dotfiles

This is the last dotfiles and provisioning repo I make. I swear.

Tools

I'm using Ansible. Inside of this repo, I've tried to configure everything to be as simple as possible using this. I might even create a simple CLI/bash script that will rerun this stuff as I make changes to it.

This is paired with yadm to manage lots of my actual dotfiles.

I tried Comtrya. It's great for very simple things. I want a completely provisioned system which isn't simple. For example, if I want to use comtrya to manage files in /etc, I have to chown them to me, run file.copy, and chown them back to root.

Setup

Before I run this, I have to do the following things (in no particular order)

• Create ~/.config/ansible/dotfiles-provisioning-vault and export its password from my password manager
• Set up an SSH key for use with my GitHub account

I should probably figure out a spot for this somewhere in the ~/.local hierarchy for future runs.

Usage

Kitchen Sink

ansible-playbook site.yaml

Individual Tasks

This won't work on OS-specific things as those are just tasks files.

ansible-playbook <subject>.ansible.yaml
