Prerequisites

Adminstrator (sudo) access by your user is required

Quick Start

Restore dependencies and run all playbooks:

sh run.sh

Usage

Dependencies

First restore python and ansible dependencies with the restore script. By default, these packages all install to the user scope ($HOME).

./restore.sh

NOTE: Most of the Python packages from requirements.txt are also necessary for various functionality in dotfiles or other user config as well. Therefore, if you want to install ansible to a virtualenv, you should do that manually by creating the virtualenv and pip install ansible

The community.general Ansible collection will be installed.
This playbook will also install rust, golang and some of their packages using the roles fubarhouse.rust and fubarhouse.golang.

Files and Templates

Some files like fonts, static configuration files, or binary archives are included in playbooks/files/ for use by the Ansible tasks.

Use the playbook variables to customize any of the templates from playbooks/templates/.

Packages Playbook

Install all required packages (from multiple package managers) and start+enable any services.

ansible-playbook playbooks/packages.yml

If this is your first run of the playbook, you will want to reboot afterwards.

Gnome UI Playbook

Apply GNOME settings, including themes, fonts, and other UI configurations.

ansible-playbook playbooks/gnome.yml
