    Day 0 - Bootstrap MacOS with Ansible

After factory resetting the maching you will need to do the following things to bootstrap it with Ansible.

Set default shell to bash chsh -s /bin/bash (optional)
Open the App Store and sign in (but do not install anything)
Install command line tools

xcode-select --install


Add Python 3.8 to the $PATH

export PATH="$HOME/Library/Python/3.8/bin:$PATH"


Upgrade python's pip

sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip


Install libyaml See Jeff Geerling's Post as to why

python3 -m pip install --user libyaml


Install Ansible

python3 -m pip install --user ansible


Setup ssh keys

airdrop ssh key pair from working MacBook
mkdir ~/.ssh
mv ~/Downloads/id_rsa* ~/.ssh/
chmod 0400 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 0644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
chmod 0700 ~/.ssh
ssh-add


Clone (or your fork of) https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook to laptop

git clone git@github.com:geerlinguuy/mac-dev-playbook.git ~/.macup


airdrop your custom config.yml into ~/.macup/ on your new laptop
Install roles and collections

cd ~/.macup && ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml


Some things on an M1 Mac will fail due to not having Rosetta 2.

Install Rosetta 2
sudo softwareupdate --install-rosetta


Grant "full disk access" permissions to terminal to be allowed to change settings etc

This is to allow the .osx file to make changes
In System Preferences --> Privacy --> Full Disk Access select Terminal
Quit terminal and reopen before continuing


Create an alias for conveniently running Ansible with this specific config.

alias macup='ANSIBLE_CONFIG=~/.macup/ansible.cfg ansible-playbook -i ~/.macup/inventory ~/.macup/main.yml -K'


Configure laptop

macup

    Day 1 plus - Maintaining MacOS with Ansible

Why

To lower the time to being productive on a new MacOS install.
How

There is two locations you should make changes that work with this automation.
Tune the settings in ~/.macup/config.yml or your .osx file which this automation can run for you.
After a change is made to either, run macup. That is it.
