Why Ansible ?

Modularity: Roles as modules.
Factorization: It uses jinja2 templating engine.
Simplicity: No agent, only SSH, available via pip.
Flexibility: Push your dotfiles from/to any hosts.
Toolbox: Dry-run mode, diff mode, secrets encryption, tags...

How to

Use carefully, backup your home before using !
You should use --check and --diff to dryrun first.

Check details in roles/*/README.md.

1. Fork Me!

2. Clone your repo

Use recursive mode to get aur ansible module for Archlinux.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/*/dotfiles

Then, configure desktop environment in group_vars/all.yml.

3. Configure inventory

Create inventory file from template.

cd dotfiles
cp hosts.template hosts

Add your hostnames in section:

cli: install only cli tools
desktop: install cli tools + desktop environment

Define which user will get configurations with ansible_user var.

desktop hosts can't use root.

a. localhost run

Let's use a trick to let ansible think that there is 2 different hosts.
It will configure root with cli tools only and user with desktop environment. That trick needs -K without -b when running playbook.

[cli]
cli_user ansible_connection=local ansible_user=root
[desktop]
desktop ansible_connection=local ansible_user=user

b. multiple hosts run

[cli]
server1 ansible_user=root
[desktop]
host1 ansible_user=user
host2 ansible_user=user2

4. Configure SSH

Push your SSH public key on all your users@hosts

ssh-copy-id -i path/to/ssh/key.pub user@host

5. (Dry)Run

ansible-playbook install.yml -CD
ansible-playbook install.yml

To configure cli tools for root on desktop hosts:
Note: ansible_user needs to be sudoers.

ansible-playbook install.yml -b -K -l desktop
