debian-after-install is a setup script for Debian 12 GNU/Linux aka "Bookworm". It is ideally run after first boot into a minimal install of Debian.

Run debian_after_install.py -h for options.

Summary

  • Choice of either minimal, server, or desktop (a choice of Openbox or Sway) configuration
  • Upgrade system
  • Install extra packages
  • Auto-install security updates
  • Setup zram for swap
  • Customize GRUB
  • User configuration
  • Select different keyboard and console-font

How does it work?

Sync package repositories and install git:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install git

Download:

git clone https://gitlab.com/dwarmstrong/debian-after-install.git

Change directory and run script with your username as the sole argument:

cd debian-after-install
sudo ./debian_after_install.py <your_username>
