# 🗃ī¸ dotfiles My personal software installation & configuration ![image](https://github.com/aminnairi/dotfiles/assets/18418459/9a3f32a0-76bb-4b67-bf8e-7a4db65e7589) ## â˜Ŗī¸ Disclaimer This is a repository that I keep public in order to ease out the installation of my different computers. The repository is not intended to be used as-is by many people, although special attention and care has been put in order to make it sensibly easy to be used by anyone wanting to try out this installation. Although the goal for any non-contributor is to get inspiration, not to use it as you daily driver. Nothing can stop you from doing it so feel free to do so and open issues, but I can't guarantee to be available to fix issues. ## đŸ”Ĩ Features - Gnome with Pipewire to get the maximum of our audio/video - `nvim` with a ton of plugins for web development & linux stuff - Tons of browsers (actually just 4 but this is something) like `chromium`, `google-chrome`, `opera` & `firefox` - `docker` enabled for the unprivileged user so commands don't need prefixing with `sudo` anymore - `tmux` for terminal multiplexing with automatic installation & update of plugins before starting `tmux` - `vifm` to manipulate your file system & `vicd` to change directory like a hacker in your terminal - Enhanced `ls` command with colors & icons just like in VSCode - Enhanced `cat` command with syntactic colorization of files just like in VSCode - Enhanced `rm` command so that it does not really remove the file permanently but put it in the trash can instead - Custom `privateinternetaccess` function that lets you choose a configuration from OpenVPN using `fzf` for starting a new `openvpn` tunnel quickly - Get the latest weather news right in your terminal with `wttr` - Support for both `intel` & `amd` architecture (pull requests welcome to add VirtualBox & VMware Guest Additions) - `ufw` enabled and ready to protect your personal life - Lots of programing language's interpreter & compiler installed (Python, Ruby, PHP, Julia, ...) ## 📖 Requirements - [Archlinux](https://archlinux.org/) - [GNU/Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) ## ⚙ī¸ Setup ### 👮 Create the user as administrator ```bash # Install the necessary dependencies pacman -S sudo fish git # Allow members of the group "sudo" to issue sudo commands sed -i 's/# %sudo/%sudo/g' /etc/sudoers # Add the "sudo" group groupadd sudo # Add the unprivileged user useradd --create-home --shell /bin/fish --groups sudo --uid 1000 user # Setup the password for the unprivileged user passwd user ``` ### 🧔 Installation as user ```bash # Clone the repository in the home folder git clone https://github.com/aminnairi/dotfiles ~/Documents/git/github.com/aminnairi/dotfiles # Change the current working directory to the source-code for the installation script cd ~/Documents/git/github.com/aminnairi/dotfiles # Apply the configuration bash main.sh ``` You can also feed the script with the path to an existing playbook if you don't want to be prompted to choose one. ```bash # Or by providing the path to an existing playbook directly bash main.sh ansible/amd-gnome.yml ``` ## 🐛 Error codes An error code is returned each time you run this script and an error occurred. In order to get the specific error code, you can use the `$?` variable in bash. ```bash echo $? ``` Refer to the list below to know what happened in order to take remediation action. Note that a friendly error message will also appear in case an error occurs, that way you don't have to manually check for these error codes. This is documented in case you want to include this script in a bigger program or system and you probably don't ever need to read the following if you are a end-user of this script. ### đŸĒ˛ 1 (ERROR_BECAUSE_ROOT) This error code is returned whenever you try to run this script as root. This script should only be run as the unprivileged user that has `sudo` access only. Morever, this script contains routines that needs to be run as a non-root, for instance, the installation of Arch User Repository packages. ### đŸĒ˛ 2 (ERROR_BECAUSE_NOT_ARCH_LINUX) This error code is returned whenever you try to run this script in an operating system that has no `pacman` executable installed. This script has been made specifically to install this configuration for Arch operating systems only. Feel free to fork this project and to update its source-code if you wish to support other operating systems as well. You are encouraged to propose pull requests as well. ### đŸĒ˛ 3 (ERROR_BECAUSE_TOO_MUCH_ARGUMENTS_PROVDED) This error code is returned whenever you try to call this script with too much arguments. Too much arguments means that you tried to pass more than one argument, since this script only take at most one argument which is the path to a playbook containing the wanted configuration. You can find the list of available configuration at the [`ansible`](./ansible) folder (every file that ends with a `*.yml` extension is a playbook). ### đŸĒ˛ 4 (ERROR_BECAUSE_ANSIBLE_INSTALLATION_FAILED) This error code is returned whenever you try to call this script and your operating system does not have the `ansible` package installed. If the installation of `ansible` has failed, this script will return the error, otherwise, it will simply continue with the installation. ### đŸĒ˛ 5 (ERRROR_BECAUSE_FUZZY_FILE_FINDER_INSTALLATION_FAILED) This error code is returned whenever you try to call this script and your operating system does not have the `fzf` package installed. If the installation of `fzf` has failed, this script will return the error, otherwise, it will simply continue with the installation. ### đŸĒ˛ 6 (ERROR_BECAUSE_PLAYBOOK_PATH_DOES_NOT_EXIST) This error code is returned whenever you try to call this script with an argument, which is the path to a playbook (configuration for the installation) you know you want to use. If the playbook's path choosen is not found, then you'll get an error. ## ℹī¸ Informations ### ✒ī¸ Neovim [Neovim](https://neovim.io/)'s plugins gets installed only when run. Try running `nvim` at least once per user `root` and the choosen unprivileged user. ### ✈ī¸ Tmux [Tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux)'s plugins get installed once it is run without argument. A Fish function gets triggered whenever `tmux` is run. If it has no argument, then plugins gets checked and installed. If it has arguments, plugins do not get installed nor checked. Please run at least once `tmux` in order to install the necessary plugins before using it. ### 🔐 SSH It's a good idea to backup your existing `~/.ssh/config` file before erasing the informations contained in a previous computer. Once the new computer is installed, don't forget to create a new SSH key using `ssh-keygen -t ed25519` and to propagate this key to the relevant services (servers, GitHub, GitLab, ...). ## ✨ Feature request, bug report & vulnerability report See [`issues`](./issues). ## 🙋 Code of conduct See [`CODE_OF_CONDUCT`](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). ## đŸ’Ē Contributing See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](./CONTRIBUTING.md). ## 📃 License See [`LICENSE`](./LICENSE). ## 🛡ī¸ Security See [`SECURITY.md`](./SECURITY.md).
