# Group hosts in config and meta profiles
|
|
|
|
Let's consider the situation where you have multiple hosts from different distros and you
|
|
want an easy way to structure your config file nicely but also simplify the use
|
|
of templates (since multiple hosts in the same distro would share the same configs parts -
|
|
or if branch in templates).
|
|
|
|
You define two types of profiles:
|
|
|
|
* **Meta profiles**: for example for distros it would be something like `os_arch`, `os_debian` and so on.
|
|
These are never directly used for installing dotfiles but instead included by other profiles.
|
|
* **Host profiles** (defaults to hostnames): the usual `home`, `office`, etc
|
|
|
|
Each *Host profile* would include a *meta profile* and inherit all its dotfiles as well as
|
|
it variables. For example in the *meta profile* you would define variables like `distro: debian`
|
|
that you could use in your templates with `{%@@ if distro == "debian" @@%}` to target all
|
|
profiles that inherit from the same *meta profile*.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
profiles:
|
|
meta_base:
|
|
dotfiles:
|
|
- f_zshrc
|
|
- f_zshrc
|
|
os_arch:
|
|
variables:
|
|
distro: arch
|
|
include:
|
|
- meta-base
|
|
os_debian:
|
|
variables:
|
|
distro: debian
|
|
include:
|
|
- meta-base
|
|
home:
|
|
include:
|
|
- os_arch
|
|
dotfiles:
|
|
- f_vimrc
|
|
office:
|
|
include:
|
|
- os_debian
|
|
dotfiles:
|
|
- f_something
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You then have the opportunity in your templates to do the following
|
|
that would select the if branch for all profiles inheriting from
|
|
a specific *meta profile*.
|
|
```

{%@@ if distro == "arch" @@%}
|
|
source /usr/share/zsh/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
|
|
{%@@ elif distro == "debian" @@%}
|
|
source /usr/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
|
|
{%@@ endif @@%}
|
|
