#+TITLE: Windows Subsystem for Linux Setup
#+AUTHOR: James Blair
#+EMAIL: mail@jamesblair.net
#+DATE: 1st September 2019
* Setup home folder structure
This section sets up my preferred set of initial folders inside my home directory.
#+NAME: Setup home folder strucuture
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
cd ~/
mkdir Documents
mkdir Downloads
#+END_SRC
* Update and install packages
To get started we ensure the package manager is up to date.
#+NAME: Update system packages
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS: Update system packages
Next we install a series of standard packages that form part of our workflow or
are dependencies for other tools in our environment.
#+NAME: Install standard packages
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo apt-get install -y \
git curl wget locales xclip tmux net-tools less \
software-properties-common htop wget apt-transport-https ca-certificates mutt \
screenfetch make gcc gnutls-bin
#+END_SRC
We use [[https://pandoc.org/][pandoc]] for documentation export from spacemacs.
#+NAME: Install pandoc
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
curl -L -O https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.7.3/pandoc-2.7.3-1-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/pandoc-2.7.3-1-amd64.deb
#+END_SRC
For additional package management we use node. The code below installs node ~12~.
#+NAME: Install node
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
#+END_SRC
For managing secrets we use [[https://bitwarden.com/][bitwarden]] which provides a great [[https://github.com/bitwarden/cli][cli utility]].
#+NAME: Install bitwarden and login
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
export account=[BITWARDEN_ACCOUNT]
sudo npm install -g @bitwarden/cli
bw login $account
#+END_SRC
For working with google cloud platform we use the [[https://cloud.google.com/sdk/][GCP SDK]], which provides our cli tools.
#+NAME: Install google cloud sdk
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Add the Cloud SDK distribution URI as a package source:
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
# Import the Google Cloud public key:
curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg add -
# Update then install the Google Cloud SDK & kubectl:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk kubectl
#+END_SRC
For cloud infrastructure deployments we use [[https://www.terraform.io/][terraforms]].
#+NAME: Install hashicorp terraforms
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Download the binary
wget 'https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.9/terraform_0.12.9_linux_amd64.zip'
# Unzip it
unzip *.zip
# Move the binary to path
sudo mv terraform /usr/bin/
# Clean up
rm *amd64.zip
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| Archive: | terraform_0.12.9_linux_amd64.zip |
| inflating: | terraform |
For ad-hoc system administration we use ansible
#+NAME: Install ansible
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo yum install -y ansible
#+END_SRC
* Install spacemacs
A key component in our environment is spacemacs. The section below will setup
version ~27.0.50~ of emacs and then spacemacs on top.
#+NAME: Clone the emacs repository
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
git clone -b stable --depth=1 https://github.com/ii/emacs
#+END_SRC
#+NAME: Install dependencies
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
sudo apt-get install autoconf make gcc texinfo libgtk-3-dev libxpm-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev libtiff5-dev libgnutls28-dev libncurses5-dev
#+END_SRC
#+NAME: Compile and install emacs
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
cd /emacs/
./autogen.sh
./configure.sh
make
sudo make install
#+END_SRC
After compiling and installing emacs we should verify that version ~27.0.50~ is
installed.
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
emacs --version
#+END_SRC
* Setup a local emacs pacakge mirror
To save time we will setup a local mirror for all the LISP files that we need as part of spacemacs.
Depending on your machine and internet connection it may take some time to download, configure and compile.
#+NAME: Setup local emacs elpa mirror
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
sudo git clone --depth 1 -b stable https:/github.com/ii/elpa-mirror /usr/local/elpa-mirror
#+END_SRC
Setup spacemacs within our home folder.
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
git clone --depth 1 -b stable --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ii/spacemacs.git ~/.emacs.d
ln -sf ~/.emacs.d/private/local/dot-spacemacs/.spacemacs ~/.spacemacs
emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs.d/init.el
#+END_SRC
* Setup mutt email client
For reading email we ideally use a cli based client for fast searching
and lightweight mail reading.
The [[https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/][mutt]] mail client fills these roles well for imap mailboxes.
The first step to setup mutt is to ensure it is installed.
#+NAME: Install mutt
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo apt-get install mutt
#+END_SRC
After installing mutt we then need to create configuration directories
and files.
#+NAME: Create mutt config files
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
mkdir -p ~/.mutt/cache/headers
mkdir ~/.mutt/cache/bodies
touch ~/.mutt/certificates
touch ~/.muttrc
#+END_SRC
One configuration folders and files exist we just need to populate our
user mutt configuration file with a configuration for our particular
mail provider.
The example below utilises the ~bitwarden~ cli utility for secrets to
ensure these are securely gathered at runtime and not stored in the file.
#+NAME: Set mutt configuration
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
cat > ~/.muttrc << EOF
set ssl_starttls=yes
set ssl_force_tls=yes
set imap_user=`bw get username hosted`
set imap_pass=`bw get password hosted`
set from=`bw get username hosted`
set realname='James Blair'
set folder=imaps://mail.jamesblair.net
set header_cache="~/.mutt/cache/headers"
set message_cachedir="~/.mutt/cache/bodies"
set certificate_file="~/.mutt/certificates"
set smtp_url="smtp://`bw get username hosted`@mail.jamesblair.net:587/"
set smtp_pass=`bw get password hosted`
set move=no
set imap_keepalive=900
set postponed="=Drafts"
set record="=Sent"
set imap_passive=no
set spoolfile=imaps://mail.jamesblair.net/INBOX
EOF
#+END_SRC
* Setup environment dotfiles
Within wsl we can use .dotfiles to further customise our environment. The script
below restores my versions of key dotfiles automatically.
#+NAME: Clone and restore the dotfiles
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
git clone ssh://git@gitlab.jamma.life:2224/jmhbnz/tooling.git
cd /tooling/
cp .* ~/
#+END_SRC
