Subject: [gentoo-user] user config provisioning

1 I am currently trying to slim down and minimize my own few machines.
2
3 Way too much customer servers out there so I'd like to keep it simple in
4 here at least.
5
6 This lead me to configuring and provisioning my machines via ansible.
7
8 The goals:
9
10 * make sure that my user exists
11 * roll out configs/dotfiles/git-repos/home-dir
12 * maybe roll out some system-configs as well (systemd-units, timers) /
13 ... separate ansible-role, OT here
14
15 etc
16
17 I have set up and maintained quite a list of bash-aliases to access my
18 customer-servers in daily work.
19
20 Something like:
21
22 alias abcd-server='ssh -p 51023 174.183.26.11' # demo only
23
24 This is based on ssh-pubkey-authentication, sure.
25
26 My questions:
27
28 * if I have a user X on each machine, should each userX@machine have its
29 own ssh-pubkey? Or is it OK to roll out the same ~/.ssh to all machines?
30
31 * same q for ~/.gnupg ...
32
33 I can deploy the pubkeys to the servers via ansible, sure.
34 But I would like to keep it simple. stupid.
35
36 ;)
