Linuxbrew (ctorgalson.linuxbrew)

This guide explains how to manually install Linuxbrew, brew packages, and taps on Ubuntu/Debian and Fedora, ensuring no scripts are piped directly to sh.

The role can be used in a playbook that runs with become: true, so it needs the name of a non-root user to run brew commands safely. For installing dependencies with apt, it uses become to gain higher privileges. It should work regardless of the ansible_user, as long as the {{ lb__owner }} user exists.

Thanks to markosamuli for their excellent Linuxbrew role, which inspired this one (although I may have made some mistakes).

Tasks

The role has three task files:

main.yml

This file:

  • Checks if brew is already installed.
  • Includes install.yml if brew is not installed.
  • Includes packages.yml if the lb__packages variable isn't empty, or if either lb__update_homebrew_when_installing_packages or lb__upgrade_all_when_installing_packages is true.
  • Includes additional shell configuration tasks from lb__shell_configuration_tasks.

install.yml

This file:

  • Installs dependencies with apt.
  • Creates necessary Linuxbrew directories.
  • Clones the main and core Homebrew repositories.
  • Links the brew binary.
  • Installs the portable-ruby package.

packages.yml

This file:

  • Updates brew if lb__update_homebrew_when_installing_packages is true.
  • Updates all brew packages if lb__upgrade_all_when_installing_packages is true.
  • Installs any packages listed in lb__packages.
  • Installs any taps listed in lb__taps.

Requirements

No special requirements needed.
