ansible-role-homebrew
Ansible Role: Homebrew
Installs Homebrew on macOS, and configures packages, taps, and cask apps according to supplied variables.
Requirements
None.
Role Variables
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml
):
homebrew_repo: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew
The GitHub repository for Homebrew core.
homebrew_prefix: /usr/local
homebrew_install_path: "{{ homebrew_prefix }}/Homebrew"
The path where Homebrew will be installed (homebrew_prefix
is the parent directory). It is recommended you stick to the default, otherwise Homebrew might have some weird issues. If you change this variable, you should also manually create a symlink back to /usr/local so things work as Homebrew expects.
homebrew_brew_bin_path: /usr/local/bin
The path where brew
will be installed.
homebrew_installed_packages:
- ssh-copy-id
- pv
- { name: vim, install_options: "with-luajit,override-system-vi" }
Packages you would like to make sure are installed via brew install
. You can optionally add flags to the install by setting an install_options
property, and if used, you need to explicitly set the name
for the package as well.
homebrew_uninstalled_packages: []
Packages you would like to make sure are uninstalled.
homebrew_upgrade_all_packages: no
Whether to upgrade homebrew and all packages installed by homebrew. If you prefer to manually update packages via brew
commands, leave this set to no
.
homebrew_taps:
- caskroom/cask
Taps you would like to make sure Homebrew has tapped.
homebrew_cask_apps:
- firefox
Apps you would like to have installed via cask
. Search for popular apps on http://caskroom.io/ to see if they're available for install via Cask. Cask will not be used if it is not included in the list of taps in the homebrew_taps
variable.
homebrew_cask_appdir: /Applications
Directory where applications installed via cask
should be installed.
homebrew_use_brewfile: true
Whether to install via a Brewfile. If so, you will need to install the homebrew/bundle
tap, which could be done within homebrew_taps
.
homebrew_brewfile_dir: '~'
The directory where your Brewfile is located.
