Sysconfig

This is an Ansible playbook to deploy my system configurations for desktop usage.

🧰 Usage

• Have a fresh installation of Alpine (after running setup-alpine and reboot)

• Install ansible-core and git

• Clone this repository

• Install needed external modules (e.g. apk, pamd, mount):

  ansible-galaxy install -r requirements/collections.yml
  

• Create an encrypted file to store your user password:

  mkdir -p host_vars/YOUR_HOSTNAME
  touch host_vars/YOUR_HOSTNAME/secrets.yml
  ansible-vault encrypt host_vars/YOUR_HOSTNAME/secrets.yml
  ansible-vault edit host_vars/YOUR_HOSTNAME/secrets.yml
  

  The file should look like this: vault_password: <strong_&_secure_password>

• Customize the variables in group_vars/all.yml.

  Note that some variables only accept a list of defined values. They are listed in requirements/accepted_variables.yml.

• Run the playbook:

  ansible-playbook setup.yml
  

• Reboot and login as the newly created normal user

• Proceed with dotfiles-ansible playbook

🖊️ Notes

• This playbook assumes that the person running it is me 😃 and targets a single-user AlpineLinux system. It might do specific tasks that you don't like. Use with your own risks.

• The playbook assumes it's only run once. As such it doesn't take into account conflicted services when switching options in later runs.

• The playbook is intended to be run as root. Hence, it is separated from dotfiles-ansible, which should only be run as a normal user.
