+In my homelab, I like to play with tools like Ansible and Terraform. The primary interface is the CLI, which I love, but sometimes a fancy web UI is just nice.
 
 After setting up my OPNsense cluster, I wanted a way to keep it up to date on a schedule. Automation means Ansible to me, but how do you automate and schedule playbooks?

 ## Discovery
 
 After starting the stack, I can reach the login page at the URL:
-![Semaphore UI login page](img/semaphore-login-page.png)
+![Page de connexion de Semaphore UI](img/semaphore-login-page.png)
 
 To log in, I use the credentials defined by `SEMAPHORE_ADMIN_NAME`/`SEMAPHORE_ADMIN_PASSWORD`. 
 
 On first login, Semaphore prompt me to create a project. I created the Homelab project:
-![Semaphore UI new project page](img/semaphore-create-project.png)
+![Page de création de projet de Semaphore UI](img/semaphore-create-project.png)
 
 The first thing I want to do is to add my *homelab* repository (you can find its mirror on Github [here](https://github.com/Vezpi/homelab)). In `Repository`, I click the `New Repository` button, and add the repo URL. I don't specify credentials because the repo is public:

+![Page d'ajout de dépôt de Semaphore UI](img/semaphore-add-repository.png)
 
 ℹ️ Before continue, I deploy 3 VMs for testing purpose: `sem01`, `sem02` and `sem03`. I created them using Terraform with [this project](https://github.com/Vezpi/Homelab/tree/main/terraform/projects/semaphore-vms).
 
 To interact with these VMs I need to configure credentials. In the the `Key Store`, I add the first credential, a SSH key for my user:
-![Semaphore UI new key page](img/semaphore-create-new-ssh-key.png)
+![Page d'ajout d'une nouvelle clé de Semaphore UI](img/semaphore-create-new-ssh-key.png)
 
 Then I create a new `Inventory`. I'm using the Ansible inventory format (the only one available). I select the SSH key previously created and select the type as `Static`. In the fields I enter the 3 hosts created with their FQDN:

 ✅ With a project, repo, credentials, and inventory in place, I can move forward and test to run an Ansible playbook.

 In Semaphore UI, I can now create my first `Task Template` for Ansible playbook. I give it a name, the playbook path (from the root folder of the repo), the repository and its branch:
-![Semaphore UI new Ansible task template](img/semaphore-create-new-ansible-task-template.png)
+![Nouveau template de tâche Ansible dans Semaphore UI](img/semaphore-create-new-ansible-task-template.png)
 
 Time to launch the playbook! In the task templates list, I click on the ▶️ button:
-![Semaphore UI launch Ansible task template](img/semaphore-run-test-playbook.png)
+![Lancement du template de tâche Ansible dans Semaphore UI](img/semaphore-run-test-playbook.png)
 
 The playbook launches and I can follow the output in real time:
 ![Semaphore UI Ansible task output](img/semaphore-ui-ansible-task-output.png)
 
 I can also review previous runs:
-![Semaphore UI tasks runs list](img/semaphore-ui-task-template-run-list.png)
+![Liste des exécutions de tâches dans Semaphore UI](img/semaphore-ui-task-template-run-list.png)
 
 
 ✅ Finally I can confirm the job is done by checking the URL on port 80 (http):
-![Testing URL after applying playbook on hosts ](img/semaphore-ui-test-nginx-page-playbook.png)
+![Test de l'URL après application du playbook sur les hôtes](img/semaphore-ui-test-nginx-page-playbook.png)
 
 Managing Ansible playbooks in Semaphore UI is pretty simple and really convenient. The interface is really sleek.
 
 There are also a lot of customization available when setting the task template up. I can use variables in a survey, specify limit or tags. I really like it.
