roelfie / dotfiles Goto Github PK

What to do if a device gets lost / was stolen / is sold?

• Remove ssh keys from GitHub
• Remove device from 1Password's allowed devices
• Same for Dropbox?
• In Apple 'Find My' mark the device as stolen, and file an erase request
• ... ?

Also tried to call the bookeeper/notification.py script from the command line without success.

If possible, include it in the bookkeeper script.

~/workspaces contains many cloned (github, gitlab, ..) projects (both private and work). When I spin up a new machine, I would like all these repositories to be available without having to clone them manually one by one.

1. Generate a list of all git repositories that we can use to rebuild our entire workspace.
2. Extend the setup_workspaces.zsh script to clone all listed repositories.
3. Store the list in Dropbox (not in the .dotfiles folder, because it contains private repo URLs that I don't want to be visible to the outside world).

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=seunlanlege.action-buttons

(and perhaps all other vscode settings? At this moment I only backup the installed extensions)

We've added the location of the code binary within the VS Code app to our PATH variable, so that will be ready to go when we reinstall everything.

We don't need (or want) to do the manual Command Palette approach, but Homebrew will do something similar as an "artifact" of the install, and this will conflict with the other command in our PATH.

Currently the Dock stacks are populated in https://github.com/roelfie/dotfiles/blob/main/scripts/setup_dock.zsh#L100. Which is a bit hard to maintain. And each time you install a new cask, you have to remember to extend this setup script with the new application.

Try to extract the stack info from the setup script into a config file, just like we did for setup_workspaces.zsh.

TODO:

1. move folder docks/icons from resources to config.
2. create JSON file config/dock/stacks.conf.yaml.
3. adjust setup_dock.zsh so that it uses stacks.conf.yaml.
4. create commands to add / remove applications from a stack.
5. wrap the "brew install --cask " command in a script that, once installed, automatically adds the application to the specified stack: "cask-install " just installs, but "cask-install --stack="dev" should add it to the "dev" stack
6. and perhaps a script to remove broken links from stacks.conf.yaml?

pip seems to be supported by mackup, but running 'mackup backup' did not add anything new to /Dropbox/Apps/Mackup.

Find out how to properly back up / restore globally installed python and Node packages (similar to the 'Brewfile' for homebrew).
We may have to extend the bookkeeper to achieve that?

setup_macos.zsh now finishes with restarting some applications, Terminal being one of them.
This causes the installation process to stop.

Make it resume automatically afterwards, or at least provide an instruction to the user.

At this moment the bookkeeper logs everything to a single backup file (bookkeeper.log).

To get a better timeline of what happened to my machine, try to create multiple log files:

• bookkeeper.log: General log messages
• brew_upgrades.log
• pip_upgrades.log
• npm_upgrades.log

This way, when we run into trouble with package versions, it is way easier to trace back when things changed.

Ideally in a structured format like this (per package):

pip-autoremove
  20210923  0.9.0
  20220427  0.10.0
pip-review
  20220107  1.0.2
  20220401  1.1.0
  20220605  1.1.1
...

But something like this will also do (chronological):

20210923  pip-autoremove  0.9.0
20220107  pip-review 1.0.2
20220401  pip-review 1.1.0
20220427  pip-autoremove  0.10.0
20220605  pip-review1.1.1
...

This keyboard shortcut conflicts with the default macOS shortcut for "Search man Page index in Terminal" under System Preferences / Keyboard / Shortcuts / Services.

This guy made a script disabling that macOS shortcut. Check if there's an easier way and how we can incorporate it in setup_macos.zsh.

For now, I've disabled the shortcut manually.

Also, this command does not work for me:

(Command type [CommandType.DESCRIBE] has already been registered.)
since python 3.11. Select python v3.10- to make gcloud work again.

Requirements

• scripts should not be stored in github (but Dropbox?)
• scripts should be grouped by employer

Example:
~/Dropbox/bin/personal
~/Dropbox/bin/work/clientA
~/Dropbox/bin/work/clientB
~/Dropbox/bin/work/clientC

Update dotbot and .zshrc to

• Symlink ~/bin to ~/Dropbox/personal
• Add ~/bin to PATH
• Add all folders under ~/Dropbox/work dynamically to PATH

It seems that not all ForkLift Preferences are backed up / restored.

For example:
Tools: Visual Studio Code: /opt/homebrew/bin/code $SOURCE_PATH
Editing: Visual Studio Code

Find out if they are (or can be) backed up / restored. If not possible, improve ForkLift instructions in README.md/Manual Steps.

Problem:
setup_macos.zsh now asks for the computer name.
This script is one of the last scripts.
And setup_ssh_github.zsh contains a hard coded computer name (like mbp2021).

Solution:
Ask for the computer name at the very beginning of the installation process.
Later on, during github configuration, use that computer name, and remove hard coded computer names.

By default, when a Terminal shell exits, the window stays open. This is useless for me.

The following setting (under Terminal/Preferences/Profiles/Shell) is more convenient: "When the shell exits: Close if the shell exited cleanly".

Find out if there's a "defaults" key for this one, and add it to setup_macos.zsh.

I have some apps (ForkLift, Things, Chrome, ..) to launch automatically at system startup.
They are configured in the System Preferences under 'Login Items'.
Find out if we can script this.

One of the first things the project does is creating a link:
~/work: ~/Dropbox/work
(see install.conf.yaml)

At that stage, Dropbox does not exist and the folder has not been created or populated.

The installation process complains when it finishes the ohmyzsh script. It then re-executes .zshrc which encounters this non-existing work folder. Perhaps we can in the .zshrc create the link on the fly the first time?

There's information on java/jenv and node/n in the README, but nothing on python.
Install pyenv en pip and mention them in the README.

When this ticket is DONE we've covered Java, node and python.

Bookkeeper

Exact error message (see bookkeeper logs):

==> Uninstalling packages; your password may be necessary:
com.1password.op
sudo: a terminal is required to read the password; either use the -S option to read from standard input or configure an askpass helper
sudo: a password is required

pip.requirements.txt contains version numbers.
Each time bookkeeper upgrades a python package, pip.requirements.txt changes and a git commit is created.
Try to backup the python packages without version number.

Check if the IntelliJ IDEA preferences are properly backed up and restored.

Like this one:

I've already a script bin/gitupdate.
That script traverses all subsdirectories, checks if they're a git repo, and does a "git pull --all".

TODO:

1. Include this in the bookkeeper so that this is executed periodically, every morning.
2. Make smarter: First check if there's something to pull (git status?) only then do the actual pull
3. Write result to log files.
4. Do it recursively for all directories under ~/workspaces
