Salt's Bootstrap Script

A script to bootstrap a user with git and some auxiliary tools.

Building User Home

Download and run the latest bootstrap.sh:

cd
git clone https://git.desu.ltd/salt/bootstrap
./bootstrap/bootstrap.sh $HOME

In the event that you want to simply test bootstrap.sh, simply pass a different argument to it:

./bootstrap/bootstrap.sh -d /path/to/directory

See bootstrap.sh -h for more usage information.

Building a Gentoo Install

First, partition out the system and build a filesystem tree in /mnt.

Then, download and run the latest gentoostrap.sh:

cd
git clone https://git.desu.ltd/salt/bootstrap
sudo ./bootstrap/gentoostrap.sh

The script supports a fair few arguments, so it's worth looking into gentoostrap.sh -h if you need to customize the system.

Note that this is highly specific to my environment. Most of the configuration management is done in Ansible, but this will create a user with my own personal setup.

Older Versions

build-home.sh is an older version of the script kept here for legacy compatibility. Do not use it; use bootstrap.sh.

Notes

  • By default, the user's home directory will be bootstrapped. Passing -d and a different path will cause a different path to be bootstrapped.

  • By default, the repository will be cloned over SSH. Either generate some keys and add them to your remote server or change the repository URI to HTTP.
