Will need to install xclip in order to capitalize on the tmux-yank plugin.

@JennHaggerty: you down to help on this, at least with older CentOS versions?

from dotfiles.

here's something i had to cobble together to spin up a workstation on a vps that (hopefully) has better upload speeds:

linux dotfiles buildlog

centos

1. provision centos 7.5 droplet on digital ocean
2. update host:

   # yum -y update && yum -y install epel-release
   # yum -y groupinstall 'Development Tools'

3. install tmux:

   # yum -y install libevent-devel ncurses-devel
   # curl -OL https://github.com/tmux/tmux/releases/download/2.8/tmux-2.8.tar.gz
   # tar -xvf tmux-2.8.tar.gz
   # cd tmux-2.8
   # ./configure
   # make
   # make install
   # cd ../
   # rm -rf tmux-2.8*

4. install nvim:

   # yum -y install ninja-build libtool autoconf automake cmake gcc gcc-c++ make pkgconfig unzip
   # git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim.git
   # cd neovim
   # git checkout v0.3.1
   # make
   # make install
   # cd ../
   # rm -rf neovim*

5. create admin user:

   # adduser username
   # passwd username
   # usermod -aG wheel username

6. configure ssh access for admin user:

   # su username
   $ mkdir -p ~/.ssh
   $ echo public_key_string >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
   $ chmod -R go= ~/.ssh

7. symlink nvim config and tmux config:

   $ git clone https://github.com/ratmav/dotfiles.git
   $ ln -s ~/dotfiles/.gitignore_global ~/.gitignore_global
   $ ln -s ~/dotfiles/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
   $ mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim
   $ ln -s ~/dotfiles/init.vim ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

8. install vim-plug:

   $ curl -fLo ~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs -s \
       https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

9. install tpm:

   $ mkdir -p ~/.tmux/plugins
   $ git clone -q https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

10. init nvim and tmux:

• open nvim, run :PlugInstall, then quit.
• open tmux, press Prefix (Ctrl-T), then Shift-i (capital "I").

12. copy the following into ~/.bash_profile:

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin

export PATH

export PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

# Force dircolors, etc.
export CLICOLOR=1

# pyenv
export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)";

# load miscellaneous environment variables if needed.
if [ -f ~/.misc_envars ]; then
    . ~/.misc_envars
fi

11. install pyenv and pyvirtualenv:

$ sudo yum -y install zlib-devel bzip2 bzip2-devel readline-devel sqlite sqlite-devel \
     openssl-devel xz xz-devel libffi-devel
$ source ~/.bash_profile  # will complain about no virtualenv. it's ok.
$ git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
$ git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv.git $(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv
$ source ~/.bash_profile  # shouldn't complain.

TODO

useful for local and remove (vnc over ssh for tablet, etc.) workstations:

• port steps 1-7 to fedora and dnf.
• install node-stable
• install go
• install openbox, etc.
• install brave

notes

ssh agent forwarding (to keep local private keys off the box, think thin client has keys, remote host is workstation):

$ ssh -iA ~/.ssh/private_key user@host

centos stream is a thing; might be worth targeting v. fedora, which can have immature driver code.

from dotfiles.

also, just use guake until the neovim/libvterm terminal reflow issue is sorted.

there really isn't a ton of porting to do here; bash is bash...enough.
