You can run Ansible-NAS from the computer you plan to use for your NAS, or from a remote controlling machine. The steps for deployment are exactly the same, just pay attention to editing the inventory file in step 7.

1. Enable the Ubuntu Universe repository:

    `sudo add-apt-repository universe`

2. Install Ansible:

    `sudo apt update`

    `sudo apt install software-properties-common`

    `sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible`

    `sudo apt install ansible`

3. Clone Ansible-NAS:

    `git clone https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas.git && cd ansible-nas`

4. Create your own inventory and config files by copying `inventories/sample` to your own directory:

    `cp -rfp inventories/sample inventories/my-ansible-nas`

5. Review `group_vars/all.yml` for general settings and `roles/[application]/defaults/main.yml` for individual applications. Change settings by overriding them in `inventories/my-ansible-nas/group_vars/nas.yml`.

6. Update `inventories/my-ansible-nas/inventory`.

7. Install the dependent roles: `ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml` (you might need `sudo` to install Ansible roles).

8. Run the playbook - something like `ansible-playbook -i inventories/my-ansible-nas/inventory nas.yml -b -K` should do you nicely.
