Alternatives
- snwh/ubuntu-post-install: Has few features like setting up dotfiles, but has limited config options and requires shell to be interactive. Only few external repositories are supported.
- Ansible : Requires python on your system. Much more deteministic and better idempotency. There are plenty of roles and collections available on ansible-galaxy. But it adds more complexity and you have to write your own playbooks.
