* Add a few aliases for initializing projects. * Begin creating executables in bin for flatpaks. Create an array to reduce future changes. * Add quotes. * Create files as user and set executable permissions. * Split exec dir from array section. * Increase interval for Telegraf but keep the flush at 30s. * Add alias goodbye/bye, modify alias names for initializing program and video projects. * Add newline. * Add content to file to remove warning. * Use arrays for Flatpak sections. Create executable files for them. * Move sudoer files into shared folder. * First stab at automating a GitLab install. * First stab at automating DWM install. * Fix 'usr' typo. * Lowercase dwm. * Fix config play. Install font-awesome. * Add placeholder. * Add dmenu and st. * Fix typo. Hopefully also fixes ~/bin executables. * Add Signal. Remove Discord. * Remove extra line. * Add newline. * Move dbus-launch to correct app. * Fix clock minutes. * Add server for GitLab. * Change check, package was not registering anything. * Change success to failed. * Change to http. Will use reverse proxy. * Remove useless sudo. Go ahead and allow postfix to be installed. * Fix debug option "var". * Only give the out lines. Remove exit, doesn't stop the job. * Add a few games and test them on dell-laptop. * Ignore Lutris errors, Rolling Rhino doesn't like the PPA. ;) * Add goodbye for updating then quitting. * Add airbook to gaming. * Add dnf. * Fix missing underscores. * Install cronie on Fedora. * Beginning to add Fedora. * Add Fedora values. * Make font-awesome optional since it may need installed manually on some systems. * Fix typo in ignore_errors. * Allow DWM to fail, won't work for all workstations. Fedora doesn't have X11 headers. * Most dists are using python3-psutil for the psutil package name. Make it the default. * Fix firefox_esr variable. * More Fedora support. * Move installation of cron to more applicable task list. * Fic nfs-utils typo. * The font is honestly pretty important. ;) * Add Librewolf for testing vs Brave. * For some reason the other link didn't work for Fedora, add the one from flatpak's instructions. * Fedora status update. * Add games to Inspiron. * LibreWolf is amazing. Use it as default if available. * Use English rather than code for `and` and `or`. * Always have LibreWolf pinned if it's available. Brave should still be the main browser for URL-clicking compatibility. * Fix comma. * Add entry for testing Fedora Gitlab server. * Attempt to automate more of the Gitlab setup, especially the part of being behind a reverse proxy. Also add Fedora family support. * Specify the package managers for Gitlab. * Add missing bracket. * Add another missing bracket. * Fix gitlab's when clause. * Another fix for the gitlab when. * Change original gitlab install to be Community Edition. * Fix mgr typo. Create config file if it doesn't exist. * Remove duplicate `when` on Lutris uninstall. * Gitlab script gets a packagecloud.io error for Fedora. Looks like only CentOS and its derivatives are supported. * Update status of Fedora.
ansible
Getting real with system management via ansible-pull.
Disclaimer
This setup is specific to the maintainer's devices and needs. You're welcome to use it as an example for your needs, but do not expect it to work as-is.
Currently Supported Linux Systems
Debian Family
Debian
100%, but only if using a recent enough version of Ansible. pip
usually has a better version than apt
.
Ubuntu
100%, both server and desktop.
Pop!_OS
100%, have not used for a while though.
Mint
100%, but not really used, just tested once for fun.
Parrot Security OS (MATE)
100% for a while, but OS did not serve maintainer's needs and 404 errors were terrible while updating. Ubuntu Rolling Rhino filled the gap.
Arch Family
Manjaro
100% at some point.
Fedora Family
Fedora 35
Workstation: 100% Server: 100%
Currently Supported Unix Systems
FreeBSD 12, 13
100%, although GUI is not working completely on 13 yet (dash-to-dock doesn't compile).
Software choices are slightly more limited since not flatpak
-enabled and not feeling a ports
setup.
Waiting To Be Tested
Kali Linux
Arch Linux ARM
Specifically for the Pinephone.
Arch Linux x86
Would be great to have Arch get built up by this. Used for many years but left after update problems due to a long computer hiatus.
Future Goals
Make the preferred user's name per-device, specified in the hosts file, rather than the hard-coded ling
.
Eventually some of the scripts and install files will be put into the files folder. This will allow initializing systems outside of the maintainer's home network.
There may also be a refactor of task-specific facts to be in their task file so that some playbooks can be more self-sufficient and be provided to the community without hacking. The original goal was to never define facts in tasks, but the benefit has yet to be seen for some tasks. Shared facts will definitely continue to exist under the facts tree.
