btv (Bash, Tmux and Vim)

This is the Ansible version of my dotfiles project. It uses Ansible to:

• Install Vim and Tmux from source
• Add some Vim plugins
• Add some Vim color schemes
• Install the latest version of NodeJS
• Install the Vim Coc plugin which requires NodeJS
• Install the Vim GitHub Copilot plugin
• Install TPM plugin for Tmux
• Add my Bash, Tmux and Vim dotfiles

Tested On

• Ubuntu 20.04 (supports WSL 2)
• Ubuntu 22.04 (supports WSL 2)
• CentOS 7.9 or newer

NOTE: CentOS is version-locked to Ansible 2.9 which does not support fqcns used in these roles and playbooks. Ansible 2.10+ can be installed via pip3 but the Python 3 versions in CentOS 7 are ancient. Thus, the CentOS Dockerfile included here installs Python 3.10.9 from source, before pip-installing Ansible. Of course this means a docker build with this file is much slower.

To Do

• Add roles for Bash and Git
• Add MacOS support
• Consider adding one or more roles for:
  • MinTTY/Git Bash/WSLTTY
  • iTerm
  • VSCode

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or newer
• Ansible 2.10 or newer
• Must be able to sudo-to-root (roles use become directive)

Installation

1. Clone this project

git clone https://github.com/V01dDweller/btv.git

1. CD into the btv directory.

2. Install Vim and Tmux roles from Ansible Galaxy:

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

1. Run the playbook. To suppress inventory warnings, use localhost, as the inventory, e.g.:

ansible-playbook -i localhost, btv.yml

Testing with Docker

Ubuntu (preferred)

docker build -t myubuntu:latest . -f Dockerfile.ubuntu
docker run -d --name mytest_container sleep infinty
docker exec -it mytest_container bash
source .bash_profile

CentOS (ymmv)

docker build -y mycentos:latest . -f Dockerfile.centos
docker run -d --name mytest_container sleep infinity
docker exec -it mytest_container bash
source .bash_profile

At this point, bash, tmux and vim should work and have a matching theme.
