# .dotfiles

All configuration is managed via [ansible](https://www.ansible.com).

This is slightly more challenging compared to our old

[GNU Stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/) approach as each file,

directory, symlink, and template needs to be managed manually instead of just

letting stow create a bunch of symbolic links but it allows greater control

and ease-of-use for managing differences across systems and dealing with

secrets.

Get up and running by either cloning this repository and running, `run.bash`,

or all-in-one:

```shell

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://mfgo.link/dotfiles)"

```

**N.B.** if you're intending to run the dotfiles on a remote server you need

to forward your ssh agent with the public keys that you intend to write out

unlocked (`ssh-add ~/.ssh/key`).

The initial installation will install the dotfiles into `$HOME/.dotfiles` and

afterwards everything can be updated with `git pull` and `./run.bash`.

## vault

Sensitive files are encrypted with ansible-vault. The vault password was

initialized like so:

```shell

pwgen -cnsy 128 1 | gpg -ear 36FDA306 > vault.asc

```

The work-secret password was initialized like so:

```shell

pwgen -cnsy 128 1 | gpg -ear 36FDA306 -r 4DA7BCBA > work.asc

```

**N.B.** that to view encrypted variables (as opposed to full files) you will

need to have the [yq](https://github.com/mikefarah/yq) utility installed.
