.Files

This repository contains my .Files an Ansible playbook and a custom Python script for deployment.

Usage

1. Run sh -c "$(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lony/dotFiles/master/setup.sh)"

• Executes setup script
• Download repository to home folder
• Install ansible prerequisites
• Run Ansible

2. Customize ansible/roles/dotfiles/src/bash_zsh/all_secret.sh and maybe .ssh/config (see SSH guide)
3. Execute ./setup.sh again
4. Switch repo back git remote set-url origin [email protected]:lony/dotFiles.git
5. Generate SSH key in /Users/<home>/.ssh using ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "<[email protected]>" -N ""
6. Add public SSH key to Github https://github.com/settings/keys

Hint: To install the corporate subset just clone the repository and run ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass --inventory localhost, ansible/site.yml --skip-tags corporate-do-not.

Architecture

1. The setup.sh installs OS specific Ansible prerequisites and starts Ansible
2. Ansible has multiple roles which each are triggered
3. The dotfile role contains a Python script which creates shell scripts for bash, zsh and fish

Testing

• Amazon Linux
  • Go into ~/dotFiles
  • docker pull amazonlinux
  • DIR=/root/dotFiles; docker run -it --mount src="$(pwd)",target=$DIR,type=bind --rm amazonlinux bash -c "cd $DIR; ./setup.sh; exec \"\$0\""

This is heavily inspired by the work of the following people:

• Dominik's - basic idea for bash, zsh, vim and tmux
• Christopher - vim plugins
• Michael - cli tooling e.g. httpie, jq
• Sebastian's - homebrew setup, tmux enhancing
• Florian - fish support
• Jeff's, 2 - Ansible deployment, testing, mas
• Chavez's - Ansible bootstrapping and vim, tmux enhanced setup
• Richard's - Dock configuration
• Fotis's - File associations
