Garage, several community members
have published Ansible roles. We list them and compare them below.
## Comparison of Ansible roles
| Feature | [ansible-role-garage](#zorun-ansible-role-garage) | [garage-docker-ansible-deploy](#moan0s-garage-docker-ansible-deploy) |
|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Runtime** | Systemd | Docker |
| **Target OS** | Any Linux | Any Linux |
| **Architecture** | amd64, arm64, i686 | amd64, arm64 |
| **Additional software** | None | Traefik |
| **Automatic node connection** | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Layout management** | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Manage buckets & keys** | ❌ | ✅ (basic) |
| **Allow custom Garage config** | ✅ | ❌ |
| **Facilitate Garage upgrades** | ✅ | ❌ |
| **Multiple instances on one host** | ✅ | ✅ |
## zorun/ansible-role-garage
[Source code](https://github.com/zorun/ansible-role-garage), [Ansible galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/zorun/garage)
This role is voluntarily simple: it relies on the official Garage static
binaries and only requires Systemd. As such, it should work on any
Linux-based OS.
To make things more flexible, the user has to provide a Garage
configuration template. This allows to customize Garage configuration in
any way.
Some more features might be added, such as a way to automatically connect
nodes to each other or to define a layout.
## moan0s/garage-docker-ansible-deploy
[Source code](https://github.com/moan0s/garage-docker-ansible-deploy), [Blog post](https://hyteck.de/post/garage/)
This role is based on the Docker image for Garage, and comes with
"batteries included": it will additionally install Docker and Traefik. In
addition, it is "opinionated" in the sense that it expects a particular
deployment structure (one instance per disk, one gateway per host,
structured DNS names, etc).
As a result, this role makes it easier to start with Garage on Ansible,
but is less flexible.
