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, fastfetch, 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. Invoke remotely
   On your Debian template, run the following command:

   curl -s https://git.jordanwages.com/wagesj45/proxmox-server-setup/raw/branch/main/bootstrap.sh | bash
   

2. Follow the wizard Use the on‑screen menus to:

   • Grant 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 NFS 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.

• NFS shares Adjust the NFS_HOSTS=(…) array to match your NAS hostnames.

---

Troubleshooting

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

• Rerunning Simply invoke:

  sudo setup.sh
  

  again to repeat the wizard.

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