dotfiles

intended use

This role is designed to manage linux hosts with the following roles. This role here basically only focuses on deploying some dotfiles, @DO1JLR decided they are needed at all hosts that are ansible managed. Other roles distribute ssh public keys, configure sshd, create users and manage sudo permissions or install a number of useful packages.

A list of suggested roles to manage your linux host:

• do1jlr.base install some useful packages
• do1jlr.users create user and manage sudoers
• do1jlr.auth deploy ssh pubkeys
• do1jlr.sshd configure sshd
• do1jlr.dotfiles (this one)

Good to know:

The listed roles use the same variables to create accounts, admins and so on. But the roles have to run in the correct order to work properly. For example you can't deploy a ssh public key for a user that is not created.

Get it directly from Ansible Galaxy

$ ansible-galaxy install do1jlr.dotfiles
