Dev Setup - Kubuntu 🐧

This repository contains scripts, configs and Ansible that I use to setup my development environment.

This has been designed for Kubuntu (25.04+) 🖳 however if you use regular Ubuntu it should still work ok.

Tools I mainly use are:

• Java and Maven (provisioned with SDKman) ♨️
• Docker 🐋
• Node
• SDKMan
• LinuxBrew 🍺
• Bash (with BashIT plugin)

Distro	Version(s)	CPU	SKU
Kubuntu	25.04	Intel/ARM (64-bit)	Desktop

The structure of the files are like so:

• main.yml
  • core.yml
  • tool a.yml, b.yml, c.yml etc.
  • final tasks : java.yml etc.

Note some programs are installed using snap.

Text shell customization assumes you're using bash.

GUI shell customization assumes you're using KDE on desktop Linux.

Onboarding

One-command flow for a fresh machine:

1. Bootstrap the Python venv and install Ansible + collections:

   ./pre-setup.sh

2. Activate the venv in your current shell:

   source ~/.venvs/ansible/bin/activate

3. Run the site playbook (prompts for sudo password):

   ansible-playbook site.yml -K

4. Optional post-install tweaks:

   ./post-setup.sh

Common commands

Command	What it does
make lint	Run yamllint and ansible-lint inside the venv
make check	Dry-run the site playbook (--check --diff)
make run	Run the site playbook
ansible-playbook site.yml -K --tags docker	Run only tasks tagged docker
make tags	List all tags available in the site playbook
