# 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.9iron.club/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.9iron.club/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.
