Usage

First steps

• Set up SSH key in Github, this'll make clone repos much less hassle in the long run

https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/#platform-linux

Ubuntu

wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michaelstone/local-setup/master/ubuntu-bootstrap.sh && chmod 744 ubuntu-bootstrap.sh && ./ubuntu-bootstrap.sh

Windows

1. Enable WSL

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

2. Run provisioning script

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michaelstone/local-setup/master/windows-bootstrap.ps1 -OutFile windows-bootstrap.ps1; Start-Process powershell -Verb runAs "-NoExit -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command cd $pwd; & .\windows-bootstrap.ps1"

#. Run ansible independently

ansible-playbook windows_master.yml -i HOSTS_WINDOWS.yml --vault-id @prompt

Notes:

• Had to separate out ubuntu and windows master files due to create two localhost hosts
• Had to create a local administrator account to run the winrm session against

Things to add

• Chrome

Fix

• nvm
  • fix creates directory using ansible_user_id
  • split task to create alias for default node version
  • fix env variable for accessing nvm
• npm
  • install latest version of npm instead of node bundled
• node
  • dynamically get the latest version instead of using default var

Next tasks

• Update windows bootstrap to run ansible
• Update windows playbook to run role to also install/update ubuntu

Troubleshooting

• Npm install fails, try this:
  • ansible/ansible-modules-extras#2128
  • node isn't available when run as sudo - sudo doesn't load ~/profile
  • create symlink to node binary in nvm dir before running npm tasks
  • What worked: I was running ansible-playbook as sudo, left that off and set individual tasks as sudo using become and passing in -K
• Error running ansible: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock
  • Fix 1: look for other apt or apt-get processes and kill them
  • Fix 2: delete the lock files
    • sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
    • sudo dpkg --configure -a
