Fresh Ubuntu installation

The following steps would be used to spin up a new dev node for local testing, either directly within the new installation or against a series of containers.

Initial steps

1. Install Ubuntu
   • e.g., via ISO, LTS from Windows Store, etc
2. Install Subversion
3. Export /etc/apt/sources.list file
4. Export Squid proxy server settings file
5. Add Git PPA
   • ppa:git-core/ppa
6. Add Ansible PPA
   • ppa:ansible/ansible
7. Add LXC PPA (16.04 needed, 18.04 NOT needed)
   • ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxc-stable
8. Add Golang PPA
   • ppa:longsleep/golang-backports
9. sudo apt-get update
10. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
11. sudo reboot
12. Install common tools
    • tmux
    • git
    • ansible
    • lxc (likely does not work on WSL)
    • docker (likely also does not work on WSL)
    • golang-go

Future steps would use a shell script for bootstrapping and installing Ansible so that one or more playbooks could be used for the rest of the work.
