ytlaces

Installing

clone this repo
install puppet
symlink repo to one of the following until it works:

/etc/puppet/code/modules/ (possibly since puppet 4?)
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/ytlaces
/etc/puppet/code/environments/standalone_puppet/modules

install the following modules:

puppet module install puppetlabs-vcsrepo
puppet module install puppetlabs-apt
puppet module install puppet-archive

Run the appropriate bin/install_{env}.

$ puppet apply examples/init.pp

installation into rc and profile

The following files serve the following purposes:

filename	purpose
`$HOME/.xprofile`	yt-laces managed, for configuration that applies to all yt machines.
`$HOME/.profile`	user-managed, for configuration specific to the host.
`$HOME/.bashrc`	user-managed, for configuration specific to the host. should source ytlaces.

add a section into your bash/zsh rc file that sources in a whole directory of rc files:

. $HOME/.ytlaces/init

post-install setup.

There's a couple more steps that need to run, post-install for now:

add a resolv.conf line for google's 8.8.8.8 dns. This ensures that a public dns is used before a private one.
ibus-setup

Work

hand-modify /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and set WaylandEnable=true.

Setting up from a fresh Windows install

run disk manager ("Create and format hard disk partitions") in the search
shrink main volume by desired amount.
disable UEFI secure boot (arch linux boot will not start without it)
start arch linux boot partition
follow setting up arch instructions

Setting up Arch

after installation, you may need to enable and start up network devices:
- ip link dev eno1 up
- systemctl enable dhcpcd
- systemctl start dhcpcd

wifi-menu can be used to connect to the network.

Then run:

bin/install_yay
yay -S install insync

Testing

After installing ytlaces, the following should be validated:

set password

Troubleshooting

CA certificates /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl expired

remove existing certs sudo rm -r /etc/puppetlabs/ssl
install puppetserver (in arch AUR)
run sudo puppetserver ca setup

cannot find "::ytlaces"

for some reason I had to sudo as root, then do the apply to find the module. some new version of puppet has issues?

This seemed to be fixed by symlinking ytlaces into the /usr/share/puppet/modules directory, or by fixing the name of the class in ./metadata.json to ytlaces instead of yt-laces.

I verified the puppet module was successfully installed with puppet modules list as root (since you need to root to run this file).
