# ubuntu-post-install Modular post-install system for Ubuntu servers. One repo, one entry point, install only what you need — interactively or by name. ## Quick start on a fresh box **Public repo — paste on any new box:** ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/outis1one/ubuntu-post-install/main/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash ``` **USB thumb drive — works for public or private repos:** Prepare the USB once on any machine (no git required): 1. Go to the repo on GitHub → green **Code** button → **Download ZIP** 2. Unzip it — you'll get a folder called `ubuntu-post-install-main` 3. Copy that folder to your USB drive On every new box: 1. Plug in the USB — it opens in the file manager 2. Navigate into the `ubuntu-post-install-main` folder 3. **Either:** - Right-click inside the folder → **Open in Terminal** → type `bash bootstrap.sh` - **Or** double-click `bootstrap.sh` → if prompted, choose **Run in Terminal** The script asks for your password if needed. It detects it is running from inside the repo, copies everything to `~/ubuntu-post-install`, then launches the wizard — the USB can be unplugged once setup starts. **Private repo — PAT (alternative):** ```bash sudo bash bootstrap.sh --pat ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ``` Use a fine-grained read-only PAT scoped to just this repo (Contents: Read). The PAT is stripped from the stored remote URL after cloning. ## Usage ```bash sudo ./setup.sh # interactive wizard sudo ./setup.sh caddy immich # install specific services sudo ./setup.sh configure # set site defaults (timezone, domain, Caddy network) ./setup.sh --list # list all services grouped by category sudo ./setup.sh --dry-run immich # preview without making changes sudo ./setup.sh --unattended base # non-interactive, use defaults ``` ## What the wizard does **First run:** 1. Installs essential CLI packages (`net-tools`, `ncdu`, `git`, `curl`, `wget`, `htop`, `tree`, `zip`/`unzip`, `ca-certificates`, `gnupg`, `jq`, `rsync`, `glow`) 2. Checks for Docker CE + Compose plugin; prompts to install if missing 3. Offers to set **site defaults** — timezone, base domain, Caddy Docker network — so every service picks them up automatically instead of asking each time 4. Offers to install Caddy (the reverse proxy most services use) 5. Drops into a **category menu** — pick a group, tick services, install, repeat **Re-run:** skips steps 1–2 (already done), goes straight to the menu. **Site defaults** are saved to `~/docker/.config` and pre-fill every service prompt. Update them any time with `sudo ./setup.sh configure`. ## Services | Group | Services | |-------|---------| | `base` | `net-tools`, `ncdu`, `git`, `curl`, `wget`, `htop`, `tree`, `zip`/`unzip`, `ca-certificates`, `gnupg`, `jq`, `rsync`; `glow` (terminal markdown reader, Charm apt repo) | | `homelab` | `caddy`, `crowdsec`, `authelia`, `homeassistant`, `asterisk`, `sunshine` | | `utilities` | `actualbudget`, `ai-gpu`, `archivebox`, `changedetection`, `ddclient`, `filebrowser`, `fmd`, `gatus`, `homebox`, `iopaint`, `joplin`, `koha`, `magicmirror`, `mail-archiver`, `mattermost`, `mealie`, `meshcentral`, `n8n`, `nextcloud`, `ntfy`, `onlyoffice`, `paintplus`, `portainer`, `rustdesk`, `stirling-pdf`, `syncthing`, `traccar`, `unifi`, `uptimekuma`, `vaultwarden`, `watchyourlan`, `watchtower`, `wg-easy` | | `media` | `arm`, `audiobookshelf`, `calibre-web`, `emby`, `immich`, `jellyfin`, `lyrion` | | `cameras` | `frigate`, `frigate-audio`, `frigate-notify`, `sky-cam` | | `gaming` | `drum-rhythm-game`, `js99er`, `kyber-launcher`, `kyber-server`, `minecraft`, `wolf`, `wolf-pair` | | `extras` | `kdeconnect`, `silent-send`, `sync-cc` | | `backup` | `backup` — complete recovery: entire `~/docker//` for every service via Kopia (Minecraft: flush+snap, no downtime; others: stop/snap/start for DB consistency); `borg-backup` — same coverage via Borg (chunk dedup, SSH remote repos, Borgmatic/Vorta compatible); `gaming-backup` — frequent game-save snapshots (Minecraft world data, emulator saves, Steam — no downtime, run hourly) | Run `./setup.sh --list` to see descriptions. ## Layout ``` setup.sh dispatcher — wizard, direct install, --list, --dry-run lib/common.sh shared helpers: logging, prompts, site config, OS detection services/ one file per service (self-registering) extras/ non-Docker assets bundled with the repo (e.g. sync_cc.py) CLAUDE.md contributor guide — how to add services, available helpers ``` ## Managing installed services Every Docker service installs to its own `~/docker//` folder: ```bash cd ~/docker/immich docker compose up -d # start docker compose logs -f # logs docker compose pull && docker compose up -d # update docker compose down # stop ``` ## Installing from a USB thumb drive No git required. Works for anyone with a browser. ### 1 — Put the repo on the USB 1. On GitHub: click **Code → Download ZIP** 2. Open your Downloads folder — right-click the ZIP → **Extract Here** 3. Drag the `ubuntu-post-install-main` folder onto the USB drive in the file manager sidebar To update later: download the ZIP again, extract, drag the new folder to the USB and replace the old one. ### 2 — Run on the target machine Plug in the USB. Open the `ubuntu-post-install-main` folder in the file manager, then either: - **Right-click inside the folder → Open in Terminal**, then run: ```bash sudo bash bootstrap.sh ``` - **Double-click `bootstrap.sh`** → click *Run in Terminal* → it prompts for your sudo password and starts the wizard automatically. ### Notes - Everything the