# macos-config-playbook
[](https://travis-ci.org/pegasd/macos-config-playbook)
## Installation
Pre-requisites:
- Xcode Command-Line Tools:
```bash
xcode-select --install
```
- homebrew
```bash
# Looks scary, but does the job
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
```
- ansible
```bash
brew install ansible
```
- sudoers with `NOPASSWD: ALL` (some of the tasks require `become: yes` and will fail if sudo asks for a password).
```diff
- %admin ALL = (ALL) ALL
+ %admin ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
```
## Running
To run the playbook:
```bash
ansible-playbook main.yaml
```
### dotfiles
This is configured to install and update the [following dotfiles repository](https://github.com/pegasd/dotfiles).
### defaults
Most of the `defaults` configuration is done through `tasks/osx_defaults.yaml`.
Unfortunately, Ansible is lacking `dict` and `dict-add` support (despite a well done [PR](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/24028)) in its `osx_defaults` module, so there are a couple of scripts that can be run manually:
```bash
files/other_defaults
files/spotlight
```
**files/other_defaults**
- Custom keyboard shortcuts require `dict-add`.
- Screenshot location (it has `~` in it) is expanded at runtime and is not idempotent.
**files/spotlight**
- Spotlight configuration removes all volumes but `/` from indexing configuration and re-builds index on `/`.
- I don't recommend running this often.
## Issues
This might be a Mojave Beta-only issue, but `defaults write` treats all passed values as strings (whether they should be booleans,
integers, or floats) in a construct like this:
```bash
defaults write com.apple.symbolichotkeys AppleSymbolicHotKeys -dict-add 60 "{ enabled = 1; value = { type = standard; parameters = ( 32, 49, 1048576 ); }; }"
```
so I have to pass all values in XML format.
