Store and Manage my Arch Linux Configuration with Ease 💻

Welcome to DotArch, a project to store and manage my Arch Linux configuration using an Ansible playbook. This project is divided into three parts: common, desktop, and laptop, allowing to customize the setup according to my needs.

Common Tasks 📋

Currently implemented common tasks:

System: Core components, install and configure base packages, configuring global system settings (i.e., locale, timezone, etc.). 🌍
- yay: Setting up the yay AUR helper. 📦
- zsh: Installing and configuring zsh as the default shell. 🐚
- pipewire: Setting up PipeWire for audio processing and device management. 🔊
WM: Setting up a window manager, herbstluftwm, and some useful programs. 🛠️
- lf: Setting up lf, a terminal file manager. 🗂️
- keymap: Configuring a custom keyboard layout. ⌨️
- fonts: Task for managing system fonts. 📚
Apps Installing and configure desktop software applications. 📦
- firefox: Configuring Firefox OneBar userChrome.css. 🔥

Docker Integration 🐳

Currently, I want to avoid installing Python and Ansible on the local machine, then I provide a Dockerfile and docker-compose setup. This allows you to run your Ansible playbook inside a container, making it easy to deploy the Arch Linux configuration without polluting the local environment.

Getting Started 🚀

To use DotArch, follow these steps:

You need a fresh installation of Arch Linux with:
- network configured,
- sudo configured to allow user with no pass (for seamless yay execution),
- ssh enabled and properly configured (with the key of ansible host).
Clone this repository to your local machine.
Customize the common, desktop, and laptop tasks according to your needs and select laptop or desktop in the playbook.
Run the Ansible playbook using Docker (see docker-compose.yml).
Enjoy your fully configured Arch Linux system.
