Provision Debian

*Installs Debian from behind paywall...*

Jumpstart scripts to install Debian with packages and configs I use.

Usage

1. Install Debian with "Expert" installer. Partition drives with gui as follows:

   Name	Type	Mount Point	Size
   EFI	EFI system partition	/boot/efi	512MB
   root	btrfs	/	rest of disk

2. Complete installation until the "Install the base system" step.

3. Switch to a tty and run the following commands:

   umount /target/boot/efi
   umount /target
   mount /dev/sdaY /mnt
   cd /mnt && mv @rootfs @
   btrfs subvolume create @home
   btrfs subvolume create @snapshots
   btrfs subvolume create @home_snapshots
   btrfs subvolume create @var
   btrfs subvolume create @tmp
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@ /dev/sdaY /target
   mkdir -p /target/boot/efi
   mkdir -p /target/home
   mkdir -p /target/snapshots
   mkdir -p /target/var
   mkdir -p /target/tmp
   mount /dev/sdaX /target/boot/efi
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@home /dev/sdaY /target/home
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@snapshots /dev/sdaY /target/snapshots
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@var /dev/sdaY /target/var
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@tmp /dev/sdaY /target/tmp
   mkdir -p /target/home/snapshots
   mount -o rw,noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=zstd,ssd,discard=async,subvol=@home_snapshots /dev/sdaY /target/home/snapshots
   

4. Edit fstab to mount items from step 4.

5. Switch back to gui install and complete install.

6. Reboot and edit /etc/apt/sources.list to have these sources:

   deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
   deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
   

   Then run the following commands:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
   sudo apt-get autoremove
   sudo reboot
   

7. Install zram with the sudo apt install zram-tools and edit /etc/defaults/zramswap and uncomment PERCENT=25.

8. Run the following commands:

   sudo apt install vim git -y
   git clone https://github.com/starr-dusT/dotfiles ~/.local/share/chezmoi 
   

   Copy .chezmoidata.yaml.example to .chezmoidata.yaml and edit with desired settings then run the following commands:

   ~/.local/share/chezmoi/provision/fedora/jumpstart.sh
