This is an effort to provide scripts to setup my workstation in an automated, reproducible way.
This is not a fancy project. We are installing a cron job in a system user which will be executed periodically and apply the expected state in our system.
This is done briefly by
- preparing the system This is done by one-time bash script setting up users and necessary software.
- initialising the admin user for one time only
- scheduled execution using crontab entries
- Debian systems
- System settings (e.g. locale, timezone etc)
- Software installation including external keys and repositores
- apt, snap & pip
- Unattended upgrades
- dot files based on jinja2 templates
- multiple users supported
- Ubuntu 20.04 Developed and tested against it.
Under scripts folder, we have some scripts to helps us with some tasks, such as installing
python, ansible etc.
- one-time-debian.sh Installs the basic software (ansible, python etc) and creates the admin user.
- scheduled-debian.sh It just executes the v playbook which takes care of everything.
Under ansible folder we have the playbooks that will run periodically.
