Linux Desktop Configuration

Configuration steps, scripts and tools i use on linux machines. Feel free to skip any steps that don't work for you or add steps if you think something is missing.

I assume you are setting up a physical machine by booting a DVD with the Ubuntu Server 64 bit ISO. If you are setting up a virtual machine either locally or in the cloud, see Cloud configuration

NOTE: *Nvidia drivers can cause you to get into a login loop. If this happens this thread might be helpful

Basic Install

Setting up your development environment

  1. Open a terminal console (press super key and type term) then run the following:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

# If Ubuntu is running in a VirtualBox VM
# Insert guess extensions here, install and restart

# install git
$ sudo apt install git

# install Docker
$ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common
$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
$ sudo usermod -aG docker seank
$ sudo docker run hello-world

# possibly install Docker Compose 
# find latest release version at https://github.com/docker/compose/releases and run the commands there with sudo
#$ sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.0-rc2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
#$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

# install VS Code
$ sudo snap install --classic code
$ sudo apt autoremove

# install Bro pages
$ sudo snap install ruby --classic
$ gem install bropages

$ mkdir ~/Development
$ code .bashrc & exit

  1. Install VSCode essential extensions

  2. Edit .bashrc to be something like the following

# don't run if not on host
