Ultimamente estoy poniendo mucho foco en automatizar todo lo que se pueda. Siguiendo esta linea se me ocurrió la idea de simplificar el proceso de onboarding y configuración inicial de un nuevo desktop o laptop, automatizando la instalación de todas las herramientas esenciales que utilizamos día a día los Cloud Engineers y DevOps Engineers.
En este caso, desarrolle el script en PowerShell utilizando algunos comandos nativos y, ademas, utilicé el poderosisimo Chocolatey. Primero vamos a presentar un poco el script, luego hablamos de esta tool.
Link al repositorio de GitHub:
https://github.com/mdiloreto/windows-desktop-devopstools-install-script
En resumen:
En resumen, este script:
- Instalará el listado de software especificado en la variable
$chocoSoftwareListutilizando Chocolatey. - Instalará WSL e instalará la distribución especificada en la variable
$distributionsin inicializarla. - Instalará PowerShell7.
- Instalará los modulos de PowerShell especificados en la variable
$psModules. - Instalará Gcloud SDK inicializando el instalador (ya que el package de Chocolatey está desactualizado).
Componentes del script:
Debajo les dejo la descripción en alto nivel de los componentes del script.
¿Que software instala el script?
En principio el script está seteado para instalar los siguientes programas/tools:
- Development Tools:
git,docker-desktop,visualstudiocode,terraform,kubernetes-cli,python - Cloud CLI Tools:
azure-cli,awscli,gcloud SDK,azurestorageexplorer - Database Tools:
mysql.workbench - Remote Access Tools:
anydesk,mremoteng - API Testing Tools:
postman - Otros:
bitwarden,firefox,snagit
Los packetes instalados podemos modificarlos utilizando la lista $chocoSoftwareList
Esto nos da un pequeño indicio sobre que Packet Manager estaremos utiilzando… Si estaremos utilizando Chocolatey.
¿Qué es Chocolatey?
Es un Packet Manager Open Source para Windows. Esta basado en PowerShell y las instalaciones desatendidas. Es similar a apt-get o yum en Linux. Nos permite administrar los paquetes de instalación de software de manera rápida y automatica en Windows.
Utiliza paquetes de software empaquetados en formatos .nupkg, que son compilaciones de software que incluyen todo lo necesario para instalar una aplicación. Actualmente tiene 10035 Packages mantenidos por la comunidad.
En este script podremos modificar / agregar / quitar el software que es instalado modificando la variable nombrada anteriormente $chocoSoftwareList:
# List of software to install with Chocolatey
$chocoSoftwareList = @(
"git",
"gh",
"docker-desktop",
"microsoftazurestorageexplorer"
"azure-cli",
#"gcloudsdk", ### Package out of date 20-2-2024
"awscli",
"visualstudiocode",
"terraform",
"python",
"kubernetes-cli",
"mysql.workbench",
"mremoteng",
"postman",
"anydesk",
"snagit",
"bitwarden",
#"googlechrome", ### Package out of date 20-2-2024
"firefox"
)
Instalación de WSL
El script tambien instalará e inicializará el Windows Subsystem for Linux en esta sección del codigo:
function install-wsl {
param (
[string[]]$distribution
)
try {
# Enable WSL and Install distribution
$wslInstalled = Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux -Online
if ($wslInstalled.State -ne "Enabled") {
Write-Host "Enabling WSL..."
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux -Online -NoRestart
Write-Host "Enabling $distribution distribution in WSL with no-launch..." -ForegroundColor DarkRed
wsl --install -d $distribution --no-launch
} else {
Write-Host "WSL is already enabled."
}
} catch {
Write-Error "Failed to enable or check WSL: $($_.Exception.Message)"
}
}¿Que es WSL?
WSL, o Windows Subsystem for Linux (Subsistema de Windows para Linux), es una característica de Windows 10 y Windows 11 que permite a los usuarios ejecutar un entorno de Linux directamente en Windows, sin la necesidad de una máquina virtual o un doble booteo.
WSL tiene dos versiones principales: WSL 1 y WSL 2. WSL 1 implementa un traductor de llamadas al sistema Linux en el kernel de Windows, permitiendo la ejecución de binarios de Linux. WSL 2, por otro lado, utiliza la virtualización ligera para ejecutar un verdadero kernel de Linux, proporcionando una mayor compatibilidad y rendimiento para aplicaciones Linux en Windows.
En este caso implementamos el wsl2.
Instalación de PowerShell 7 y modulos
El script instalará PowerShell 7. Adicionalmente instalará los modulos especificados en la variable $psModules.
# List of the Pwsh Modules to install
$psModules = @(
"Az",
"AzureAD", # For Azure Active Directory
"MSOnline", # For Microsoft 365
"ExchangeOnlineManagement"
)El script
