Package List

Arch Linux: Refer to roles/system/vars/main.yml for the full list.
Ubuntu: Refer to roles/system-ubuntu/vars/main.yml for the full list.

Installation

Before installation, review vars/config.yml for essential configurations such as the username and the location of the dotfiles repository.

Encrypted files may appear post-installation. These are protected using Ansible Vault and can be safely removed if not needed. Remember, do not store sensitive information in GitHub; encryption here is used primarily for obfuscation, not security.

Arch Installation

git clone https://github.com/burakkose/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
make install-deps-arch && make arch

Ubuntu Installation

As I primarily use Arch and not Ubuntu much these days, the Ubuntu setup will always lag behind.

git clone https://github.com/burakkose/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
make install-deps-ubuntu && make ubuntu

To provision dotfiles only:

make dotfiles

Encryption & Decryption

Sensitive data is encrypted using Ansible Vault. The list of encrypted files can be found in vars/vault.yml. As mentioned above, do not store sensitive information here; encryption here is used primarily for obfuscation, not security.

Use the following commands to encrypt or decrypt:

make encrypt
make decrypt

Note: Ensure the username in vars/config.yml matches your system's username.
