Sync dir

This directory contains things I'd like to keep in sync across my workstations.

It uses Ansible running locally. This was chosen because Ansible does not run a peristent agent on the machine.

Running it on a new box

Short term - not making changes

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/asacamano-linux-setup/sync.git ;
cs sync
git submodule add -f https://github.com/asacamano-linux-setup/gui.git modules/gui
sudo sync.sh

Long term

First, make a new SSH key and add it to your SSH agent and your GitHub account following the instructions on that GitHib page.

Then

cd ~
git clone git@github.com:asacamano-linux-setup/sync.git ;
cs sync
git submodule add -f git@github.com:asacamano-linux-setup/gui.git modules/gui
sudo sync.sh

Choosing or adding modues

By itself this code does basic setup, but can be extended by adding "modules" to the modules directory.

Use the git submodule command to add them, e.g.

git submodule add -f https://github.com/asacamano-linux-setup/gui.git modules/gui

Each module must contain a tasks file with the same name as the modue, e.g.

modules/gui/gui.yml

Running the setup script

Once the modules are installed, run

sudo ./setup.sh

Overview

All modules playbooks are executed first, so that they can populate variables used in the public playboks. Modules are executed in alphabetical sort order.
