# 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 (with manually configured VPC internal IP and gateway; UEFI boot)
* AWS EC2 & Lightsail (BIOS boot)
* Hyper-V & Azure (Generation 1 BIOS boot & Generation 2 UEFI boot)
### Original OS
* Debian 8 or later
* Ubuntu 14.04 or later
* CentOS 7 or later
## 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
### 1. Download
Download the script with curl:
curl -fLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bohanyang/debi/master/debi.sh
or wget:
wget -O debi.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bohanyang/debi/master/debi.sh
### 2. Run
Run the script under root or using sudo:
sudo chmod a+rx debi.sh
sudo ./debi.sh
By default, an admin user `debian` with sudo privilege will be created during the installation. Use `--user root` if you prefer.
### 3. Reboot
If everything looks good, reboot the machine:
sudo shutdown -r now
Otherwise, you can run this command to revert all changes made by the script:
sudo rm -rf debi.sh /etc/default/grub.d/zz-debi.cfg /boot/debian-* && { sudo update-grub || sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg; }
## Available Options
* `--ip <string>` Disable the auto network config (DHCP) and configure a static IP address, e.g. `10.0.0.2`, `1.2.3.4/24`, `2001:2345:6789:abcd::ef/48`
