# 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` | | `utilities` | `actualbudget`, `ddclient`, `filebrowser`, `fmd`, `magicmirror`, `mealie`, `meshcentral`, `ntfy`, `portainer`, `traccar`, `uptimekuma`, `watchtower`, `wg-easy` | | `media` | `arm`, `audiobookshelf`, `emby`, `immich`, `jellyfin`, `lyrion` | | `cameras` | `frigate`, `frigate-audio`, `frigate-notify`, `sky-cam` | | `gaming` | `js99er`, `minecraft`, `wolf`, `wolf-pair` | | `extras` | `silent-send`, `sync-cc` | | `backup` | `backup` — Kopia (game saves/world data, no service downtime); `disaster-backup` — full `~/docker//` dirs (stop/snap/start, databases included) | 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.
