Dotfiles managed with chezmoi

Initialization

TODO: how to handle a new linux system correctly.

Test with centos7-01:

1. put executable to HOME dir

2. add public ssh key to gitea user

3. initialize with ./chezmoi init sdroid@gitea.sdroid.uber.space:heavy/dotfiles.git

4. check what will happen with ./chezmoi diff

5. apply it with ./chezmoi apply

After that a bin directory will exist (if not yet present before), move the executable to this dir to have it PATH.

add to .bashrc

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
# see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12440287/scp-doesnt-work-when-echo-in-bashrc
[[ "$-" != *i* ]] && return

if [ -x ~/.bashrc.d/bashrc.init ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc.d/bashrc.init
fi

AWS Systeme (Draft)

TODO: create user file for initialization at provisioning

1. install go sudo yum install -y golang golang-bin

2. install git sudo yum install -y git-all

3. install chezmoi from git repo (see below)

4. check GOPATH and adjust if necessary

5. initialize with chezmoi init https://gitea.sdroid.uber.space/heavy/dotfiles.git (Use 'heavy' as user).

6. check what will happen with chezmoi diff

7. TODO: vi .config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml (Template is not correct)

8. apply it with chezmoi apply

chezmoi installation

cd $(mktemp -d)
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi.git
cd chezmoi
go install

New User

Better try modifications with a new user to keep the defaul user accessible to the system. See below links to proceed.

• https://aws.amazon.com/de/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/new-user-accounts-linux-instance/

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html#retrieving-the-public-key

Uberspace

Alternative way to include .sshrc by detecting SSH connection.

# User specific aliases and functions

# test if the prompt var is not set
# See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/154395/running-scp-when-bashrc-of-remote-machine-includes-source-command
if [ -z "$PS1" ]; then
    # prompt var is not set, so this is *not* an interactive shell
    return
fi

if [ -f ~/.sshrc ] && [ -z "$SSH_CLIENT" ]; then
    echo "Not a ssh connection"
else
    echo "ssh client is present: $SSH_CLIENT"
    . ~/.sshrc
fi

cygwin

When using cygwin, the chezmoi executable has defaults for Windows. That means the default HOME dir is the Windows %USERPROFILE% directory. To provide the managed files to the cygwin path /home/user the target directory has to be adjusted while calling chezmoi.

H:\>chezmoi apply -D C:\cygwin64\home\user

H:\>chezmoi -D C:\cygwin64\home\user managed
C:\cygwin64\home\user\.gitconfig
C:\cygwin64\home\user\.solarize_colors
C:\cygwin64\home\user\.solarize_colors_base
C:\cygwin64\home\user\.sshrc
C:\cygwin64\home\user\.vimrc
C:\cygwin64\home\user\bin
