toolbox

A collection of tools, configuration files, notes, and scripts.

Used to manage development environment(s) and tools across hardware, operating systems, containers, and virtual machines.

Usage

On a fresh machine, clone the repo and run the install.sh script to configure the local environment. The script is a thin wrapper around an ansible playbook that targets localhost.

Note

Probably don't run the install script directly, it does a lot of things.

While this was all tested against a macos host, most often I run some set of the ansible roles against a virtual machine or docker container remotely via ssh.

Devbox - multipass VM

The devbox-playbook.yml file creates or starts a multipass VM and runs the ansible playbook on it. This has only been tested on multipass running on a macos host.

Ansible Roles

base

• Install and configure powerlevel10k for prompt styling.

fzf:

• Install fzf from git repository.

dotfiles:

• Symlink shell configuration files in config_files/ to $HOME.

Important

The .zshrc configuration defines a keybinding override to use ^ff instead of ^t to trigger fzf from the command line.

multipass:

• Create or start a multipass VM and add it to the inventory.

docker:

• Install docker and add the current user to the docker group.
