ansible playbook?

[ayushin]

Considering migrating to modoboa but being held back by a non-standard installation process

This clearly seems be a case for ansible playbook similar to https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy with re-use of many roles like redis, postgres, nginx or traefik and so on...

Any particular reason why this particular approach for the installation was chosen?

Mostly to avoid external dependencies at installation time.
But we're not against Ansible or similar at all. If you want to contribute such a playbook, you're welcome.
