Silverblue Config Automation

This is a personal repository aiming to provion a Fedora Silverblue system according to my customization needs.

This repo is based on the JayDoubleu ansiblue work and on the repository asmodeo from Pietro Bertera. Kudos for all your work!

Prerequisites

Install ansible on silverblue without rpm-ostree

python3 -m ensurepip
python3 -m pip install ansible

Configuration

• Edit the configs/flatpak.yaml file to customize the list of Flatpak applications installed in the system. NOTE: Flatpak names are case sensitive. While flatpak is ok with it, creation of symlinks will fail.
• Edit the configs/toolbox.yaml to customize the toolbox container, including the packages installed inside it.
• Edit the configs/host.yaml file to customize the host and add layered packages using rpm-ostree.
• Edit the configs/host_gnome_dconf.yaml file to customize the host Gnome settings and behavior.
• Edit the configs/host_gnome_extensions.yaml to customize the host Gnome extensions.

Run

Run the automation using the command:

ansible-playbook main.yaml -K

NOTE: the -K option is necessary to elevate user privileges.

Targeting

It is possible to run only specific customization using Ansible tags:

• ansible-playbook main.yaml --tags flatpak <- Run only flatpak tasks
• ansible-playbook main.yaml --tags toolbox <- Run only toolbox tasks ( for all toolboxes )
• ansible-playbook main.yaml --tags fedora-toolbox-35 <- Run only specific toolbox tasks
• ansible-playbook main.yaml --tags host -K <- Run only host tasks

Todo

• Fix the sockpty issue for toolbox shim
