Ansible Role: Mac App Store CLI (mas)

Installs mas on macOS, and installs macOS apps from the Mac App Store.

Requirements

  • Homebrew: Requires homebrew already installed (you can use geerlingguy.mac.homebrew to install it on your Mac).
  • Mac App Store account: You can either sign into the Mac App Store via the GUI before running this role, or you can set the mas_email and mas_password prior to running the role. For security reasons, if you're going to use this role to sign in, you should use vars_prompt for at least the password; don't store unencrypted passwords with your playbooks!

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

mas_email: ""
mas_password: ""

The credentials for your Mac App Store account. The Apps you install should already be purchased by/registered to this account.

If setting these variables statically (e.g. in an included vars file), you should encrypt the inventory using Ansible Vault. Otherwise you can use vars_prompt to prompt for the password at playbook runtime.

If you leave both blank, and don't prompt for them, the role assumes you've already signed in via other means (e.g. via GUI or mas signin [email]), and will not attempt to sign in again.

mas_signin_dialog: false

Fallback to the built-in Mac App Store dialog to complete sign in. If set to yes, you must specify the aforementioned mas_email variable which will be autofilled in the dialog and prompt you to enter your password, followed by the 2FA authorization code if enabled on the account.

Install apps

mas_installed_apps:
  - { id: 425264550, name: "Blackmagic Disk Speed Test (3.0)" }
  - { id: 411643860, name: "DaisyDisk (4.3.2)" }
  - { id: 498486288, name: "Quick Resizer (1.9)" }
  - { id: 497799835, name: "Xcode (8.1)" }

A list of apps to ensure are installed on the computer using the Mac App Store. You can get IDs for all your existing installed apps with mas list, and you can search for IDs with mas search [App Name]. The name attribute is not authoritative and only used to provide better information in the playbook output.

mas_upgrade_all_apps: false

Whether to run mas upgrade, which will upgrade all installed Mac App Store apps.

Remove installed apps

mas_uninstalled_apps:
  - { id: 408981434, name: "iMovie" }
  - { id: 409183694, name: "Keynote" }
  - { id: 409201541, name: "Pages" }
  - { id: 409203825, name: "Numbers" }
  - { id: 682658836, name: "GarageBand" }

A list of apps to uninstall from the computer, which were installed using the Mac App Store. You can get IDs for all your existing installed apps with mas list. The name attribute is not authoritative and only used to provide better information in the playbook output.
