dotfiles

My configuration files and scripts for a Neovim/LazyVim integrated development environment in a docker container (fedora).

• Clipboard solution relying on OSC52
  • neovim clipboard-osc52 documentation
• UI solution based on X11, mainly used for browser preview using xdg-open under the hood
• Install and configure everything as a non-root user
• Docker in Docker (dnd)
• Tested on macOS Sonoma

Requirements

• Docker
• Kitty (or any OSC52 compliant terminal)
  • OSC52 supported terminal list
• xQuartz (or any X11 server)

SSH

Create your ssh keys

felix@macos ~ % ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
felix@macos ~ % ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Test your github access

felix@macos ~ % ssh -T git@github.com
Hi sysadmin4j! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

Make sure the ssh-agent is used

felix@macos ~ % ssh-add -l
256 SHA256:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX your_email@example.com (ED25519)

• Github documentation - Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent

Git

Setting up the git config ~/.gitconfig, creating the IDE_WORKSPACE folder, and cloning the dotfiles repository

felix@macos ~ % git config --global user.name "Mona Lisa"
felix@macos ~ % git config --global user.email USERNAME@users.noreply.github.com
felix@macos ~ % mkdir Repos
felix@macos ~ % cd Repos
felix@macos Repos % git clone git@github.com:sysadmin4j/dotfiles.git
felix@macos Repos % cd dotfiles
felix@macos dotfiles % git status

• Github documentation - Setting your username in Git
• Github documentation - Setting your commit email address

GPG

Nerd Fonts

Install the fonts MesloLGL Nerd Font Mono in the macOS user Library folder

felix@macos dotfiles % ./scripts/install-nerd-fonts.sh

The script test-fonts.sh can be usefull to test your fonts installation in the ide container we will use later on

Kitty

Apply the Kitty configuration ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf as well as the startup session configuration ~/.config/kitty/startup.session on the masOS host

felix@macos dotfiles % ./scripts/apply-kitty-config.sh

Make sure the Nerd font is available for kitty

felix@macos ~ % kitty +list-fonts | grep "MesloLGL Nerd Font Mono"

Zsh

The following script will create the folder ~/.local/state/zsh used to share the .zsh_history file and copy the .zshrc.macos to ~/.zshrc on the macOS host

felix@macos dotfiles % ./scripts/apply-zsh-config.sh

Neovim/LazyVim (within docker)

Installation

The following script will simply copy the script ./scripts/docker-run-ide.sh to ~/.local/bin/ide on the macOS host so you can use the ide command

felix@macos dotfiles % ./scripts/install-ide.sh

Note: You can also use the install-ide alias

Build

Don't forget to rebuild the ide docker image to apply Neovim configuration changes

felix@macos dotfiles % ./scripts/docker-build-ide.sh

Note: You can also use the build-ide alias

ENV	Default value (in ./scripts/docker-build-ide.sh)	Description
IDE_USERNAME	felix	username of the docker image non-root user
IDE_GROUPNAME	staff	groupname of the docker image non-root user
IDE_UID	501	uid of the docker image non-root user, must match the uid of the user running the ide command on the docker host
IDE_GID	20	gid of the docker image non-root user, must match the primary gid of the user running the ide command on the docker host
IDE_HOME_DIR	/Users/${IDE_USERNAME}	home directory of the docker image non-root user, must match the your $HOME folder of the user runnung the ide command on the docker host

Configuration

To find the loaded LazyVim configuration within neovim

<Leader>fc

To reload the current lua configuration within neovim

:source %

See the config files:

• ~/.config/nvim/lua/config/options.lua

Expose a service, example the dev port 3000

For docker-desktop on macOS make sure the Enable host networking option is enable

Usage

ENV	Default value (in ./scripts/docker-run-ide.sh)	Description
IDE_IMAGE_NAME	ide	image name to use
IDE_IMAGE_VERISON	latest	image version to use
IDE_X11	false	start a x11 session, used mainly for browser preview <Leader>cp
IDE_DEBUG	false	print debug messages at the console
IDE_WORKSPACE	${HOME}/Repos	your workspace directory, the location of your git repositories

The following command will start a shell in the ide container.

without X11 (default)

ide

with X11

export IDE_X11=true; ide
