Pajuna Playbook

My Ubuntu LTS workstation management Ansible playbook.

Makes use of Ansible and the Pajuna Ansible roles.

TL;DR

• Run curl -Ls http://pajuna.it | bash
• Edit ~/.ansible/playbook/site.yml and add some roles
• Edit ~/.ansible/playbook/settings.yml and add a bunch of info.
• Start an ssh-agent
  • eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
• add your ssh key to the agent
  • ssh-add
• run pajuna -K

$ pajuna -K

What is Pajuna

A collection of Ansible based repos for lowering the time it takes to be productive again when you are starting with a new Ubuntu LTS Workstation. This includes remastering the Ubuntu installer iso through to installing and managing development tools, dotfiles and more.

The goals of this project

• lower the time it takes to be productive again when you are starting with a new workstation
• to be of minimal hindrance to keep it up to date
• not rely on any bespoke software that is at risk of becoming abandonware
• Waiting for your contribution upstream shouldn't slow you down

Directory layout

The following directories are used

• ~/.ansible
  • This is a clone of YOUR version of pajuna/mystation
• ~/.ansible/roles
  • This is where private roles belong.
  • These roles take precedence over all others.
• ~/.pajuna/myfork
  • Your FORK of pajuna/Ubuntu-LTS
  • This IS to be edited by you)
  • Send PR's from this to upstream
• ~/.pajuna/upstream
  • Upstream clone of pajuna/Ubuntu-LTS
  • This is not to be edited by you)
• ~/.dotfiles
  • Self explanitory but the Pajuna roles all assume your dotfiles is a git directory
• ~/.vim
  • Self explanitory but the Pajuna roles assume your .vim directory is a git directory

Ansible will look for roles in the following places, in order:

• ~/.ansible/roles
• ~/.pajuna/myfork
• ~/.pajuna/upstream

If you want to make a change to a role in the Pajuna Ubuntu LTS repo then fork it, clone into ~/.pajuna/myfork and hack on in in a branch and submit a PR to upstream.

Getting Started

With a clean fresh minimal install of Ubuntu LTS the following bootstrap script is all you need to get up and running with Pajuna.

curl -Ls http://pajuna.it/ | bash

This bootstrap script will:

add the Ansible PPA
install Ansible from PPA
git clone https://github.com/pajuna/mystation.git ~/.ansible
git clone https://github.com/pajuna/Ubuntu-LTS.git ~/.pajuna/upstream

• Edit playbook/site.yml and add some roles
• Edit playbook/settings.yml and add a bunch of info.
• Start an ssh-agent
  • eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
• add your ssh key to the agent
  • ssh-add
• run pajuna -K

$ pajuna -K

Each role in pajuna/Ubuntu-LTS that exposes any settings should have both a defaults/main.yml and a README.md with some info about what you need in your settings.yml

NOTE You can create yourself an automated Ubuntu installer using the Pajuna automated iso generator
