My personal dotfiles for my laptop: Kubuntu 22.04.1

CI License

This project contains the dotfiles and custom shell scripts that I use on my workstations.

Why keep them at GitHub? It’s a way to share advanced shell tips with other developers, and more practically, a way to back up my configuration. I was tired of having a bunch of configurations across all my machines, especially when trying to keep all up to date. So I got fed up and threw them on GitHub. It's not perfect (yet!), but it's a great starting point for any Linux config.

Introduction

Each folder is named after a package and contains every configuration file used by that application. Besides some noted exceptions, the files inside the folders are relative to home (e.g. the file vim/.vimrc goes to ~/.vimrc).

Every section here explains which settings and (if any) workarounds/fixes are used to obtain the described result.

For further reference, read carefully every section in this file, and copy only the configuration files relative to the parts you are trying to setup.

If none of these helped, feel free to open an issue here. Include your distro informations and the configuration values you are trying.

Handy scripts

These scripts will be installed to ~/bin and added to your $PATH:

Script Description
fs-cryptmount.sh Mounts a encFS filesystem where I keep personal data.
myip.sh An script to obtain my real IP.

Applications

Backup tool

My personal backup solution for my $HOME folder (to local and external HD)

  • Uses rsync to keep snapshots of your $HOME folder to a local folder or external HD.
  • You can configure the list of files & folders to exclude from the backup. See ~/.excludes_from_backup.
  • You can configure your destination folders. See DESTINATION variable in the scripts.
Script Description
daily.sh Do a daily backup (scheduled in the crontab) into a local folder. See DESTINATION.
weekly.sh Do a weekly backup (scheduled in the crontab) of the latest folder create by daily.sh into a local folder. See DESTINATION.
make_snapshot.sh Creates the snapshoot of the source folder and keep three older copies (rotated on each backup)
do_backup.sh Do the backup to remote (mounted disk) using make_snapshot.sh. See DESTINATION.

DNS Over TLS using systemd

I've configured my workstation to use DNS Over TLS without any dependency, just systemd. It uses the AdGuard DNS, a reliable way to block ads on the Internet.

The installation allows you to configure it without any effort and a script to enable/disable it is provided. In order to connect to WiFi with captive portals you should disable DNS Over TLS first.

Script Description
DNS_Over_TLS.sh Enable/disable DNS-Over-TLS.

Installation

Choose a place to store the dotfiles, like ~/.dotfiles.

git clone https://github.com/pacoorozco/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install.sh
