A collection of ansible scripts to setup my machines

Primary LanguageShell

Ansible PC setup

This is a collection of ansible scripts I use to setup a new computer.

How to use

  1. sudo apt install git

  2. Clone this repo

  3. Run sudo ./bootstrap to install dependencies

  4. If needed update the inventory file

  5. Update the vars/config.local file

  6. Create a file for the new PC

    touch "install_$(hostname).yml"

  7. Add the basics in the file

    ---
- hosts: local
  become: false
  vars_files:
    - "./vars/config.local"

  roles:
    - role: system/base
      become: yes

  8. Add the roles as needed taking inspiration from the existing files

  9. Run ./install (-C allows to run in dry mode)

  10. ⚠ Check the logs some tasks add a message saying what to do next
