system-bootstrap

Scripts to automate the initial setup of any operating system, including development environments, system configurations, and personal preferences.

Usage

WSL Debian Setup

To set up a Debian environment in WSL:

1. Open Command Prompt or PowerShell as Administrator.

2. Change to the wsl directory:

   cd wsl
   

3. Install WSL and Debian using the provided scripts:

   • For Command Prompt: install_wsl2_debian.cmd
   • For PowerShell: install_wsl2_debian.ps1

4. Once Debian is installed, run the bootstrap script to configure the system:

   cd /path/to/system-bootstrap/wsl/scripts/debian/13
   sudo ./bootstrap.sh

   Note: Adjust the path according to where you cloned the repository on your Windows system. In WSL, Windows drives are mounted under /mnt/ (e.g., C: drive is /mnt/c).

The bootstrap script will:

• Configure APT sources for Debian 13 (Trixie)
• Update and upgrade the system
• Install essential packages
• Set up timezone and locale
• Configure shell environment (.bashrc)
• Install additional tools like wsl2-ssh-agent

Note: The script requires root privileges and internet access. It includes error handling and will exit on any failure to ensure a clean setup.
