Setting up a new server

These are things I always forget but need to be really comfortable working in a remote server. I try to be distro-agnostic when I can.

1. Set up history options in .bashrc:

   HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth:erasedups
   HISTSIZE=100000
   HISTFILESIZE=100000
   shopt -s histappend
   shopt -s checkwinsize
   PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; history -c; history -r; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
   
   case "$TERM" in
       xterm-color|*-256color) color_prompt=yes;;
   esac
   
   alias ls='ls --color=auto'
   alias ll='ls -alF'
   alias la='ls -A'
   alias l='ls -CF'
   
   alias ag=rg
   

2. Install cargo and all the Rust tools I love:

   curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
   cargo install ripgrep fd-find procs du-dust
   

3. Install build-essential or the equivalent:

   sudo apt-get install build-essential git # for Ubuntu
   
   sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" # for AWS Linux
   sudo yum install git
   

4. Setup pyenv:

   git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
   cd ~/.pyenv && src/configure && make -C src
   echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.bashrc
   echo 'command -v pyenv >/dev/null || export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
   echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
   exec "$SHELL"
   
   # install build requirements
   sudo apt update; sudo apt install make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \
   libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm \
   libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev
   
   # install an example python version
   pyenv install 3.10.6
   
   git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv.git $(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv
   echo 'eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
   exec "$SHELL"
   
   pyenv virtualenv 3.10.6 prod
