Manual Setup

Note that these are the manual steps I personally use (that I haven't yet managed to automate). You will probably have different things you want/need to set up.

macOS

PreReqs

While running up-rs for the first time, you will need to ensure you set up gpg and ssh keys you need in later steps.

System Preferences

Set the computer name (needs restart to take effect):

# e.g. name="$USER-MBP-$year"
scutil --set LocalHostName ${name:?}
scutil --set ComputerName ${name:?}
  • Touch ID -> Add other fingerprints
  • Keyboard:
    • Shortcuts
      • Services -> remove mappings from man Page shortcuts
  • Sharing:
    • Tick the Screen Sharing checkbox.
  • Security & Privacy:
    • Privacy -> Full Disk Access -> Add Terminal.app and Kitty This resolves issues writing to the data volume, e.g. Mail preferences.
    • FileVault -> Turn on FileVault

Autostart

Remove things that shouldn't need to auto-start.

  • System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login Items

NTFS

If you want to write to NTFS-formatted drives (i.e. most external hard drives), then you need third-party software.

Seagate provides Paragon for NTFS, which seems to be the full version, unlike the paragon-ntfs brew cask, which is a trial version.

After installing:

  • click on the icon in the menu bar
  • click "Open Application"
  • Open Preferences
  • NTFS for Mac Menu -> OFF
  • Untick Launch on System Startup
