$HOME sweet $HOME

Goals of this setup

• Working on MacOS (M1) and Windows with WSL2
• Source of truth for configurations AND applications
• Make it easy to test out new things across platforms (devbox, asdf, etc.)
• Make it possible to run the full initial setup without git installed

Setup

To install dotfiles run the appropriate installer.

Windows

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; &([scriptblock]::Create((Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing 'https://raw.github.com/andeki92/dotfiles/main/meta/profiles/windows/setup.ps1')))"

Native Windows symlinks are only created on Windows Vista/2008 and later, and only on filesystems supporting reparse points like NTFS. In order to maintain backwards compatibility, users must explicitely requests creating them. This is done by setting the environment variable for MSYS to contain the string winsymlinks:native or winsymlinks:nativestrict. Without this setting, 'ln -s' may copy the file instead of making a link to it.

In order enable these symbolic links, run git bash as administrator, then:

export MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict
./install-profile windows

Mac / WSL2

# If you have curl installed ########################################
curl -Ls https://raw.github.com/andeki92/dotfiles/main/setup | bash

# If you have wget installed ########################################
wget -q -O - https://raw.github.com/andeki92/dotfiles/main/setup | bash

Errors

ZSH (invalid shell)

In WSL2, if you get the chsh: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/zsh is an invalid shell error, you need to add zsh to the /etc/shells config. Do this using:

command -v zsh | sudo tee -a /etc/shells

Docker engine fails to start (WSL2)

Ubuntu 22.04 and above uses the "new" iptables-nft by default. This prevents docker from starting. Select iptables-legacy by running:

sudo update-alternatives --config iptables

and select iptables-legacy (option #1). After that, restart the docker service and you should be good to go 🤞.

Tools

Here follows some tips and tricks to get up and running with some of the tools provided by the dotfiles.

K3D

Lightweight kubernetes environment running in docker.

Prerequisites:

• Docker (either with colima, or the docker-engine (in wsl2))
• kubectl (to interact with the cluster)

To configure the kube-configurations run:

k3d cluster create dev-cluster

Brew 🍻

OCI

Following the setup here: OCI CLI.

After installing the OCI-Cli (proably with homebrew), you'll need to add a config file, this can be generated in the OCI-Console by setting up a new API key in your profile.
