Omakub is an opinionated shell-based setup script that turns a fresh Ubuntu 24.04+ installation into a fully configured web development environment with a single command. It bundles curated tooling, terminal apps, and desktop configuration from DHH and Basecamp.
Use cases
- set up a new ubuntu machine for web development
- one-command developer environment on linux
- install a curated set of cli tools on ubuntu
- configure a fresh ubuntu install like dhh's setup
- bootstrap a linux web dev workstation
When to choose
- you want a fast, opinionated, fully-configured Ubuntu dev setup without hand-picking tools
- you like Basecamp/DHH's tooling choices and terminal-first workflow
- you're setting up a fresh Ubuntu 24.04+ machine
When to avoid
- you want a minimal or fully customized setup with your own tool choices
- you don't run Ubuntu 24.04+
- you need a tool with a formal license file or enterprise support
