Naptastic

Partitioning: The most recent rebuild was shark, for which I took Debian's default EFI setup for the 2TB OS drive. I only changed / to BTRFS instead of ext4. Debian installs itself to a subvolume named @root and makes that subvolume the default, so it's ready for snapshotting backups.

Preseed could not do everything I needed, and stopped working, so I am no longer pursuing it as a technology. I just use the network installer and build from there.

• network interface names. Can I automate this? (Of course I can.)
• Profile stuff: Bash, Vim, ? Can I automate this? (Of course I can.)
• Network stuff. Too much goddamn customization.
• disable journald; configure logging for everything.
  • Make a list of things that need to log
  • How exactly do I want logging set up?

• mst* installer
• copy production opensm configuration in case you have take over as SM
• (what needs to change here for VMs using virtual functions?)

If your host is going to do audio stuff, follow the LAD playbook. Which also badly need an update.

If your host is going to host web stuff, follow the LAMP playbook but keep in mind it's badly out-of-date. Be prepared to search, read docs, look for a better way.

Perform a network install of Debian.

run the naptastic installer if it didn't run as part of the installer:

curl https://naptastic.com/initial.sh | /bin/bash

# This is not necessary unless the installer failed to do it.
mkdir /root/.ssh
chmod 700 /root/.ssh
curl https://keys.naptastic.com/david/naptastic.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

Configure ssh for a high-numbered port, and not to allow password-based logins. Restart sshd. Verify that 'ssh root@localhost' fails. (You didn't forward your agent, did you?).

(You forwarded your agent, right?)

  git clone git@github.com:naptastic/etc
  cp -a etc/* /etc/ # does this actually copy .git? Check to make sure, alright?
  cd /etc
  git status

and see where you stand.

Remember: We play with live ammo. Don't `git rm` something unless you're on a host-specific branch.

ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link # the installer does this

check /etc/network/interfaces because the device name is probably wrong there. TODO Fix that on fresh installs kthx

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.

Add this to /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line:

sh -c 'setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1'

maybe you feel like it, maybe you don't. idk. This will be replaced with customized preseed files.

(this needs an update: not sure about fonts packages. Also some network-manager-*-gnome packages might be useful depending on what kind of networking you're doing.)
