This is my handy way of provisioning Debian systems for personal use.
Given that I plan to use this on multiple type of systems (work laptops, home laptops, Raspberry Pis, servers...), I have split tasks into different roles. This way I can mix and match, depending on my needs on each system. The one constant thing is the use of Debian. I might add Ubuntu support later, but... meh.
Available roles:
- debian: Configure Debian repositories for apt.
- console-tools: Tools I use on the console. I install these everywhere.
- console-personal: cli tools for personal use (like Mutt). I don't want these on servers.
- desktop: Install desktop stuff like Firefox, Chromium, etc.
- dev: Day-to-day dev work tools (Virtualbox, Vagrant, Puppet5, Puppet Development Kit, etc)
- network-tools: Network troubleshooting (nmap, tcpdump, etc)
Install the minimum requirements:
sudo apt-get install git ansible
Check out this repo:
git clone https://github.com/dtsomp/provision.git
Edit provision.yml:
- comment/uncomment roles according to needs
- update the variables if needed
Dry-run to check for errors:
ansible-playbook provision.yml -K --check
If all is well, run it:
ansbile-playbook provision.yml -K
Congrats, you have succesfully provisioned your system.
- Pulling from git repos using ssh will probably complain about ssh hostkeys. Easy workaround:
ssh git.server.comand accept the hostkey.
