I'd like to eventually move away from #Kali for #infosec work/hobbies and maintain my own set of the tools I use on whichever #Linux distribution I choose.

Does anyone maintain #automation that they use to install all their tooling and preferences onto newly built machines? I'd love to develop code to just run after install and have everything set up to my liking.

The names I know in this space are the usual. #Ansible #Chef #Puppet #Salt but that seems like overkill for a single laptop.

@agentduckman all I have for my machines is a simple shell script that installs a few packages and gets my dotfiles set up. I just run it once post install and I'm good to go.
@unlink2 Thank you for the response! Are you pulling in packages from your distribution's repo only, or reaching out to GitHub and building anything from source?
@agentduckman I'm currently only using the package manager for everything but my dotfiles which I get via git.
