ansible-setup-dev

Setup dev machines using ansible.

Dependency

• pip install ansible

Execution

• ansible-playbook -i hosts_file dev-setup.yml

Note:

• The root folder of the repository should be the pwd when the command is executed for the dotfiles to be found
• The hosts_file should contain a section dev listing all the remote machines to setup (either as IP addresses or as hostnames which could be resolved by either the DNS, or using the ~/.ssh/config file)

Tasks

• Create a user (default: musicallyut) on the remote machine and ensure that the user can sudo without any passwords.
• Copy over the ssh key to allow me to log into the remote machine easily.
• Install various packages on the remote machine: git, vim, tmux, htop, etc.
• Copy over all the dotfiles to the remote machine, and setup z.
• Install the vim plugins using vim-plug.
• Install powerline-fonts on the machine.
• Set up nvm and install Node version 12.
• Download miniconda and extract it.

This leaves the remote machine ready to be used as a development platform for me.
