Three usage modes now documented and implemented: 1. Public repo: curl | sudo bash (unchanged) 2. Private repo, USB: copy whole repo to thumb drive, run bootstrap.sh from it — detects setup.sh alongside itself, copies to ~/ubuntu-post-install, execs setup.sh. No git auth, no internet needed for the scripts. 3. Private repo, PAT: bootstrap.sh --pat ghp_xxx — PAT stripped from stored remote URL after clone so it is not saved in plain text. USB mode is the recommended approach for private repos: clone once, put on a drive, run on every new machine. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Y4dMKtkqkpvmgDKoRdzhTG
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:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/outis1one/ubuntu-post-install/main/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash
Private repo — USB thumb drive (recommended):
# Once, on any connected machine:
git clone https://github.com/outis1one/ubuntu-post-install.git
cp -r ubuntu-post-install /media/user/DRIVE/
# On every new box — plug in USB, run:
sudo bash /media/$(whoami)/DRIVE/ubuntu-post-install/bootstrap.sh
No auth, no internet needed for the scripts. The bootstrap detects it is
running from the repo and copies it to ~/ubuntu-post-install before
launching the wizard, so the USB can be unplugged once setup starts.
Private repo — PAT (alternative):
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
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:
- Installs essential CLI packages (
git,curl,htop,ncdu,jq,glow, …) - Checks Docker is present (tells you how to install it if not)
- Offers to set site defaults — timezone, base domain, Caddy Docker network — so every service picks them up automatically instead of asking each time
- Offers to install Caddy (the reverse proxy most services use)
- 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.
