# dots
Dotfiles managed by [chezmoi](https://www.chezmoi.io/), [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/) and [reaver](https://github.com/szorfein/reaver).
Only works on some Linux distro including:
+ `Archlinux`
+ `Debian`, ... *frozen* from now, i don't recommend install my dotfiles on it, need motivation and time here...
+ `Gentoo`, tested with systemd, musl (openrc) and/or [binaries](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binary_package_guide).
+ `Void Linux`, tested on a clean install of the [rootfs-glibc](https://voidlinux.org/download/) and [rootfs-musl](https://voidlinux.org/download/).
Why i use chezmoi?
+ Even with GNU/Stow, i have to modify a lot of files each time i install/reinstall a new system, i start hating this !
+ Template are great.
+ Possibility of encrypt files.
+ Install and updates are easy.

## Requirements
### Add an user
If need a new user (new system), create one:
useradd -m -s /bin/bash custom-username
passwd custom-username
Next, you need to install and configure `sudo` or `doas`, we need permission to install packages:
# EDITOR=vi visudo
custom-username ALL=(ALL) ALL
### Dependencies
You need to install `chezmoi` and `git`.
With `Gentoo`:
# emerge -av dev-vcs/git
$ curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io | sh
With `Arch`:
# pacman -S chezmoi git vi
With `Debian`:
# apt-get install curl git
$ curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io | sh
For `Voidlinux`:
# xbps-install -S chezmoi git
## Install
Only 4 little steps here
### Clone this repo
$ chezmoi init https://github.com/szorfein/dots.git
To test the ansible branch, (also look the branch for additionnal instructions)
$ chezmoi init https://github.com/szorfein/dots.git --branch=ansible
### Config
Edit the config file with your favorite text editor.
$ EDITOR=vim chezmoi edit-config
You can change for example in `[data]`:
[data]
sound = "pulseaudio"
web = "librewolf"
It will install firefox rather than brave-bin and modify a lot of things during the install.
### Apply
`apply` will install all the dependencies and add files to your $HOME.
$ chezmoi apply
If /tmp is protected with `noexec`, you need to tell `chezmoi` to use another dir
[#1929](https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi/issues/1929)
$ mkdir $HOME/tmp
$ TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp chezmoi apply
## Update
From time to time, start the update simply with:
$ chezmoi diff
$ chezmoi update
## Doom Emacs
After the first install, if you need-want to use
[doomemacs](https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs), you have to finish the
installation with a single command:
$ doom sync
## Final settings
If you have not yet configure X, change the keyboard layout like this:
$ localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts | grep fr
$ sudo localectl set-x11-keymap fr
