Development Machine Setup

My dotfiles re-implemented using Ansible.

Supported Operating Systems

• Ubuntu

Really it's just Ubuntu for now since that's the only machine I care about for my local development setup. If you're feeling super inspired and want to submit a PR to support other operating systems, I wouldn't say no. Just refer to the contributing section below.

Installation

To install, just clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/coderjoe/dev-environment.git ~/dev-environment

Usage

To run the ansible playbook use the provided bash script:

cd ~/dev-environment
./run.sh

If necessary this script will bootstrap the system with ansible from the official ansible packge source and prompt for a series of user variables used by the playbook.

"Advanced" Usage

If you'd like to run with options, the run.sh script passes options to ansible-playbook:

# This will run the playbook using roles with the development tag
./run.sh -t development

Contributing

If you'd like to contribute, I appreciate it! I'll happily consider any pull requests provided, but please consider the following things first...

1. Ultimately this repo is designed to assist me in setting up my own personal development machine. I likely won't accept changes which would install packages or configuration I'm unlikely to use.
2. I really only use Ubuntu right now. Other opreating systems aren't out of the question but if it makes maintenance too difficult for my primary use case it'll be a tough sell.
3. Support for windows is highly unlikely at least until ansible can be run from a native windows host.
4. I'm much more likely to accept a PR that has been vetted by a submitted issue first, or from a fork that is actively in use.
