Ubuntu desktop setup local environment

Ansible Ubuntu setup

Ansible roles to setup Ubuntu desktop. This playbook is focused on quickly deploying a "ready to use" Ubuntu Desktop.

Requirements

• Git
• Ansible 2+ (automatically installed from Ansible offical PPA with the provided install.sh script)

Installation

First, you need to install Git and Ansible :

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/sys0dm1n/ansible-ubuntu-desktop.git
$ cd ansible-ubuntu-desktop
$ bash ./install.sh

Then you need to copy the group_vars/all.yml to group_vars/local.yml and customize which roles suit your needs. All roles except locales,common, and desktop are disabled by default.

Run ansible-playbook ansible-desktop.yml --ask-become-pass and enter your sudo password to run the playbook

Optionaly you can run just some of the tags like: ansible-playbook ansible-desktop.yml --ask-become-pass --tags=common,locales

Tags are named the same as role dirs. If a role is in a sub dir then the tag for that specific role is sepparated with a colon like: aws:cli. But you can also use aws and that should install all the roles under the aws dir.
