A environment management tool for Ansible content development that provides isolated workspaces for development. ansible-dev-environment (ade) manages virtual environments, collection installation and removal, and Python dependency resolution to ensure consistent, reproducible development environments.
Overview
ansible-dev-environment (ade) provides comprehensive collection development environment management by:
- Creating isolated virtual environments
- Installing and removing collections with full dependency tracking
- Resolving and installing collection Python dependencies from requirements.txt and test-requirements.txt
- Installing collections in editable mode with symlinks for active development
- Managing development dependencies like ansible-dev-tools
- Providing configurable workspace isolation
While ansible-galaxy efficiently manages collection installation and dependencies, it does not handle Python package dependencies that collections may require. ade complements this by ensuring all Python requirements are properly managed within isolated environments.
Collections are installed into Python's site-packages directory, making them discoverable by both Ansible and Python tooling including pytest.
🐝 Why Flyoobe?
Originally, Flyby11 was a simple patcher to remove the restrictions stopping you from installing Windows 11 (24H2) on unsupported hardware.
Old PC? No TPM, no Secure Boot, unsupported CPU? Flyby11 let you install Windows 11 anyway.
After helping thousands upgrade, one thing became clear:
Bypassing checks is only half the battle.
We needed a full setup solution — one that respects user choices instead of Microsoft's defaults.
Flyoobe was the next step:
- Skip the fluff
- Remove the junk
- Take full control from first boot
Because your PC should work for you, not the other way around.
Flyoobe keeps the original idea alive and pushes it even further.
