modFoss Devel

modfoss_devel is a bootstraping system to turn a Debian 10 machine into a development server. It sets up a basic puppet installation to manage packages and shell accounts, and installs docker.

It was created as part of the blog post Creating my development environment

Bootstraping a devel environment

To setup a development environment from a root shell on a fresh Debian 10 installation, run the following.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/symkat/modfoss_devel/master/install.sh \
    | bash -s - yourhost.com

Once this script completes, you will need to cd modfoss_devel and edit the file common.yaml. Pay particular attention to the lines with ! marks in them. You should replace the symkat username with whichever username you use and update the SSH keys with your own public keys.

accounts::user_list:
!  symkat:
    groups:
      - sudo
      - docker
    sshkeys:
!      - ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nzas....== symkat@laptop
!      - ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nsdf....== symkat@desktop

After this, complete the installation by running ./puppet-first-run.sh

If you add more users to common.yaml or extend init.pp in the future, you can run the puppet module again with puppet apply -e "include modfoss_devel".
