# Ansible playbook to provision your academic desktop
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At present this playbook supports only Ubuntu. Please help me extend support to
|
||
|
|
other Debian and Linux flavours by contributing issues or pull requests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start by flashing Ubuntu Server 24.04.4 Live ISO image to a USB stick
|
||
|
|
(for example, using balenaEtcher) and use the installer to install the default
|
||
|
|
Ubuntu Server OS on your computer (setup the disk however you like).

||

|
Why `zhutop`? The reason is not very creative, it is simply a portmanteau of
|
||
|
|
the name of my academic advisor (whose desktop was the first host configured
|
||
|
|
using this playbook), and desk`top`.

### Working with roles (git submodules)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Update all the roles from their respective remotes:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ git submodule foreach git fetch
|
||
|
|
$ git submodule foreach git pull origin main
|
||
|
|
```
