LibreOffice¶

Description¶

This role installs LibreOffice on Arch Linux systems using the Pacman package manager. In addition, it installs the Liberation fonts (ttf-liberation) and language packs corresponding to your chosen LibreOffice flavor. LibreOffice is a powerful and free office suite that provides a comprehensive set of tools for document processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and more.

Learn more about LibreOffice on the official website.

Overview¶

This role installs LibreOffice along with Liberation fonts and language packages on Arch Linux systems for a complete office suite experience.

Architecture¶

ARCHITECTURE.md draws LibreOffice from its own metadata: the containers it runs under compose, what changes under swarm, how each volume is backed, and every role it depends on or is depended upon by.

Section	Drawn from
Compose	`meta/services.yml`
Swarm	`meta/services.yml` replicas and placement
Volumes	`meta/volumes.yml` against the NFS decision chain
Dependencies	`meta/services.yml` and `meta/main.yml` of every role

Purpose¶

The purpose of this role is to automate the installation and configuration of LibreOffice along with its language support on personal computers. This ensures that users have a consistent and fully functional office suite environment across their systems.

Features¶

Automated Installation: Installs LibreOffice along with Liberation fonts and additional language packages using Pacman.
Customizable Flavor: Supports installation of different LibreOffice flavors by dynamically setting the package name.
Language Support: Iterates through a list of desired language packages to ensure comprehensive localization.
Seamless Integration: Designed to work within a larger system setup environment, integrating with dependencies such as Hunspell for spell checking.

Quick Setup¶

Development¶

Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy LibreOffice onto the local stack:

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=dsk-libreoffice full_cycle=false

Production¶

Install LibreOffice directly onto the target machine: clone the repository, install the OS prerequisites and the repository toolchain, then deploy against localhost over a local connection (no SSH, no container):

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
bash scripts/install/package.sh
make install
source scripts/meta/env/load.sh

APP=dsk-libreoffice
DOMAIN="<your-domain>"
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"
INVENTORY=inventories/production
infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
  --inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
  --host localhost \
  --include "$APP" \
  --vars "{\"TLS_MODE\": \"$TLS_MODE\", \"DOMAIN_PRIMARY\": \"$DOMAIN\", \"users\": {\"administrator\": {\"authorized_keys\": [\"$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY\"]}}}"
infinito administration deploy dedicated "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
  --password-file "$INVENTORY/.password" \
  --diff -vv
