daveyb's Ansible Playbook

This is my personal (and always a WIP, beware the monsters) Ansible playbook for setting up and enforcing a consistent config on my computers.

Out-of-the-box, the plays will run on localhost, but it can be configured to run on remote *nix machines as well.

It's designed to init new dotfiles as needed, so be aware that it may clobber existing dotfiles you already have.

Usage

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.5+ and pip3
2. A user account that's a member of the sudoers group adduser <user> sudo
3. Ansible pip3 install ansible
4. An internet connection

Clone

git clone https://github.com/daveyb/ansible.git ~/ansible && cd ~/ansible

Easy Mac Day1 setup (tested on 13.3 Ventura)

1. python3 -m pip install ansible
2. Add the output of dirname $(which pip) to your PATH
