 ===== Standard Ubuntu Setup at narf.rocks ===== ===== Standard Ubuntu Setup at narf.rocks =====
  
-Perform a network install of Ubuntu 18.04. Mirror settings:+**We want to get to get this completely automated**. The main tool for this will be Preseed files, of which there will be several. "Nuke And Repave" will become a single menu item. 
 + 
 +== Items About Which Nap Gives No Hecks == 
 + 
 +These are technologies in which I expect never to have interest. Nothing's stopping you though. :-) 
 + 
 +  * Desktop environments other than MATE 
 +  * Distributions other than my favorite at the time, which will probably be Ubuntu until I make my own. 
 +  * OpenStack. Just no. (But I can keep a host aggregate here if it's not too onerous.) 
 +  * PCI passthrough for "Whole-host virtual machines" and/or multi-seat workstations. (I've sunk enough hours into it; my time needs to go elsewhere now.) 
 +  * (Nap: Add to this list.) 
 + 
 +== Nap's To-do == 
 + 
 +I need to put a hard cap on this, and start paring things down. Use the resources I have to make disaster recovery and rapid (re)deployment as easy as possible, and then **get the fuck out of this hobby** because it **SUCKS** and I have dozens of other things I'd rather be doing with my limited time! 
 + 
 +  * Study the output of debconf-selection and make some damned preseed files! Every time you set up an environment, update your documentation! 
 +  * s/quirk/@providers/; 
 +  * fix the PXE environment if that's in any way possible 
 +  * Make the PHP-based sites easier to replicate 
 +  * Headless audio 
 + 
 +== Horsey's To-do == 
 + 
 +  * System monitoring 
 + 
 +== Later or Never == 
 + 
 +  * Rust (Once I have a complete prototype in Perl with tests and can guarantee unchanged behavior) 
 +  * CUDA (Once GPU math makes sense) 
 +  * email (:sob:) 
 + 
 +===== Getting Started =====

 +(except smartmontools on VMs--that will get handled automatically via preseed file, eventually.)

 +  mkdir /root/.ssh 
 +  chmod 700 /root/.ssh 
 +  curl https://keys.naptastic.com/david/naptastic.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys 
 + 
 +Configure ssh not to allow password-based logins. Restart sshd. Verify that 'ssh root@localhostfails. (You didn't forward your agent, did you?Set a password for direct root login. 
 + 
 +== Networking == 
 + 
 +The answer, somehow, is Netplan; I just don't like that answer much. The answer should be to //remove// layers of complexity, not add them. Just name my devices eth0 and eth1, dammit, or give me control over the naming. 
 + 
 +Some of my systems are using ifupdown, and some I'm not sure how they work, and some don't work right. Linux networking is fucking terrible.