wizard installs goes to `~/docker/` on the **target machine's disk** — only the setup scripts live on the USB. - **exFAT** is the best filesystem for the USB — readable on Windows and macOS for easy ZIP extraction, and works fine on Linux. ## Compatibility Tested on **Ubuntu 24.04 LTS** and **26.04 LTS**. Works on any Ubuntu LTS ≥ 22.04; non-LTS releases also work. The wizard shows the detected OS in the header and warns on unknown versions. ## Gaming scripts Standalone scripts in `scripts/` for gaming setup — not part of the main wizard, run separately. ### Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) + Kyber **`scripts/setup-swbf2-linux.sh`** — Configure SWBF2 on native Linux Steam (Proton, controller, performance tweaks). **`scripts/setup-kyber-linux.sh`** — Install the native Linux Kyber launcher. Kyber is the community multiplayer replacement for SWBF2 after EA shut down official servers in 2022. It went open-source (GPL) in January 2026. **The correct approach is a native Linux AppImage** — not Wine or Proton for the launcher itself. The AppImage is maintained at: https://github.com/simonlinuxcraft/kyber-linuxport-unofficial ```bash chmod +x scripts/setup-kyber-linux.sh ./scripts/setup-kyber-linux.sh ``` The script downloads the latest AppImage, installs a desktop entry, and creates a `kyber` command in `~/.local/bin`. **Every time you want to play:** 1. Open **Steam** (must be running for library validation) — do NOT click Play on SWBF2 2. Launch **Kyber** (`kyber` or from the app menu) 3. In Kyber: join a server (HOME) or create one (HOST) 4. Kyber/Maxima launches SWBF2 via its own bundled GE-Proton — wait 1-3 minutes 5. If the SWBF2 window appears but won't focus: press **Alt+Tab** or click its taskbar entry — this is normal when the game is launched by a wrapper process Do NOT launch SWBF2 from Steam directly. If Steam's SWBF2 is already running when Kyber starts, kill it first — Kyber cannot inject into a Steam-launched instance. **If Kyber says "Game Not Found":** Click **SET GAME FOLDER** and point it to the SWBF2 install directory. Find it with: ```bash find ~/.steam/steam/steamapps -name "starwarsbattlefrontii.exe" 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs dirname ``` Paste that path into the SET GAME FOLDER dialog. **If Origin Error: "title installed in language not entitled to play":** Maxima's Wine prefix is missing locale registry keys — its setup commands fail silently on some systems. Fix: ```bash cat > /tmp/swbf2_fix.reg << 'EOF' Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Origin Games\1035052] "locale"="en_US" "displayname"="STAR WARS Battlefront II" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Origin Games\1035052] "locale"="en_US" "displayname"="STAR WARS Battlefront II" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop] "InstallSuccessful"="true" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Origin] "InstallSuccessful"="true" "ClientPath"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\conhost.exe" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International] "Locale"="00000409" "LocaleName"="en-US" "sLanguage"="ENU" EOF WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/maxima/wine/prefix wine64 regedit /tmp/swbf2_fix.reg ``` Then restart Kyber and try again. **First run (one-time setup):** 1. Click **EA Account** → log in with your EA credentials in the browser 2. Click **Skip** on Nexus Mods (optional, only needed for mods) 3. EA login is cached — you stay logged in across sessions **Hosting a private server with bots:** - HOST → pick maps/modes → set a **name** and **PASSWORD** → Start Server - Share the server name + password with friends; they search by name in HOME - Bot count: in the HOST panel right side → **AUTOPLAYERS** section → set **BOTS TEAM 1** and **BOTS TEAM 2** (e.g. 4 each) → click **UPDATE SERVER** - Bot difficulty: the **BOT DIFFICULTY** slider (RECRUIT → OFFICER → KNIGHT → MASTER) - After the game loads you can also update settings live and hit UPDATE SERVER again **Requirements:** - SWBF2 (Steam AppID 1237950) installed via Steam (Kyber manages its own GE-Proton for launching the game) - glibc 2.38+ — Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 38+, SteamOS 3.7+ - EA account (free) at ea.com - Unprivileged user namespaces enabled (Ubuntu 24.04 restricts these by default): ```bash sudo sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0 ``` The setup script applies this automatically when run with sudo and saves it to `/etc/sysctl.d/99-userns.conf` to persist across reboots. Without this fix Kyber fails with: `bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied` **If SWBF2 crashes immediately when a level starts loading:** Likely a DXVK rendering issue, especially on integrated GPUs (Intel Iris Xe, etc.). Disable fullscreen and HDR in the game settings file — the game writes this on first run: ```bash PROFILE=$(find ~/.local/share/maxima -name "ProfileOptions_profile" 2>/dev/null | head -1) sed -i 's/GstRender.FullscreenEnabled 1/GstRender.FullscreenEnabled 0/' "$PROFILE" sed -i 's/GstRender.EnableHDR 1/GstRender.EnableHDR 0/' "$PROFILE" ``` Then restart Kyber and try hosting/joining again. **What does NOT work:** - Running the Windows `kyber_launcher.exe` under Wine/Proton: EA's auth callback uses the `eadesktop://` URI scheme which has no Linux handler, and Wine's cmd.exe crashes on long OAuth URLs anyway - Running Kyber inside Wolf/Games-on-Whales: the Docker double-sandbox blocks the user namespace clone that Proton requires
