⚙️ Automatic configuration for my Mac.
ℹ️ Blog post about moving to macOS after ten years of Linux.
Automatic installation is based upon the following Ansible roles:
- geerlingguy.homebrew manages homebrew installation and packages
- geerlingguy.mas manages apps from the app store
- ansible-role-binaries installs binaries
- ansible-role-dotfiles configures my shell/dots
- ansible-role-pip installs pip packages
Also kudos to Jeff Geerling for his work with mac-dev-playbook which obviously influenced my setup.
Bootstrap your system to be able to run Ansible:
xcode-select --installexport PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Library/Python/3.8/bin:/opt/homebrew/binpip3 install --upgrade pippip3 install --user ansible
Run Ansible with the provided Makefile:
make installto download required ansible rolesmake configureto runansible-playbook(sudo password required)
Some apps need to be installed manually
- Download TinkerTool for some extra tweaks
- Chromium cask not working as expected -> download manually and run
xattr -cr /Applications/Chromium.app - Download and install FastRAWViewer
- Download and install a patched font for your terminal
- Download and install AlDente Pro
Configuration is mainly done via my dotfiles repo via ansible-roles-dotfiles and a private dotfiles repo, both using chezmoi under the hood.
