MacOS Monterrey Setup using Ansible

This is my personal Ansible configuration for setting up a DevOps Mac setup from scratch.

How to install & Pre-reqs

I created a simple shell script in scripts/prepare.sh which will perform the initial steps of automating. This also installs pre-requisites like Ansible.

Once pre-requisites are complete - you may install using scripts/apply.sh. This runs ansible-playbook -i "localhost," -c local ansible_mac.yml --ask-become-pass in the background installing all the tools with Ansible.

What am I installing

• Main tools are located in ansible_mac.yml

Tools to be installed:

• Zsh + Oh My Zsh as the primary shell
• Homebrew + all my default CLI tools (like kubectl, go CLI, awscli, azure CLI, trivy, terraform etc)
• Docker & Rancher Desktop
• VSCode + default plugins and configuration
• Asdf for version management: Golang, JS, Python

For Customisation

Everything can be customised by editing ansible_mac.yml
