+# FreeIPA Ansible roles
+
+This repository contains [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) roles and playbooks to install and uninstall [FreeIPA](https://www.freeipa.org/) servers and clients. A role for replica is in the work, but not functional so far.
+
+**Note**: The ansible playbooks and roles require a configured ansible environment where the ansible nodes are reachanble and are properly set up to have an IP address and a working package manager.
+
+**Supported FreeIPA versions**
+
+For now only FreeIPA versions 4.5 and up are supported. The client role should also be functional with FreeIPA 4.4.
