Contributing Your Own

Have a great real-world example? Consider contributing it! Real-world examples should:

1. Solve a complete problem - Not just demonstrate one feature
2. Be practical - Something you'd actually use
3. Combine features - Show how features work together
4. Include documentation - Explain what it does and why
5. Be testable - Work with --dry-run for safety

Ideas for Real-World Examples

• Web Server Setup - Deploy nginx + app + database
• Development Environment - Complete dev stack setup
• System Hardening - Security configurations
• Backup System - Automated backup routines
• CI/CD Deployment - Application deployment pipeline
• Docker Host Setup - Container environment provisioning
• Monitoring Setup - Prometheus + Grafana + exporters
• WiFi Configuration - Network profiles and VPN

Learning Path

1. Complete the numbered examples first (01-10)
2. Study how features combine in real-world examples
3. Adapt these examples to your needs
4. Build your own real-world configurations

Getting Help

• Review individual feature examples (01-10)
• Check the main README
• Use --dry-run to preview safely
• Use --log-level debug to troubleshoot
