My ansible-based dotfiles for OSX Monterey

Hi there 👋

• I’m currently working on Daito, a web-based 2FA authenticator.
• My favorite tech-related past-time is messing with Jekyll on one of my websites.
• I collect useful snippets & scripts in my gists.

Aussagen über Jans Nettigkeit nicht hinreichend genug

Jan ist viel Netter als dargestellt.

Inject environment variables

See https://graspingtech.com/ansible-environment-variables/

The idea is to (finally) properly parameterize the playbook.

Add role for OSX softwareupdate

This is currently not yet covered in any of the roles: softwareupdate.

Review https://github.com/feffi/ansible-macos-softwareupdate/blob/master/tasks/configure.yml and similar and write a simple role that runs "softwareupdate --all --install --force" for you.

Add role for Hazel

Rework sublimetext role

Things that I don't like about it currently:

1. It's destructive: we delete the folder, then reinstall. Isn't there a nice way to uninstall and reinstall? Check what is installed? Clear cache?
2. If we are reinstalling user packages the setup is only complete once the app is started and all packages properly initialised (check View->View Console for Status). How to handle? Open via ansible role, wait for 10 secs, then close the app?

Add role for ruby & gems

E.g. to run "gem update --system"

Use FQCN for builtin actions

I ran ansible-lint and it gave me a ton of fqcn-builtins: Use FQCN for builtin actionsnotices.

Per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71562699/fqcn-builtins-use-fqcn-for-builtin-actions-in-ansible-playbookthese need to be fixed.

Add role for Firefox

Firefox is your main browser, you should have a role for it.

Req's:

1. Should support profiles, as you are using several of them in parallel.
2. Should support installing/updating FF extensions.
3. Should support setting some basic FF preferences, user.jsis the likely candidate here.

Add issue only for softwareupdates

Add a simplified maintenance role that only takes care of softwareupdates.

Add role for ssh

Figure out how you want to handle ssh. Research some more on github how others are doing this.

Ideas so far:

1. Zip .ssh, then encrypt with gpg, then upload to dotfiles. Keep password in password manger and ask for it during unzipping of the archive -> privacy-heavy, but uncomfortable
2. Figure out how to keep secrets in 1Password or similar (it has a CLI) and only keep non-critical data in dotfiles repo

Set hostname in terminal

Odd issue that I did not cover yet: the hostname is not set in terminal (but everywhere else). This results in me getting unknown hostnames assigned on public wifi (e.g. my box wa "sergei-desktop" today due to this).

Add role for vscode

Add role for uBlock Origin

It would be so great to automatically configure things like https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

Add role for pip

Add a role for the dock

Not a high priority, but it would make sense to have a simple role to manage the Dock.

Integrate privacy.sexy

Lots of good stuff you can use.
