To build your develop environment gracefully.

• Master Machine

  • ansible (version >= 2.3)

• Slave Machine (Which you want to build your environment)

  • openssh-server
  • Master machine accessible

Of course, you can build environment in master machine locally.

git clone github.com/aweimeow/environment
cd environment

If there are many slave machines going to install, you can write in hosts file. Take a look at hosts or following is an example configuration.

# global vars, for all target machine
[all:vars]
ansible_connection=ssh
ansible_ssh_user=<your_username>
ansible_ssh_pass=<your_password>

# And put ip addresses at here.
[targets]
172.17.0.2

Slave machine (not include localhost) must access by private-key or password.

ansible-playbook main.yml -i hosts

We have 4 tags for different proposals: server, terminal, editor, desktop.

• server tag: Target machine is a server, without desktop environment, install setup_basic.yml, setup_terminal.yml and setup_editor.yml.
• terminal tag: Only install setup_terminal.yml, use it when you only need terminal customization.
• editor tag: Only install setup_editor.yml, use it when you only need editor(vim) customization.
• desktop tag: Only install setup_desktop.yml, if you want to install environment in brand new Ubuntu Desktop, do not specific any tag.

# When you specific 1 tag
ansible-playbook main.yml -i hosts --tags editor
# When you specific multiple tags
ansible-playbook main.yml -i hosts --tags terminal,editor

In this project, I split develop enviroment installation to 3 part.

1. Basic Installation
   • apt: variable in vars/server
2. Terminal Customization (Plugin like: powerline, syntax highlightin, ...)
   • git: variablein vars/terminal
3. Editor Configuration
   • editor installation step in tasks/setup_editor.yml

Besides, I use Ubuntu 14.04.5, and package manager on Ubuntu is apt, if you want modify to fit other operating system, you can find more info in Packaging Modules - Ansible.
