After the install: My configuration script for Debian Bookworm

Last edited on 2024-05-10 • Tagged under  #debian   #linux   #openbox   #bash   #programming 

Script debian-after-install configures a Debian GNU/Linux system.

It is ideally run after first boot into a minimal install of Debian 12 aka "Bookworm".

Run debian_after_install.sh -h for options.

Summary

  • SERVER or DESKTOP configuration is available
  • SERVER installs packages for a basic console setup, where DESKTOP installs the Openbox window manager
  • Customize GRUB
  • Auto-install security updates (optional)
  • ZRAM for swap (optional)
  • Select different keyboard and console-font (optional)

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:

cd debian-after-install
sudo ./debian_after_install.sh
