xubuntu-18.04-dev-box

Produce a throwaway fresh install of Xubuntu 18.04 with RDP, with a Vagrant-managed, Ansible-provisioned virtual machine.

Requires:

• Vagrant 2.x
• Virtualbox 5.x
• RDP client of your choice

Adds the following extra packages:

• ansible
• awscli (via pip)
• azure-cli
• build-essential
• caprine (via snap)
• code
• default-jdk
• default-jdk-doc
• discord
• docker.io
• git
• git-interactive-rebase-tool (thanks Tim)
• hexchat
• irssi
• keepassxc
• kops
• kubectl
• openssh-server
• python-pip
• slack (via snap)
• snapd
• terminator
• ttf-mscorefonts-installer
• vagrant
• vim
• virtualbox
• xrdp
• xubuntu-desktop
• xubuntu-restricted-extras
• yakyak (via snap)

Adds the following IDEs:

• Pycharm CE (via snap)
• IntelliJ IDEA CE (via snap)

Build the VM:

• vagrant up will do the dirty work

Login via RDP:

• rdesktop <vagrant-ip> -g 1600x900 will open a RDP session with a resolution of 1600x900. Alternatively, use whatever you want to log in. If you are logging in with Microsoft Terminal Services Client or Remmina, you will probably need to change to a color depth of 24bpp.

TODO:

• Automatically create shortcuts to IDEs
• Add more IDEs
• Generalize so that this can be deployed to a non-VM host
