@MarauderXtreme local_system

This is a "small" ansible role to help me, set up my local system and make it configurable.

There are some configs and files baked (a.k.a hard-coded) into this role that I consider useful. Please use this at your own discretion. It is currently used for a KDE Neon system but should be usable against any debian-based system and easily adoptable for other distributions.

Requirements

There is a chicken'n'egg flaw in the role. The role prepares the system with become: yes but only in those tasks writes sudoers with NOPASSWD:. You should prevent errors by editing sudoers or copying sudoers to /etc/sudoers.

Role Variables

For all variables there are a defaults/main/* defined. All variables are prefixed with the role name local_system to prevent overlaps in naming. With overriding them in group or host vars it's possible to define own setups.
