# Mac Collection for Ansible

[![Apache-2.0 licensed][badge-license]][link-license]
[![Galaxy Collection][badge-collection]][link-galaxy]
[![CI][badge-gh-actions]][link-gh-actions]

This collection includes helpful Ansible roles and content to help with macOS automation. For a good example of the collection's usage, see the [Mac Dev Playbook](https://github.com/buluma/mac-dev-playbook).

Roles included in this collection (click on the link to see the role's README and documentation):

- `buluma.mac.homebrew` ([documentation](https://github.com/buluma/ansible-collection-mac/blob/master/roles/homebrew/README.md))
- `buluma.mac.mas` ([documentation](https://github.com/buluma/ansible-collection-mac/blob/master/roles/mas/README.md))
- `buluma.mac.dock` ([documentation](https://github.com/buluma/ansible-collection-mac/blob/master/roles/dock/README.md))

## Installation

Install via Ansible Galaxy:

```
ansible-galaxy collection install buluma.mac
```

Or include this collection in your playbook's `requirements.yml` file:

```
---
collections:
- name: buluma.mac
```

For a real-world example, see my [Mac Dev Playbook's requirements file](https://github.com/buluma/mac-dev-playbook/blob/master/requirements.yml).

### Role Requirements

Requires separate installation of the `elliotweiser.osx-command-line-tools` role. Because Ansible collections are not able to depend on roles, you will need to make sure that role is installed either by manually installing it with the `ansible-galaxy` command, or adding it under the `roles` section of your `requirements.yml` file:

```yaml
---
roles:
- name: elliotweiser.osx-command-line-tools

collections:
- name: buluma.mac
```

## Usage

Here's an example playbook which installs some Mac Apps (assuming you are signed into the App Store), CLI tools via Homebrew, and Cask Apps using Homebrew:

```yaml
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: false

vars:
mas_installed_app_ids:
- 424389933 # Final Cut Pro
- 497799835 # Xcode

homebrew_installed_packages:
- node
- nvm
- redis
- ssh-copy-id
- pv

homebrew_cask_apps:
- docker
- firefox
- google-chrome
- vlc

roles:
- buluma.mac.homebrew
- buluma.mac.mas
```

For a real-world usage example, see my [Mac Dev Playbook](https://github.com/buluma/mac-dev-playbook).

See the full documentation for each role in the role's README, linked above.
