Get my environment READY!!

I don't wanna spend a whole day setting up my development environment, get me my environment NOW!!

Usage

1. Install Ansible

2. Modify hosts.yml for the local or remote machine to be provisioned.

3. $ ansible-playbook -i hosts.yml playbooks/playbook.yml. Added -K if you are running locally and wish Ansible to prompt for sudo password.

4. Have a cup of coffee and enjoy the environment ;)

User configuration variables

• env_user: User-specific configurations will be installed to this user's home directory.
• env_has_x11: Whether the system has X11 enabled. This could affect several configurations.
• env_has_wayland: Whether the system has Wayland enabled. This could affect several configurations.
• python_versions: Required Python versions to be installed by pyenv. Default is 2.7.15 and 3.6.8.

Requirements on the target system

User

The user specified by env_user must exist.

SSH accessibility

Ansible must have the ability to access the target system through SSH. Both username/password and private key authentication work, but you have to change your hosts.yml accordingly.

Python

The target system must have Python installed (Python2 >= 2.6, Python3 >= 3.5). If the path of the Python interpreter is different from /usr/bin/python, setting the variable ansible_python_interpreter on hosts.yml to the interpreter's path, e.g:

  ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3.6

Privilege escalation

The target system must have sudo installed (For other options, see here).

If the ansible_user on the target system requires password to sudo, setting the variable ansible_become_pass to the password.

The other way to workaround this is to make the user run sudo without entering password. Modify the sudoers file (using visudo, etc.):

USERNAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
