These automations have been tested on: MacOS, Ubuntu and Arch Linux.
Download this repository, go to the root folder of the repository and run:
./bootstrap.shEnter the sudo password when prompted for the BECOME password and sit back while ansible does all the hard work.
Arch usually doesn't come with unzip preinstalled, so the best option is to use bsdtar, which comes preinstalled, to unzip the downloaded contents.
Here's a one-liner to download this repository as a zip file, unzip it using bsdtar and cd into the repository folder:
curl -L -o ~/Downloads/dev-bootstrap.zip https://github.com/lily-gh/dev-bootstrap/archive/refs/heads/main.zip && cd ~/Downloads && bsdtar -xf dev-bootstrap.zip && cd dev-bootstrap-mainThen run:
./bootstrap.shEnter the sudo password when prompted for the BECOME password and sit back while ansible does all the hard work.
The playbook in this repository ensures that the following packages/apps are installed:
- bat

- zsh-syntax-highlighting

The main bootstrap.sh script will check if ansible is installed in the system, and install it if it's not already installed, then, it will use ansible to start the main playbook with the following command:
ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-become-passWhen I (Lily) run the script, I pass in an additional parameter lily when running bootstrap.sh, this causes the script to execute an additional ansible playbook and uses an additional argument:
ansible-playbook main.yml lily.yml --ask-become-pass --ask-vault-passThe lily.yml playbook imports two other playbooks that are used to setup my ssh key and download one of my private repos:
- import_playbook: tasks/setup-ssh.yml
- import_playbook: tasks/clone-lilydevtools.yml The parameter --ask-vault-pass prompts me for a password to decrypt the ssh key in this repository.
