This Ansible playbook automates the setup of a development workstation focused on DevOps, containerization, and cloud infrastructure tooling. It's designed to work on Ubuntu-based systems including WSL2 and Multipass virtual machines.

This playbook provisions a Linux development environment with essential tools for:

• Container development and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Package management and system maintenance
• Cloud-native development workflows

• WSL2 with Ubuntu
• Multipass VMs running Ubuntu
• Other Ubuntu-based systems

• Essential system utilities and package management tools
• Bash completion support
• Security certificates and transport utilities

• Docker - Container runtime and tooling
• Docker Compose - Multi-container application management

• kubectl - Kubernetes command-line interface
• Helm - Kubernetes package manager
• minikube - Local Kubernetes clusters
• k9s - Terminal UI for Kubernetes
• kubectx - Kubernetes context switching
• Krew - Kubernetes plugin manager

• Terraform - Infrastructure provisioning tool

1. Ubuntu-based Linux environment (WSL2, Multipass, or native)
2. Internet connection for package downloads
3. Sudo privileges for package installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Tanis74/setup.git
   cd setup

2. Run the bootstrap script to install Ansible:

   sudo sh bootstrap.sh

3. Execute the playbook:

   ansible-playbook -K playbook.yml

The playbook is organized into two main roles:

1. Packages Role: Updates the system and installs essential packages
2. Ops Role: Installs DevOps and cloud-native tooling including:
   • Docker and Docker Compose
   • Kubernetes tools (kubectl, Helm, minikube)
   • Terraform for infrastructure provisioning
   • Additional Kubernetes utilities (k9s, kubectx, Krew)

You can customize the installed versions by modifying the variables in roles/ops/defaults/main.yml:

• Kubernetes version
• Krew version
• k9s version
• minikube version

If you encounter permissions issues, fix them with:

chmod 700 /path/to/setup

This commonly occurs with WSL installations.

This project was inspired by various Ansible workstation setup repositories and community resources for DevOps environment automation.
