Workstation Setup

Assumptions

Ubuntu 21.10 (should mostly work on other releases though, and Debian should only take a few tweaks)
🆕 ...or Manjaro. Might work with Arch, too.
You like the same tools as me...

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt install ansible

sudo pacman -S ansible

Note that this installs the Galaxy roles, but you can do this manually with:

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

Then:

ansible-playbook -e "user=$USER" playbook.yml -K --skip-tags manjaro

ansible-playbook -e "user=$USER" playbook.yml -K --skip-tags ubuntu

ansible-playbook -e "user=$USER" playbook.yml --tags configure

Using local and various excellent Ansible Galaxy roles, you get:

...and more (see playbook).
