dotfiles

Another attempt to automate the basic setup and configuration of a computer.

The idea is to do it without using tools like ansible.

Yes, I'm aware I'm not even close to be a developer so this might look wrong and contain errors, so feel free to send feedback!

Who can use these?

• Anyone with a Windows 11 OS ( guessing it is compatible with Windows 10)
• Any Ubuntu (Debian based) OS - there are some caveats thou, only tested on Ubuntu so far

tl;dr

I want to run this right now for Windows

1. Run powershell as administrator (do NOT use 'Powershell 7')

2. Run below scripts (one at a time)

# Checking permissions and setting execution policy and repository for Powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force -Confirm:$false -Verbose

Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.208 -Force

$url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devadalberto/dotfiles/main/install/windows/Setup-Windows.ps1"

try {
    $cmd = Invoke-WebRequest $url
    return
}
catch {
    $Error[0]
    "This window will close in 15 seconds"
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 15
    exit
}


if ($cmd.StatusCode -ne 200) {
    "Something went south"
    "This window will close in 15 seconds"
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 15
    return
} elseif ($cmd.StatusCode -eq 200) {
    Invoke-Expression $($cmd.Content)
    "Script ran successfully.`n"
    "Make sure to close all your powershell sessions."
    "This window will close in 5 seconds"
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
    break
}

I want to run this right now for Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 Server used to test)

1. Log into your machine and run

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y curl

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devadalberto/dotfiles/main/install/linux/ubuntu-server.sh | bash

ToDo

• Create install files for MacOS
• Create install files for Linux? (compatible with WSL?)
• Finish the Windows install files
• Get the scripts hosted in a webServer

I am just putting together stuff already configured or created by someone else. If I miss anybody on the Special Thanks, please let me know.

Special thanks
