# Proxmox Debian VM Bootstrap Wizard

A simple, interactive bootstrap for freshly cloned Debian VMs on Proxmox.  
It uses a two‑stage approach:

1. **Bootstrap script** (stored as `setup.sh` on your VM template)  
   - Prompts for root if needed  
   - Downloads and runs the latest interactive wizard  
2. **Remote setup wizard** (pulled from Git)  
   - Menu‑driven (`whiptail`) configuration: updates, sudo, hostname, SSH keys, aliases, neofetch, CIFS mounts, etc.

---

## Prerequisites

- Debian‑based VM template  
- Network access to `git.jordanwages.com`  
- `whiptail` (auto‑installed if missing)  
- Either `curl` or `wget`  

---

## Installation

1. **Copy & rename**  
   On your Debian template, place the **bootstrap** script as `/root/setup.sh`:
   ```bash
   chmod +x /root/setup.sh

2. **Provision a new VM**
   Clone from your template and boot it. Then run:

   ```bash
   sudo /root/setup.sh
   ```

   * If you’re not root, you’ll be prompted (via `whiptail`) for the root password.
   * The script fetches and executes the latest remote wizard.

3. **Follow the wizard**
   Use the on‑screen menus to:

   * Grant passwordless `sudo` to selected users
   * Apply system updates
   * Set a new hostname
   * Add SSH keys for root & your primary user
   * Install core & optional utilities (`htop`, `jq`, `git`, etc.)
   * Configure CIFS mounts for your NAS shares

---

## Customization

* **Default SSH key**
  Edit the `DEFAULT_SSH_KEY` variable in the remote `setup.sh` to your own public key.

* **Optional packages**
  Tweak the `TOOLS=(…)` array in the remote script to add or remove utilities.

* **CIFS shares**
  Adjust the `CIFS_HOSTS=(…)` array to match your NAS hostnames.

---

## Troubleshooting

* **Fetch failures**
  Ensure network connectivity and that `curl` or `wget` is installed.

* **Rerunning**
  Simply invoke:

  ```bash
  sudo /root/setup.sh
  ```

  again to repeat the wizard.

* **Manually inspect**
  If a step errors out, inspect the console output for hints.
