Easily setup up a machine to my liking using ansible. Should work on recent-ish Ubuntu installs (14.04+) and upgrades Debian testing(stretch, currently) to unstable(sid).
The included site.yml automatically only installs desktop packages when a GUI
is present. Customization is straightforward with well(hopefully) separated
roles.
curl http://dschep.github.io/box/install | bash -x
or
wget -qO- http://dschep.github.io/box/install | bash -x
curl http://dschep.github.io/box/install | bash -x -s -- --git-https branch-name
You can obviously use a global inventory file, but often that's not
convenient so it's easier to use -i hostname,. It's best to use the real
hostname instead of localhost because like that the paybook can easily use
that name to decide what to install.
sudo apt install python-pip python-dev libssl-dev ansible
# manually run `git` to trigger xcode cli tool installation
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install ansible
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
This is what the quick install runs.
ansible-playbook -i $HOSTNAME, site.yml
This installs any secrets that are encrypted with ansible-vault
ansible-playbook -i $HOSTNAME, --ask-vault-pass secrets.yml
A Vagrantfile is included that properly overrides a few options for easily setting up a development VM. This is useful for making crappy OSes(Windows/MacOS) usable. It includes a private hostonly interface for easy network connectivity. It has the IP 10.42.42.42 which is nice and easy to remember, It just requires setting up a host-only NIC in VBox in that subnet.
