dotfiles/README.md

Prerequisites

• ansible: for installing the dofiles.
• git-crypt: for handling sensitive data in the repo (installed via ansible cookbook).
• gpg: for decrypting the key used by git-crypt (installed via ansible cookbook).

Installation

Steps:

1. Install ansible.
2. Create an SSH key with (e.g. with ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "$(whoami)@$(hostname)") and register it.
3. Add a preliminary ~/.ssh/config to reach git.schauenburg.me at the correct port.
4. Clone the repo.
5. Play the dotfiles.yml ansible playbook.
6. Decrypt key & initialize git-crypt to access sensitive data.

Cookbook:

sudo apt-get install ansible
echo -e "Host git.schauenburg.me\nUser git\nPort 587" >>~/.ssh/config
git clone git@git.schauenburg.me:fernando/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
cd $HOME/.dotfiles
ansible-playbook -i inventory dotfiles.yml
gpg -d --output - <(base64 -d .key) | git crypt unlock -
