# About

Provisioning for my working station using Ansible.

## Know limitations

* kernel 5.8 + systemd 245 causes issues with checking services states,

  so ensure not to use kernel hwe-edge on focal.fossa - see

  [this](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71528#issuecomment-687620030)

* some stuff works better as sudo, such as

  `sudo ansible-playbook -v -i inventory.yml desktop.yml`

* to see htlm reports without errors in jenkins then see [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/46197356/3163492)

## Requirements

To run locally:

* [vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/)

* linux host with qemu-kvm to spawn virtual machine (virtualbox/windows not tested)

* working [vagrant-libvirt](https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt)

Above can be invoked under Ubuntu 20.04 via:

```bash

sudo apt install -y qemu-kvm libvirt vagrant vagrant-libvirt

```

* access to internet to download dependencies

* run `vagrant up`

* full run should take about 20 minutes (installing desktop on server)

* run from host `scripts/test_in_vagrant.sh` to fetch also `ara` reports

* after run you can exec `scripts/ara.sh` to see ansible runs results via

  web if you have ara installed on host

* re-run `scripts/test_in_vagrant.sh` and hit refresh in ara web

## Demo

[![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/249326.svg)](https://asciinema.org/a/249326)

After starting ara script you are presented with url to [localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)

which shows ara web server, example image below.

## TODO

* drop Centos

* set timezone to Etc/UTC

* rename roles so that they conform with ansible-linter etc

* ci: linters output to html

* guest: in-shell apt settings (retries)

* guest: ansible task retries for package installs

* guest: dnsmasq

* guest: smartgit

* guest: system reboot if required?

* sudo apt  install awscli

```bash

curl -o aws-iam-authenticator https://amazon-eks.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.18.9/2020-11-02/bin/linux/amd64/aws-iam-authenticator

```

* containers/snaps/tools:

  + authy

  + backintime + config

  + dive

  + gimp

  + kaniko

  + kind

  + p7zip-desktop

  + skopeo

  + xnview

## Do not do

Notes to self:

* vagrant storage pools with primary disk are pain,

  this is vagrant-libvirt limitation

* jenkinsfile dynamic detection of nproc on jenkins worker,

  you will meet CPS/NonCPS chicken-egg errors

## Tips

* get local facts `ansible  -m setup  -i inventory.yml localhost`
