James' Ansible configs

These playbooks should make it quicker to set up new personal computers. If you're not me, feel free to use them, but know that I have some me-specific things in them (like a hard-coded "james" username) that you'll want to change.

Linux usage

Note that these steps all assume that you're setting up Arch Linux with Wayland and Sway on an Intel laptop with integrated graphics.

For new systems, you'll need to follow the installation guide.

One you're booted into the newly installed OS and logged in as a non-root user with a password, install some dependencies:

pacamn -S git ansible ansible-core neovim

Then clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/jamesbvaughan/ansible && cd ansible

Allow the wheel group to use sudo:

EDITOR=nvim visudo

Run the main playbook:

ansible-playbook main.yaml

Extra steps

Qutebrowser

Set it as the default:

xdg-settings set default-web-browser org.qutebrowser.qutebrowser.desktop

Install the English dictionary:

/usr/share/qutebrowser/scripts/dictcli.py install en-US

spotify-tui

In order for the Spotify part of waybar to work, you need to authenticate with Spotify:

spt

macOS usage
