Bootstrap Script Documentation

Scope

This document details the usage of a server bootstrap script aimed at installing essential utilities and configurations for server setups. It supports the installation of ZSH, Docker, along with various optimizations and support tools.

Usage

To initiate the bootstrap process with the default configuration, embed the following command in your server's post-installation scripts:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
## source <(curl -s https://git.nixc.us/colin/bootstrap-scripts/raw/branch/main/strap.sh) defaults-bootstrap

This line fetches and executes the bootstrap script, setting up the server with a standard suite of tools and settings.

Advanced Usage and Provider Specific Deploys

The bootstrap script accommodates deployments specific to different providers, allowing for the inclusion or exclusion of selected features based on requirements.

Example for OVH Deployment:

For deploying on an OVH server with tailored settings, use the example below:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
source <(curl -s https://git.nixc.us/colin/bootstrap-scripts/raw/branch/main/strap.sh) bootstrap ovh nosalt

This example demonstrates how to configure a server specifically for OVH, omitting Salt configuration management.

Deployment Customization:

• The first argument after bootstrap indicates the target cloud provider or environment (e.g., ovh, digitalocean).
• The second argument allows for specifying configuration preferences, such as excluding Salt stack installation (nosalt).

Adjust these parameters to customize the bootstrap process according to your deployment environment and preferences.
