DEPRECATED - REFACTORED INTO ROLES

See https://github.com/andrew-dias/ansible-role-dev-machine

dev-machine-playbook

This Ansible playbook configures my personal development machine. It is designed to run on a fresh Linux Mint 18.1 installation, and has not been tested with any other distributions.

The playbook can also be configured to clone any number of dotfiles repositories and execute a specified installer script on each.

Requirements

Before running this playbook you must have both Git and Ansible installed.

apt add-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
apt add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
apt update
apt install git
apt install ansible

Installation

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/andrew-dias/dev-machine-playbook.git

1. Install Ansible dependencies

The playbook dependencies are defind in requirements.yml.

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

The playbook uses ansible.cfg to set the roles installation path to your ~/.local/share/ansible/roles folder due to Ansible issue #16010.

1. Run the playbook

ansible-playbook playbook.yml

1. Log out to ensure all changes are activated

Dotfiles

The playbook takes an optional --extra-vars parameter to receive a .yml file that (typically) defines dotfiles repos to clone and install. For example, a file local-vars.yml could be maintaind on the local filesystem:

---
dotfiles:
  - name: dotfiles
    repo: https://github.com/andrew-dias/dotfiles.git
    dest: ../dotfiles
    runner: install

And then fed to Ansible:

ansible-playbook playbook.yml --extra-vars=@../local-vars.yml --tags dotfiles
