Hanzō

Hattori Hanzō: You must have big rats if you need Hattori Hanzo's steel. The Bride: ...Huge.

This Ansible playbook configures a new ArchLinux installation with some development tools. The goal of the playbook is inspiring developers to prepare programmatically their development environment. This repository targets my requirements and it's very unlikely it can be used in a general purpose sense.

Quickstart

If you like living on the bleeding edge and curlbombs don't scare you, the automatic installer is the easiest way to configure your system:

    $ sh <(curl -L http://j.mp/hattori-hanzo)

A clean ArchLinux installation is recommended but not required. Anyway, bear in mind it WILL OVERWRITE ENTIRELY your system.

If you use this approach, nothing else is required and you can enjoy your new system!

Manual Installation

In case you don't want to use the curl command above, you can clone or download this repository, using either git or the release page. After the checkout, run the following commands:

    $ cd hanzo/
    $ HANZO_FOLDER=$(pwd) bash bin/bootstrap.sh

Unattended Installer

If you don't want to use the interactive shell to configure Hanzo, you can set the following environment variables:

• HANZO_FOLDER: if specified, that folder is used as Hanzo root. If not specified, the bootstrap script fetches Hanzo from GitHub.
• HANZO_FULLNAME: your full name used in the .gitconfig.
• HANZO_EMAIL: your email address used in the .gitconfig.
• HANZO_USERNAME: username used to create the main user.
• TAGS: sets Ansible tags. Available options are [chromeos]. If not tags are set, a standard Archlinux toolbox is configured.
• EXTRA_ARGS: sets Ansible extra arguments. Use this variable if you want to set options such as --verbose or --check.

Testing

If you want to apply the playbook changes without touching your current configuration, or you want to test any change of the current configuration, a Dockerfile is available to build an ArchLinux container. To start the provisioning, just:

    $ docker build -t hanzo:test . \
        --build-arg HANZO_FULLNAME=test \
        --build-arg HANZO_USERNAME=test \
        --build-arg HANZO_EMAIL=test@example.com \
        && docker rmi hanzo:test

Contribute

The playbook provisions a machine with my current configuration. Because it's unlikely that you use exactly my current environment, you may use this repository as a base to create your own configuration. Indeed, I'll be glad to accept any PR that:

• Fixes the current playbook execution
• Improves the playbook styles or Ansible best practices
• Enhances or makes me aware of different methods to distribute the playbook

I will not accept any PR that adds new development tools, but I will be grateful if you can discuss about it in the issue tracker.
