Common

Common user settings and tools used by Jannik Beyerstedt. This role is compatible with Debian based systems and macOS.

Requirements

none

Role Variables

This role uses the apt package manager on Debian based hosts. But for some operating systems the ansible_os_family variable is not set to "Debian" by the fact gathering even if it is Debian based (like Mendel GNU/Linux on the Google Coral Dev Board).

  • override_os_family: Set to "Debian" in the host inventory, if ansible_os_family is not set correctly

The User Setup will change the user shell and global gitconfig. This can be disabled:

  • usersetup_chsh: Boolean to disable changing the user shell to zsh
  • usersetup_gitconfig: Boolean to disable overriding the global gitconfig

For a GUI/ Desktop machine, you can enable to install and configure VS Code:

  • user_vscode: Boolean to install and set the basic configuration of VS Code
  • user_lang_cpp: Boolean to install C/C++ dev tools and configure VS Code
  • user_lang_python: Boolean to install Python dev tools and configure VS Code
  • user_lang_golang: Boolean to install Golang dev tools and configure VS Code

The user_lang_* switches will also install the language only, if user_vscode is set to false.

To install just the dotfiles, set common_settingsonly to true.

Dependencies

none
