-Every time that I do a clean install on my machine it takes a few hours
-till I get to point where I was before formatting it, install all
-packages, select themes, icons, fonts, install IDEs, extensions and so
-on. After doing it a few times I came to the conclusion (
-[genius](https://i.imgur.com/BtWuQgT.png)) that It would be nice to
-automate this chore, and as a result, I could tinker a little more with
-my system and not be afraid of spending a weekend reinstalling
-everything (which have happened more time that I'd likei to remenber)
-
-So after a few attempts using python or/and bash, I couldn't get something
-that scales and ended with many files and keep the files organized and
-concise turned out to be more tedious than the setup itself. So it comes
-[Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/). It is an enterprise-grade software
-used to automate tasks. It has many features I can be really helpful as
-a sysadmin but what we gonna focus here is cliente side of thing using
-[Ansible Pull](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_intro.html#ansible-pull)
-and
-[Playbooks](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks.html)
-as better describe:
-
-> Ansible-Pull is used to up a remote copy of ansible on each managed
-> node, each set to run via cron and update playbook source via a source
-> repository. This inverts the default push architecture of ansible into
-> a pull architecture, which has near-limitless scaling potential.
-
-> Playbooks are Ansible’s configuration, deployment, and orchestration
-> language. They can describe a policy you want your remote systems to
-> enforce, or a set of steps in a general IT process.
-
-The next step is to pull a playbook from a git account and run on
-the host, the playbook will have tasks needed to setup our
-machine.
-
-To run it locally first we need to add localhost to hosts list, to do so we
-only the following text added to `/etc/ansible/hosts`:
-
-{% highlight text %}
-[all]
-localhost
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-As an experiment we're gonna make tasks to install vim. Currently, I
-using
-[Fedora](https://getfedora.org/) thus we going to use
-[dnf modeule](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/dnf_module.html)
-to install packages
-
-The playbook to install is quite simple:
-
-{% highlight yml %}
-# main.yml
-- hosts: all
- tasks:
- - name: install vim
- dnf:
- name: vim
- state: latest
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-Fist `hosts:` it is required and it has to match our hosts so we are
-able to run that playbook. Then `tasks:` which is a list of task that
-the playbook will perform that in this case will be `dnf install` for
-the vim package.
-
-Ansible pull requires a repository but for the first example I want to
-keep it simple so we will use `ansible-playbook` commando to run
-`main.yml` direct from disk, do to so just run the following command:
-
-{% highlight bash %}
-sudo ansible-playbook --connection=local main.yml
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-After a few seconds, vim will be installed on your machine.
-{% highlight bash %}
-PLAY [all] *************************************************************
-
-TASK [Gathering Facts] *************************************************
-ok: [localhost]
-
-TASK [install vim] *****************************************************
-ok: [localhost]
-
-PLAY RECAP *************************************************************
-localhost : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-This is the first step, next part we shall create a more complex
-playbook and setup repo and actually use `ansible-pull`

-[See part 1]({% post_url 2019-03-07-ansible-part-1 %})
-
-Now we're gonna setup ansible to work with a git repository. The process is quite similar with `ansible-playbook` the only difference is that command will get a repository instead of a folder. Following the previews example we'll get vim setup automated.
-
-Do create a git repository wherever you see fit ([gitlab](https://about.gitlab.com/) and [github](https://github.com/) offer free repositories). For this task we're gonna need to add only two file: one for the `yml` file describing the tasks and the `.vimrc` file.
-
-In the `.vimrc` add your own configuration, you can see mine [over here](https://gitlab.com/gabrielgio/homestation/-/blob/debcf3458df511aef9f7dca0cb73f6cf6baddd5d/.vimrc), it is pretty simple as I don't use it but for simple text editing (like this post) so you can start with that if you don't have one.
-
-The `yml` file will have two tasks, one is to install vim itself, identical as in the part 1.
-
-{% highlight yml %}
-# main.yml
----
-- name: install vim
- dnf:
- name: vim
- state: latest
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-To copy `.vimrc` file to your `$HOME` we going to use [copy module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/copy_module.html):
-
-{% highlight yml %}
-# main.yml
----
-- name: copy vimrc file
- copy:
- src: config/.vimrc
- dest: ~/
- mode: 0644
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-After adding those two files your repository will be something [like this](https://gitlab.com/gabrielgio/homestation/-/tree/debcf3458df511aef9f7dca0cb73f6cf6baddd5d).
-
-And now we just need to run `ansible-pull` command
-
-{% highlight bash %}
-# you may need run it as a sudo
-ansible-pull -U <YOUR_REPO> -i all main.yml
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-Params:
-* `-i` is a list of hosts.
-* `-U` is the git repository url.
-
-Remember `man` is your best friend take a look at `man ansible-pull` to know more about its parameters.
-
-The best part you can quickly test and see the result by just running my sample:
-{% highlight bash %}
-ansible-pull -U https://gitlab.com/gabrielgio/homestation.git -C debcf3458df511aef9f7dca0cb73f6cf6baddd5d -i all main.yml
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-The idea here is to keep your repository as a source of truth when comes to configuration, you can add this task to your cron tab, so you just need to push something to your repository and after a few minutes not only your machine but all the machines that have it setup will receive an update. You can use this method as a simple way to install software, update machines or even distribute tools company-wise.

----
-
-Lately I have been using emacs quite heavily, I started using org mode after a friend insistently
-telling me to try, got hooked and now I'm addicted on spacemacs+evil mode, very useful, I recommend it!
-I'm compiling emacs because emacs 27, which it is not available on fedora repos yet, has some serious start up
-performance improvement which I more then welcome when using spacemacs.
-
-But enough talking lets down to the business.
-
-First install the following packages:
-
-{% highlight bash %}
-sudo dnf install git autoconf make gcc texinfo gnutls-devel giflib-devel ncurses-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel giflib-devel gtk3-devel libXpm-devel
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-Then we need to clone the repo from [savannah.gnu.org](http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/) where is hosted
-the source code of emacs:
-{% highlight bash %}
- git clone -b master git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-Navigate to emacs folder that we've just cloned and execute the following steps
-
-{% highlight bash %}
-./autogen.sh
-./configure
-make -j$(nproc)
-sudo make install
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-After that you will have emacs 27 or further running on your machine. To verify the version just run `emacs --version`.
-
-### Bonus content
-For maximum awesomeness I would suggest using [spacemacs](https://www.spacemacs.org/),
-tt has a lot of features out of the box. To install:
-
-{% highlight bash %}
-git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d
-{% endhighlight %}
