Dotpiles

Thees are my dotfiles. Here is an overview:

Installing:

Run

./bootstrap/install-dotfiles.sh

to install and update dotfiles, however boot strapping is a more involved process. See procedure.sh for a series of notes on how to do this.

Structure

• configs: Any top level file or folder in configs is symlinked to ~/ and prefixed with a .. Any conflicts are moved to foo.bk if it is a file, or foo.symbk if its a symlink conflict. If you see conflict warnings, you should handle those sooner than later since the conflict management is backup destructive.
• ssh: SSH is a weird beast, since its so crucial to the boostrapping process and also contains vital secrets. We symlink files from inside ssh to inside ~/.ssh/ instead of the whole folder. We also update authorized_keys from github.

Brew file

Periodically dump a brew file:

cd ~/.dotfiles
brew bundle dump # dump whats installed
brew bundle cleanup # clean the brew file
brew bundle check # check the status

To install, run:

brew bundle

References

I did a few clever and simple bash things that I have found to be extremely bullet proof and simple. They have survived mostly over the course of like 4-5 installs, which is a personal record.

• .bashrc.d: fragment based bashrc files
• os_diff.sh: target specific platforms with bash

Unifi hostname fix

• ssh into USG
• remove the offending hostname from /etc/hosts with vi
• reload dsnmasq /etc/init.d/dnsmasq force-reload
