New page

== Provision /home directory ==
=== Dotfiles everywhere ===
Create a new folder in the operations repository under roles/core/userland-home/files. The folder MUST match your username.

Any file in it will be deployed in your home directory. Subfolders can be created, and won't delete other files: the task only create or update the files you store there.

To add files is no-op. To actually trigger the deployment, add in pillar/core/users.sls the following block under your username:

<syntaxhighlight language="yaml">
everywhere_tasks:
- deploy_dotfiles
</syntaxhighlight>

Keep in mind, a variety of roles will use Linux (Debian, CentOS Stream, Rocky) and FreeBSD.

=== Dotfiles on devserver ===
To provision your home directory on devserver role, create a folder under roles/devserver/userland-home/files

To add files is no-op. To actually trigger the deployment, add in pillar/core/users.sls the following block under your username:

<syntaxhighlight language="yaml">
devserver_tasks:
- deploy_dotfiles
</syntaxhighlight>

Keep in mind, devserver role is used by FreeBSD and not Linux servers.

== Other tasks ==
=== Crontab on devserver ===
Drop the full crontab content in roles/devserver/userland-home/files/_crons/

The new file MUST match your username.

=== Misc tasks on devserver ===

* <code>deploy_nanotab</code> will create an alias <code>nanotab</code> to offer you a nano with tab support, and still has access to nanorc configuration, useful to edit Makefile
* <code>install_rustup</code> to get your own Rust environment
* <code>install_diesel</code> if you want to install Diesel under your Rust environment (requires rustup)
