Puppet Scripts for setting up an Xubuntu development box - virtual or bare metal.

Primary LanguagePuppet

puppet-xubuntu-devbox

Collection of Puppet scripts to automate the set up of an Xubuntu development box. May work on other distros; YMMV.

Status

Work in progress. Incomplete.

Use

  • Install Xubuntu 12.10 - virtual machine or bare metal.
  • Note the hostname and username of the new box.
  • Edit manifests/site.pp
  • Run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git puppet -y
git clone https://github.com/kpb/puppet-xubuntu-devbox.git
cd puppet-xubuntu-devbox
...

  • Edit the manifest/site.pp changing personal info and making sure the 'node' name matches the hostname of the box.

  • Copy the modules to a location on Puppet's modulepath (sudo puppet --configprint modulepath)

sudo puppet apply manifests/site.pp

Features

Sets up the box as I like it.

  • Removes packages I don't use.
  • Installs and configures tools/applications I find useful, including sundry dotfiles (bash, etc.).

Applications

Installs latest versions of:

  • Java 7 JDK
  • Maven
  • Eclipse
  • Emacs24
  • Tomcat
