Goal here is to enable easy provisioning of an Apple Mac laptop, etc to be useful.
The only real playbook is macos.yml
The roles, etc do NOT consider operating systems outside of macOS with homebrew installed at this time. Some settings
require root or administrator permissions; generally this are flagged ahead of time.
macos.yml - playbook to build a macOS system.
While the basic play will build a useful macOS system (for me at least), there's
CLI definable function host groups. These apply specific roles, values, etc for
my own use cases. Nothing in this depends on host names. The assumption is host names
are an unreliable source of truth for provisioning a system for a given function.
To apply a function, use --extra-vars 'function=[\"foo\",\"bar\"]' to the CLI to
create the host group, then define the group variables in group_vars, and the roles
to be applied in the macos.yml playbook.
To test the playbook:
ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass -vvvv ./macos.yml --check
To run it:
ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass ./macos.yml
common: basic pieces of software that are on every macOS system
macos: basic settings for a macOS system. Configure brew, set screensaver behavior, etc
desktop: default utilities for desktop systems
laptop: default utilities for laptops
home: configure home directory and files
devel: install development tools (intellij, etc)
wifi: install WiFi specific tools
utils: collected tasks for GUI utilities
tools: collected tasks for CLI utilities
vm: install VM utilities (VirtualBox, vagrant)
docker: install Docker for Desktop etc

- unify various pieces under tools/utils that are specifically for software, etc.
- have "devel" be the developer role for devices.
- rewrite of the whole thing to be more modular.
- support roles more effectively by creating roles, and using
