Translating a server-environment Debian-apt Ansible playbook to an Arch Linux one
0
I have the following Ansible playbook to install a simple, 99% all-default server environment (AMPS - Apache, MySQL, PHP, Ssmtp) on distros implementing apt.
Say I change all apt commands to packman and make some minor syntax changes here and there. Can I still use it with all its packages and commands on Arch Linux?

No, because the package names are different on Arch, as are the commands for pacman.

Also, if you have never used Arch before, it is a terrible idea to think you can set up a server with a configuration manager.

@jasonwryan it is extremely important for me to ask you if you will say the same for openSUSE, Alpine or any other "fully rolling release" distro?

I know nothing about how those other distros work, but I imagine that the same would apply. They have their own package managers and naming conventions.

I see. Well, seems like staying with latest Debian stable and a good-written Ansible playbook will the stablest I could get for say 15-20 years. After all, who knows what technologies will be available then; maybe by then PaaS services will be much cheaper (also 5 USD per machine like a cheap IaaS or maybe IaaS machines will have much better automation solutions than available now by 2018).
