willpower232 / Vagrantfile
Created November 21, 2016 12:25
My working minimalist Vagrantfile with everything I have used so far in my use of Vagrant
VAGRANTFILE_CLIENT_NAME = "example"
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.define VAGRANTFILE_CLIENT_NAME do |localdevbox|
localdevbox.vm.box = "localdev"
# Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port
# within the machine from a port on the host machine. In the example below,
# accessing "localhost:8080" will access port 80 on the guest machine.

I am making my .bashrc portable as inspired by this https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/bash-aliases-mac-centos-linux-unix.html
#### Set prompt basics ####
# set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt below)
if [ -z "$debian_chroot" ] && [ -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then
debian_chroot=$(cat /etc/debian_chroot)
fi
# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color)
case "$TERM" in
xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;;

Output pending yum updates as a string and do something with it, good for crons. Based on https://relativkreativ.at/articles/simple-update-notifications-for-your-centos-redhat-server
#!/bin/bash
# count package updates by the number of lines
# note that this will include packages pending replacement because of needing system reboot
UPDATES_COUNT=$(yum check-update --quiet | grep -v "^$" | wc -l)
# count security updates with a substring
SECURITY_UPDATES=$(yum --debuglevel 2 --security check-update 2>/dev/null | grep -P '(?<! 0 packages) available$' | cut -d ',' -f 1)
# store the hostname for later

Output pending apt updates as a string and do something with it, good for crons. Aptitude based version of https://gist.github.com/willpower232/ebc91827347c18501030ea0bb70f1a2a
#!/bin/bash
# count package updates by the number of lines
# - just-print bypasses the sudo lock requirement
# - have to narrow it down to lines with brackets to avoid simulation warning that has whitespace at the start
# also note this will include any packages on hold, you should use apt pinning to hide them from the update process
UPDATES_COUNT=$(apt-get --just-print -V -u upgrade --assume-no | grep "(" | grep "^\s" | wc -l)

Guess I have to get into vim one day
" syntax highlighting
syntax on
" todo: experiment with colour schemes
"colorscheme elflord

" by reminding it that the background is dark

dmenu script for pass
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# 1 - source copy from https://geluk.io/p/passmenu.sh (https://github.com/Baggykiin/pass-winmenu)
# 2 - make dmenu case insensitive
# 3 - correct include_username variable
# 4 - only pick out usernames if they are the start of the sentence, i.e. ignore non-primary usernames listed in the file (mostly for bitbucket)
# 5 - dependency test and install
# 6 - error output on bad argument
