Claude 39280d71cb README: document USB prep via GitHub ZIP download
The previous USB instructions assumed git was available. Added step-by-step
for the no-git path: GitHub ZIP download → unzip → copy to USB → run
bootstrap.sh. Includes the Ubuntu auto-mount path tip for finding the
drive name. Folder name note (ubuntu-post-install-main from ZIP) added.

# 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
**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 — plug in USB, open a terminal, run:
```bash
sudo bash /media/$(whoami)/DRIVENAME/ubuntu-post-install-main/bootstrap.sh
```
`bootstrap.sh` detects it is running from inside the repo, copies everything
to `~/ubuntu-post-install`, then launches the wizard — so the USB can be
unplugged once setup starts. No auth, no internet needed for the scripts
themselves (services still pull packages and Docker images over the network).
> **Finding your drive name:** Ubuntu mounts USB drives at `/media/USERNAME/DRIVENAME`.
> Run `ls /media/$(whoami)/` right after plugging in to see it.
**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 (`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 12 (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` | `base`, `glow` |
| `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` | `linux-to-sync`, `silent-send`, `sync-cc` |
| `backup` | `backup` |
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)
```
## Managing installed services
Every Docker service installs to its own `~/docker/<name>/` 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
```
## 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.
