archlinux-petert

Basic Install and configuration of my preferred environment for ArchLinux, this was heavily inspired and stolen from TechDufus's version.

Pre-requist

Make sure you have the vault secret in place

Place the file ~/.ansible-vault/vault.secret in the vault folder in the home directory, before you run the playbook.

vim ~/.ansible-vault/vault.secret

Install

Notes

• Neovim install is the base binary, the configuration of Neovim is pulled from my personal repo: https://github.com/ptsiampas/kickstart.nvim

This playbook uses a custom script in the bin/dotfiles. This script is added to your $PATH after installation and can be run multiple times.

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ptsiampas/archlinux-petert/main/bin/dotfiles)"

If you want to run only a specific role, you can specify the following bash command:

curl -fsSL  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ptsiampas/archlinux-petert/main/bin/dotfiles | bash -s -- --tags comma,seperated,tags

Update

This repository is continuously updated with new features and settings which become available to you when updating.

To update your environment run the dotfiles command in your shell:

dotfiles

Encrypted Vault

How to encrypt a file with Ansible Vault.

For an advanced version using looped values, look at the ssh main.yml and all.yml within this repo.

cat myfile.conf | ansible-vault encrypt_string --vault-password-file $HOME/.ansible-vault/vault.secret --stdin-name "myfile.conf"

Copy and paste the output of the above command into all.yml.

How to use within a role.
