Mac Development Ansible Playbook

Inspired on https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

This is a work in progress, and is mostly a means for me to document my current Mac's setup. I'll be evolving this set of playbooks over time.

Installation

Ensure Apple's command line tools are installed (xcode-select --install to launch the installer).
Install Ansible.
Clone this repository to your local drive.
Run $ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml inside this directory to install required Ansible roles.
Run ansible-playbook main.yml -i inventory -K inside this directory. Enter your account password when prompted.

##MOSTLY OLD DOCS BELOW

Note: If some Homebrew commands fail, you might need to agree to Xcode's license or fix some other Brew issue. Run brew doctor to see if this is the case.

Running a specific set of tagged tasks

You can filter which part of the provisioning process to run by specifying a set of tags using ansible-playbook's --tags flag. The tags available are dotfiles, homebrew, mas, extra-packages and osx.

ansible-playbook main.yml -i inventory -K --tags "dotfiles,homebrew"

Overriding Defaults

Included Applications / Configuration (Default)

Applications (installed with Homebrew Cask): ##TODO

Packages (installed with Homebrew):

My dotfiles are also installed into the current user's home directory, including the .osx dotfile for configuring many aspects of macOS for better performance and ease of use. You can disable dotfiles management by setting configure_dotfiles: no in your configuration.

Finally, there are a few other preferences and settings added on for various apps and services.

Future additions

Testing the Playbook

Additionally, this project is continuously tested on Travis CI's macOS infrastructure.
