William Carroll 093b566e71 Support env vars for {DESK,LAP,CLOUD}TOP devices
I recently changed my hostname for my desktop and laptop from

wpcarro.lon.corp.google.com -> zeno.lon.corp.google.com
wpcarro2                    -> seneca

If you're curious, the names Zeno and Seneca come from famous Stoic
philosophers. As you can see from this commit, my configuration depends on the
values of these hostnames.

Immediately impacted:
- .profile
- device.el

Not immediately impacted:
- configs/install
- configs/uninstall
- .ssh/config
- .zshrc*

* As a side note, I should stop supporting ZSH.

Using an .envrc file helps me DRY up some of my configuration. Ideally I should
only need to make changes to the .envrc file and then expect everything to work
as expected. Let's see how that goes.

dotfiles

I'm documenting this primarily for personal use. This repository contains shell configs, vim configs, emacs configs, a list of commonly used applications, and other items.

Configuration is everything.

Installation

wpgtk and gvcci

$ apti python-pip3
$ gclone deviantfero/wpgtk
$ cd ..
$ gclone FabriceCastel/gvcci
  • TODO: Integrate Emacs themes into wpgtk.
  • TODO: Integrate Vim themes into wpgtk.
  • TODO: add these to the install script
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/.password-store ~/.password-store
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/bin ~/bin
$ import_gpg $DOTFILES/configs/shared/gpg/.gnupg/exported
  1. Clipmenu

Clipmenu is a service to store a history of copied strings.

Install it as:

$ cd ~/programming && g clone cdown/clipmenu
  • TODO: Include ~/.config/systemd/user in configs/shared.
  • TODO: Obviate installation.

Ensure that it runs on startup:

$ cd ~/programming/clipmenu
$ cp clipmenu clipmenud clipdel ~/bin # You may not need to do this step.
$ vim init/clipmenud.service
# Change the ExecStart line to point to ~/bin/clipmenud
$ cp init/clipmenud.service ~/.config/systemd/user/clipmenud.service
$ systemctl --user start clipmenud
$ systemctl --user enable clipmenud # This step may be optional.
$ reboot
$ systemctl --user status clipmenud # Verify installation worked.
  1. Install Dropbox
$ cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
$ crontab -e # add the following line...
@reboot ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd 2>&1 >/tmp/dropbox.log
$ reboot            # 1/3 verify installation
$ pgrep dropbox     # 2/3 verify installation
$ dropbox.py status # 3/3 verify installation
  1. Authorize computer to access GitHub
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C 'wpcarro@gmail.com'
$ eval $(ssh-agent -s)
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
$ xclip -sel clip <~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
$ browse github.com # paste ssh public key in settings
  1. Install Antigen, Vundle, nix-env
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/antigen.zsh ~/antigen.zsh
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/Vundle.vim ~/.config/nvim/bundle/Vundle.vim
$ cat ~/Dropbox/install_nix.sh | sh
$ for p in $(cat nix-env.txt); do
>   nix-env -i "$p"
> done
  1. Install dotfiles
  • TODO: include steps 2-4 in the make install command.

Missing the following dependencies:

  • stow
  • neovim
  • bat
  • exa
  • fasd
  • opam
  • ghcup
  • ripgrep
  • fzf
  • fd
  • hub
  • pass
$ cd ~/Dropbox/dotfiles
$ DOTFILES="$(pwd)" make install
  1. Install Node dependencies

For now, this deserves its own section since it isn't automated.

gclone tj/n       # clone repo
sudo make install # build from source
n stable          # install the stable version of node
  • TODO: support dependencies like terminal themes

SSHFS

TODO: add explanation about unison, rsync, etc.

SSHFS enables seamless file transfers from your local machine to a remote machine.

Usage

Assuming your remote machine is configured in your ~/.ssh/config (see above), you can mount your remote machine's home directory on your local machine like so:

$ mkdir ~/ec2
$ sshfs ec2:/home/ubuntu ~/ec2 -o reconnect,follow_symlinks

Now your remote machine's home directory can be accessed using the ~/ec2 directory. This directory can be treated as if it were an ordinary local directory. To illustrate how easy it is to use, let's install Vundle onto our remote machine.

$ git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/ec2/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

Voila! We now have Vundle installed on our ec2 instance without needing to manually SSH into that machine.

GnuPG

To install GPG run the following:

$ import_gpg

TODO: create a job that runs this periodically.

$ export_gpg

Reference

- sec: secret key
- pub: public key
- ssb: secret sub-key
- sub: public sub-key

Terminals and Fonts

Any terminal or font I choose should pass the following checks:

$ test_true_color
$ test_16_colors
$ test_text_formatting
$ test_unicode
$ test_emojis

Ligatures

If using a font with ligature (e.g. Hasklig) assert that your terminal also support ligatures.
