Unattended install via extra custom config files

[sandreas]

Since I use tteck scripts in different environments I would love to have a possibility to proceed with a completely unattended install using MY personal preference config files to setup a whole system with one command

Example:

I would like to install docker, so I go for:

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/docker.sh)"

Now I have to configure many basics over and over again for every Proxmox installation. Instead I could create a custom repository with my personal config files:

• docker.conf.local - contains all variables usually configured in the start() function, that differ from the default, e.g.:

  # script specific configuration variables (will be referenced / used in `docker-install.sh`)
  INSTALL_PORTAINER="1"
  
  # global configuration variables (will be referenced / used in `docker.sh`
  UNATTENDED="1"
  DISK_SIZE="4"
  CORE_COUNT="4"
  RAM_SIZE="8192"
  

• docker.lxc.local - contains custom content, that will be appendet to the /etc/pve/lxc/<ctid>.conf, e.g.

  mp0: /rpool/data/shared/audio/music,mp=/music
  mp1: /rpool/data/shared/config/navidrome,mp=/var/lib/navidrome
  lxc.idmap: u 0 100000 1000
  lxc.idmap: g 0 100000 1000
  lxc.idmap: u 1000 1000 1
  lxc.idmap: g 1000 1000 1
  lxc.idmap: u 1001 101001 64435
  lxc.idmap: g 1001 101001 64435
  

The script will look for these files and use them, if present. Otherwise these options will be ignored.

I would create a personal git repository looking like this:

• setup.sh - containing all wanted lxcs line per line (bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/docker.sh)"
• docker.conf.local - docker config
• docker.lxc.local - lxc appendances
• pihole.conf.local - pihole config (no lxc file here)
• paperlessngx.conf.local - paperless
• ...

Alternatively it could also be directory based:

• setup.sh - containing all wanted lxcs line per line (bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/docker.sh)"
• docker/conf.local - docker config
• docker/lxc.local - lxc appendances
• pihole/conf.local - pihole config (no lxc file here)
• paperlessngx/conf.local - paperless
• ...

All I would have to do is:

• checkout git repository
• run setup.sh
• watch tv for 30 minutes
• come back and reboot

What do you think?
