# Debian Network Reinstall Script
## Introduction
This script is written to reinstall a VPS/virtual machine to Debian 10 Buster.
## Should Work On
### Virtualization Platform
* SolusVM/OpenStack/DigitalOcean/Vultr/Linode/Proxmox/QEMU KVM (BIOS boot)
* Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (with `--force-efi-extra-removable`; UEFI boot)
* Google Cloud Compute Engine (manually set the VPC internal `--ip`, `--netmask`, `--gateway`; UEFI boot)
* AWS EC2 & Lightsail (BIOS boot)
* Hyper-V **but not Azure!** (Generation 1 BIOS boot & Generation 2 UEFI boot)
### Original OS
* Debian 8/9/10
* Ubuntu 16.04/18.04/20.04
* CentOS 7
## How It Works
1. Generate a preseed file to automate installation
2. Download the 'Debian-Installer' to the `/boot` directory
3. Append a menu entry of the installer to the GRUB2 configuration file
## Usage
curl -fL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bohanyang/debi/master/debi.sh | sudo bash -s -- <OPTIONS>
## Available Options
* `--preset <string>` Shortcut for applying [preset options](#presets)
* `--ip <string>` Static public/private IP, e.g. `10.0.0.2`
* `--netmask <string>` e.g. `255.255.255.0` / `ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::`
* `--gateway <string>` e.g. `10.0.0.1`
* `--dns '8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4'` Ignored if `--ip` is not specified. Quoted string where IP addresses are seperated by spaces
* `--hostname debian`
* `--installer-password <string>` Enable installer network console to monitor installation status. e.g. `ssh installer@10.0.0.2`
* `--authorized-keys-url <string>` Setup SSH public key authentication for the new user and enable installer network console. e.g. `https://github.com/bohanyang.keys`
* `--suite buster`
* `--mirror-protocol http` or `https` or `ftp`
* `--mirror-host deb.debian.org`
* `--mirror-directory /debian`
* `--security-repository http://security.debian.org/debian-security` Magic value: `'mirror' = <mirror-protocol>://<mirror-host>/<mirror-directory>/../debian-security`
* `--skip-account-setup`
* `--username debian` New user with `sudo` privilege or `root`
* `--password <string>` New user password to set. **Will be prompted if not specified here**
* `--sudo-no-password` Make the user run "sudo" commands without entering the password
* `--timezone UTC` https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List
* `--ntp 0.debian.pool.ntp.org`
* `--skip-partitioning`
* `--partitioning-method regular`
* `--disk <string>` Manually select a boot disk when more than one disk is available. e.g. `/dev/sda`
* `--force-gpt` Create a *GUID Partition Table* **(Default)**
* `--no-force-gpt`
* `--bios` Don't create *EFI system partition*. If GPT is being used, create a *BIOS boot partition* (`bios_grub` partition). Default if `/sys/firmware/efi` is absent. [See](https://askubuntu.com/a/501360)
* `--efi` Create an *EFI system partition*. Default if `/sys/firmware/efi` exists
* `--filesystem ext4`
* `--kernel <string>` Choose an package for the kernel image
* `--cloud-kernel` Choose `linux-image-cloud-amd64` as the kernel image
* `--no-install-recommends`
* `--install 'ca-certificates libpam-systemd'` Additional packages to install. Quoted string where package names are seperated by spaces. **Package names specified here will override the default list, rather than append to it**
* `--safe-upgrade` **(Default)** `apt upgrade --with-new-pkgs`. [See](https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/pkgsel/-/blob/master/debian/postinst)
* `--full-upgrade` `apt dist-upgrade`
* `--no-upgrade`
* `--eth` Disable *Consistent Network Device Naming* to get `eth0`, `eth1`, etc. back
* `--bbr` Enable TCP BBR congestion control
* `--power-off` Power off after installation rather than reboot
* `--architecture <string>` e.g. `amd64`, `i386`, `arm64`, `armhf`, etc.
* `--boot-partition` Should be used if `/boot` directory is mounted from a dedicated partition like a LVM setup
* `--firmware` Load additional [non-free firmwares](https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware#Firmware_during_the_installation)
* `--force-efi-extra-removable` [See](https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#Force_grub-efi_installation_to_the_removable_media_path). **Useful on Oracle Cloud**
* `--dry-run` Print generated preseed and GRUB entry without downloading the installer and actually saving them
