arcfg

My own Ansible managed Arch Linux configuration

Requirements

sudo pacman -S git python-uv

Installation

git clone git@github.com:shimarulin/arcfg.git ~/.local/share/arcfg
cd ~/.local/share/arcfg
uv sync --group dev
uv run ansible-galaxy collection install -r ./collections/requirements.yml

Usage

Setup variables

uv run mkvars

Run playbook

uv run ansible-playbook arcfg.gnome.main

Output a playbook stdout to the log file

uv run ansible-playbook arcfg.desktop.tty > .logs/play/arcfg.desktop.tty__$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%T").log

Development

uv run pre-commit install --install-hooks

Create new role

uv run mkrole

By default, this command implies installing a package with a name matching the name of the role being created.

Mount project to virtual instance (QEMU/KVM)

Host system

VM virtual fs settings example:

<filesystem type="mount" accessmode="passthrough">
  <driver type="virtiofs"/>
  <binary path="/usr/lib/virtiofsd"/>
  <source dir="/home/username/.local/share/arcfg"/>
  <target dir="arcfg"/>
  <alias name="fs0"/>
  <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x09" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
</filesystem>

Virtual machine

Create on VM mount point:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/arcfg

Automount virtual fs with /etc/fstab:

arcfg    /home/vagrant/.local/share/arcfg    virtiofs    defaults    0 0

Create additional environvent file:

echo 'export UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT=${HOME}/.local/share/arcfg/.cache/vmvenv' | sudo tee -a /etc/profile.d/00-arcfg.sh

Reboot, jump to ~/.local/share/arcfg dir and reinstall packages

uv sync --group dev
