Ansible role that configures macOS and default apple applications.

Ansible Role: macOS

Configures macOS and default apple applications by mostly using the defaults module.

Requirements

• Homebrew: Requires homebrew already installed (you can use geerlingguy.homebrew to install it on your Mac).

Role Variables

There are quite a few, check out defaults/main.yml, most vars should be self explanatory.

Override defaults:

Since this role's vars are organized in dictionaries you have to override the defaults in an own dictionary that will be merged with the defaults.

In order to override this:

system_defaults:
  ui:
    interface_style: "Light"

You have to ommit the _defaults suffix like this:

system:
  ui:
    interface_style: "Dark"

Dependencies

• (Soft dependency) geerlingguy.homebrew

Example Playbook

- hosts: all
  roles:
     - geerlingguy.homebrew
     - kinglouie.macos

TODO

• Adjust defaults so they match macOS defaults.

Contributing

I will happily merge PR's with new tasks, just make sure...

• that your tasks are idempotent
• that the defaults match the defaults of macOS
