This is my own "personal" fork for Ansible roles to setup Pop!_OS. This playbook is focused on quickly deploying a "ready to use" Pop!_OS machine. It installs a number of utilites that I use for homelab work, "dev" work and gaming. This is also where I learn and test out Git and GitHub features and tools. So if you see a lot of odd, pointless commits that would be why.

• Git
• Ansible 2+ (automatically installed from Ansible offical PPA with the provided install.sh script)

First, you need to install Git and Ansible :

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/W00glin/ansible-pop_os-desktop.git
$ cd ansible-pop_os-desktop
$ bash ./install.sh

Then you need to copy the group_vars/all.yml to group_vars/local.yml and customize the which role you need suits your needs. All roles are disabled by default. To customize the install, simply enable any of the boolean options in the all.yml file.

Now if you want to view what the ansible playbook is going to change prior to actually running the playbook you should run ansible-playbook ansible-desktop.yml --check. From the documentation -

Check mode is just a simulation. It will not generate output for tasks that use conditionals based on registered variables (results of prior tasks). However, it is great for validating configuration management playbooks that run on one node at a time

Run ansible-playbook ansible-desktop.yml --ask-become-pass and enter your sudo password to run the playbook

Optionaly you can run just some of the tags like: ansible-playbook ansible-desktop.yml --ask-become-pass --tags=common,locales

Tags are named the same as role dirs. If a role is in a sub dir then the tag for that specific role is sepparated with a colon like: aws:cli. But you can also use aws and that should install all the roles under the aws dir.

Do whatever you want. This is my fork. I don't plan on upstreaming any of my changes. If you like it, go ahead and fork it, or not. If you want to make changes, feel free to submit a PR.
