Two Ansible playbooks I run on every new machine — one for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and one for macOS Sequoia 15.4. They install the virtualisation stack, developer tooling, GUI apps, cloud tools, and my dotfiles, so a fresh install reaches a working state in about forty minutes.

  • Ansible
  • Ubuntu
  • macOS
  • Homebrew
  • Provisioning

Highlights

  • Virtualization: Docker + Compose, KVM/QEMU, LXD, MicroK8s, VirtualBox + Extension Pack.
  • Developer toolchain: Git, Vim, Tmux, build tools, Rust, Android platform tools, Snapcraft.
  • GUI apps via apt + snap + Homebrew Cask: VS Code, Postman, VLC, LibreOffice, Spotify, Zoom.
  • macOS branch covers the same shape via Homebrew + `mas-cli` for App Store apps.
  • Idempotent — re-running the playbook reconciles drift instead of double-installing.
