Linux installation script

This is my personal linux provision script.

Step 1 : OS Installation

Install OS using ISO

Arch

Follow README in arch_install_script folder.

Debian

For debian, install debian usign debian iso. Enable openssh in livecd. Create a user named xhuang. After installation, add xhuang to sudo group.

Step 2: Post-installation

Use ansible to provision the OS

Generate a ssh key and copy key to remote

ssh-keygen -f $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-copy-id -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa USERNAME@HOST

Update inventory list

Go to hosts.ini, change the ip of the remote machine

Run ansible-playbook

virtualenv ansible
cd ansible
source ./bin/activate
pip3 install ansible
ansible-playbook -i ../hosts.ini provision.yaml --ask-become-pass --private-key  $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa

Docker container

In the repo there is a Dockerfile that you can use to build a docker image. That image contains ansible and the playbook. Instead of installing ansible locally, you can use this docker image to run ansible

docker build -t alpine:ansible .
docker container run -it --name ansible alpine:ansible /bin/sh
ssh-keygen -f $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-copy-id -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa USERNAME@HOST
cd /root
ansible-playbook -i ./hosts.ini provision.yaml --ask-become-pass --private-key  $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
