ubuntu-post-install

Modular post-install system for Ubuntu servers. One repo, one entry point, install exactly what you need — interactively or by name.

Quick start on a fresh box

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/outis1one/ubuntu-post-install/main/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash

That installs git (if missing), clones the repo to ~/ubuntu-post-install, and drops you into the interactive wizard.

If you already have git:

git clone https://github.com/outis1one/ubuntu-post-install.git
cd ubuntu-post-install
sudo ./setup.sh

Usage

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 (git, curl, htop, ncdu, jq, glow, …)
2. Checks Docker is present (tells you how to install it if not)
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.

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)

Managing installed services

Every Docker service installs to its own ~/docker/<name>/ folder:

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

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.
