Josh Proehl's Dotfiles

Managed by Chezmoi.

Currently supports Arch-based, PopOS, Debian, and Fedora systems.

Installation

Note that we have to do a little dance to install on a new system because chezmoi is what installs our SSH keys. Thus we have to install from HTTPS, and then let Chezmoi run in order to bring in everything.

• Install Chezmoi on new device (system package manager on Arch, or https://www.chezmoi.io/install/ elsewhere)
• (if necessary) install system NPM using package manager
• run sudo npm install -g @bitwarden/cli to install BitWarden so we can use it during our first run.
• run chezmoi init https://gitlab.daedalusdreams.com/joshproehl/dotfiles.git
• run chezmoi apply to install
• after run completes, make sure you exit your shell, probably log out of the user account, and come back in, otherwise some things aren't going to work...
• after logging back in, run asdf install in home folder to install necessary tool versions. (including NPM, which future chezmoi runs will require)
• (optional) Remove system NPM now that we're using ASDF.

Chezmoi will need to have BW unlocked in order to run all scripts and templates. Easiest way to do this is export BW_SESSION="$(bw unlock --raw)". (And close the shell when you're done to re-lock)

During the first run Chezmoi will have run a script that updates the git remotes to the correct SSH transports and urls. Subsequent runs should also use the ASDF provided bitwarden, which will be installed on the 2nd run.

TODO

• Can we get Aura installed automatically on Arch-like systems? (And then be able to install AUR deps via script?) Maybe auto-detect if yay exists instead?

• document where to find age password (chezmoi-joshproehl in bitwarden) (put it in script, like the bitwarden client_id instructions?)

• First run of chezmoi update after unlocking BW requests confirming the gitlab.daedalusdreams.com and github.com SSH key fingerprints. Can we hardcode those? Add another confirmation method? (Running in the script prevents us from doing anything to actually validate the fingerprint)

  • Fingerprints file managed (partially at least?) in chezmoi and copied in before this point?

• Figure out how to deal with error on first run of chezmoi update on a new machine, before unlocking BW:

    [+++] Installing Antigen [+++]

Notes

• PopOS and Debian have different needs and repos, so are treated as different OS'
