Build Manjaro Linux dev environment with i3wm, dev tools, messengers etc.

Manjaro Linux system preparation

Goal

The goal of these Ansible playbooks is to build development environment from Manjaro XFCE Minimal Linux distributive on my laptop MSI GE-70 2PC.

Prerequisites

• Installed Manjaro Linux XFCE

• Configured internet connection

• User with sudo access

• Pre-configured Ansible inventory hosts.yml file

Install development environment with Ansible

Bootstrap script

Use bootstrap.sh to prepare local ansible environment.

The bootstrap script will perform the following steps:

• Enable SSH service

• Install latest updates

• Install git, ansible, ansible-lint, yamllint, vim and yay (AUR package manager)

• Creates directory ~/projects and clone this repo as ~/projects/manjaro-sysprep

• Change current directory to ~/projects/manjaro-sysprep

• Execute init make target

Execute bootstrap script:

source <(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alxzoomer/manjaro-sysprep/master/bootstrap.sh)

Create hosts.yml

Create hosts.yml file from hosts-example.yml:

cp hosts-example.yml hosts.yml

Edit the hosts.yml and update the following options:

• ansible_user - set user name that will be main user in the system.

• shadowsocks_config settings if you want to configure shadowsocks socks 5 local proxy.

• tigervnc_vncpass - access password for TigerVNC service

• i3lock_image_size - to have correct walpaper and lock screen image size

• i3_swap_l_alt_l_super - set true if left Alt must be swapped with Win key. For my laptop it is preferred option because Win button placed right after Space button.

• i3wm_bar - set to polybar to have polybar bars instead of i3status. See more options inside playbooks/roles/i3wm/defaults/main.yml and Polybar wiki for modules configuration (at least battery, network).

Run playbook

To show makefile help with all possible options run command:

make help

Run all target will execute most important playbooks:

make all

OS X specific

Installing sshpass with brew

sshpass used to run Ansible playbook deploy-ssh-keys. Use unofficial brew package:

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kadwanev/bigboybrew/master/Library/Formula/sshpass.rb
