Dotfiles

This repo contains both my dotfiles as well as Ansible playbooks to provision new machines.

Use at your own risk.

Playbooks

• bootstrap.yml: SSH and Homebrew setup
• main.yml: Pretty much everything else
• imac.yml: For quieting down the broken HDD fan on my iMac
• macbook_pro.yml: Remap Caps Lock to Control on the laptop

Usage

Use a tracking issue as a checklist for local provisioning.

Remote provisioning

On the control machine:

brew install ansible
git clone --recursive git@github.com:kejadlen/dotfiles
cd dotfiles/ansible

echo HOST > hosts.private

ansible-playbook bootstrap.yml --ask-pass --ask-become-pass
ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-become-pass

A couple items that I haven't gotten around to automating yet that need to be manually run post-provisioning:

# Symlink ~/.dotfiles to Dropbox
rm -rf ~/.dotfiles
ln -s ~/Dropbox/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

Development

Ansible tags are indispensible when tweaking the config:

- command: echo debug
  tags: debug

ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-become-pass --tags=debug

TODO

See issues.
