Maddie's Dotfiles

This is a bunch of configuration information I use on my machines. It's finally stripped-down and sleek, moving a lot of package complexity to my PPA.

To take full advantage of these tools, it's recommended to follow these steps:

# Install my PPA, if you haven't yet
curl https://ppa.maddiem4.cc/setup-ppa.sh | sh

# Install the packaged version of the sys files
sudo apt install mm4cc-dotfiles

# Configure and apply your configuration
dotfiles configure && dotfiles apply

The original version of this repo is still available under the spaghetti git tag. It has a few things I still need to crib from for mm4cc-pkg metapackages.

Machine build instructions

So far I've been using Ubuntu Server 24.04, and optionally wrangling it to have desktop functionality. For reproducibility reasons, here's my recipe:

• Default settings unless otherwise specified.
• Did not use updated installer.
• Custom storage:
  • Reformat target drive, eliminating existing partitions
  • Use as boot device
  • Create a GPT partition (unformatted) in the free space taking rest of drive
  • Create volume group - name it morgana-vg (substitute your hostname as applicable) using that partition
  • Create volumes:
    • morgana-root 300G ext4
    • morgana-home (remainder) ext4
• Appropriate profile config
• Install OpenSSH server (don't import keys)
• Don't install snaps
• Reboot

And then, at this point, I'd do the instructions at the top of this document.
