+# Gitea Runner Automation with Ansible
+
+This repository contains an Ansible playbook and configuration files to automate the deployment and configuration of a Gitea Runner on a Rocky Linux 10 VM. 
+
+To deploy a Rocky Linux virtual machine, please go to [this repository](https://git.phyllo.me/IaC/advanced-libvirt-terraform-examples). 
+
+## Repository Structure
+
+```
+.
+├── ansible.cfg          # Ansible configuration settings
+├── inventory.ini        # Host inventory definition
+├── setup.yml            # Main playbook for Gitea Runner configuration
+├── update.yml           # Playbook to ensure system is up-to-date
+
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Ansible installed on your control machine
+2. Access to a Rocky Linux 10 VM with IP `10.17.3.36`
+3. SSH key authentication configured with `~/.ssh/terraform_key`
+4. Root privileges or sudo access on the target VM
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. **Install Ansible** (if not already installed):
+   ```bash
+   # For CentOS/RHEL/Fedora
+   sudo yum install ansible
+   
+   # For Ubuntu/Debian
+   sudo apt update && sudo apt install ansible
+   ```
+
+2. **Ensure SSH key exists**:
+   ```bash
+   ls ~/.ssh/terraform_key
+   ```
+
+3. **Run the playbook**:
+   ```bash
+   ansible-playbook site.yml
+   ```
+
+## What This Does
+
+This automation will:
+1. Connect to the specified Rocky Linux VM
+2. Update the system packages
+3. Install necessary dependencies (git)
+4. Create a dedicated gitea-runner user
+5. Set hostname to rocky10
+6. Download and install Gitea Runner v0.2.13
+7. Configure systemd service for automatic startup
+8. Start the Gitea Runner service
+
+The result is a fully configured Gitea Runner that will automatically start on system boot, ready to execute Gitea Actions workflows.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter issues:
+- Verify SSH connectivity to the target VM
+- Ensure Ansible can reach the specified IP address
+- Check that `~/.ssh/terraform_key` has correct permissions
+- Review output logs for specific error messages
+
+For additional help with Ansible configuration, consult the [official Ansible documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/index.html).
