README

This is my mac; there are many like it, but this one is mine.

  1. Install XCode developer tools:

    xcode-select --install || echo "xcode-select has been installed already, probably."
# then hit install on the GUI popup

  2. Get bootstrapped:

    curl --location --fail --show-error --silent https://github.com/petemounce/workstation/archive/refs/heads/master.zip --output "workstation-master.zip"
unzip -d "." "workstation-master.zip"
cd workstation-master
bash bin/bootstrap.sh
[[ -d ".venv" ]] && source ".venv/bin/activate"
bash bin/run.sh --list-tasks

  3. To avoid needing to use --ask-become-pass and typing your user's password on every run-through:

    https://jpmens.net/2021/12/17/ansible-vault-password-in-macos-keychain/

    1. Make an ansible vault password inside macOS keychain to avoid needing to type your account password every run-through:

      security add-generic-password -a "${USER}" -j "ansible-vault password for workstation repo" -s "workstation" -w

      ... and supply a password then confirm it.

    2. Make an ansible-vault encrypted file with your user account's password in it, like:

      ansible-vault create "secrets.yml"

      ... with content:

      ansible_become_password: 'your password'
brew_password: 'brew user's password' # Choose something easy to type...
github_token:
  personal: ''
  work: ''

  4. Download an XCode xip (because download.developer.apple.com requires authentication):

    1. Set vars/Darwin.yml xcode_version if needed.

    2. Browse to https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=xcode

    3. Sign in with an Apple ID.

    4. Download the version you want.

    5. Move it to where ansible will look for it:

      mkdir -p "${HOME}/.cache/xcode-installers"
mv "${HOME}/Download/Xcode_{xcode_version}.xip" "${HOME}/.cache/xcode-installers/Xcode_{xcode_version}.xip"

  5. If you're happy with that set of tasks and have read what they do:

    bin/run.sh

    You can pass flags and arguments to bin/run.sh and ansible-playbook will receive them.
