-Multi-boot/distro btrfs provisioning
+PXE install w multi-boot, btrfs & Libreboot support
Some things are specific to my home network, and uses files with secrets
that are not in this repo. Uses pxe or pxe-kexec (on libreboot, I have
like a pxe rom). I use this for bare metal and vms, and two scripts
which can run post boot so I use them on vps distributed image as well.
-Features people may find useful: installs encrypted trisquel belanos, ,
-debian jessie, debian stretch, ubuntu 16.04, and arch (havne't done
-recently, probably a bit broken), in a multi-boot setup using multiple
-subvolumes of a single btrfs filesystem. Utilizes multiple disks, with
-scripts to automatically decrypt on intentional reboots, but not after
-shutdown or power loss.

The partititioning and filesystem script is at
-fai/config/hooks/partition.DEFAULT. Other debian based distros at least
-as new as ubuntu 14.04 should work fine, and I'm planning to add Fedora
-support. Disks are grouped as ssd or hdd and raided in raid 1 or raid 0
-per configuration. The base partitions are divided into boot, swap, and
-root, (only boot is unencrypted). There are scripts to resize those
-partitions post-provision and while the system is running.

People who use fai may find these things as useful examples: it uses
dnsmasq (on a openwrt machine) for dhcp instead of the isc
dhcp. fai-wrapper is a small script to use basic fai classes outside of
fai. It does not use the fai partitioning tool, but the script is
-inspired from it and works outside of fai.
+inspired from it and works outside of fai. It supports running a fai
+server on debian within android via Maru.
It also automates configuration of an openwrt router after manual
initial installation.
scripts from https://iankelling.org/git, and of course there are some
hostnames that are specific to my network.
-Main scripts meant to be called interactively:
+All scripts meant to be used directly are listed here:
-arch-init-remote # install arch (after it's been booted into it's setup env)
-chboot # Set grub to boot into a different distro (installed earlier)
-install-chboot # reinstall chboot to /boot subvols, for when it changes
-dsfull # install & setup a new fai distro (if data partition already synced)
-eboot # reboot without automatic disk decryption
-fai-kexec # kexec to fai tftp server that pxe would normally point to
+
+# Scripts to setup the environment for the install
+
+arch-pxe # Setup arch pxe boot server from an arch base image
fai-redep # Deploy fai configuration to host "faiserver"
-fai-revm # test fai on a fresh vm
-fai-wrapper # Evaluate and use fai classes outside of fai.
-faiserver-revm # create a vm which is a fai server using pxe & preseed file
+faiserver-revm # using pxe & preseed, create a vm which is a fai server
faiserver-uninstall # uninstall fai-server
faiserver-setup # install fai-server on the current machine
+myfai-chboot # setup fai tftp and nfs. useful for doing pxe-kexec
+pxe-server # disable/enable pxe dhcp, tfp, and nfs. calls myfai-chboot
+wrt-setup-remote # setup my router in general: dhcp, dns, etc.
+
+
+# Script to do a distro install
+
+dsfull # install & post-install a new fai distro
+arch-init-remote # install arch after it's been booted into it's setup env
+fai-kexec # Kexec this or a remote machine using host faiserver
+live-kexec # fai kexec from upstream live cds, e.g. curl live-kexec|bash
+
+
+# Test scripts
+
+arch-revm # test arch install on a fresh vm
+fai-revm # test fai install on a fresh vm
+
+
+# Scripts to call after a distro install for various reasons
+
+chboot # Set grub to boot into a different distro (installed earlier)
+install-chboot # reinstall chboot to /boot subvols, for chboot updates.
+eboot # reboot without automatic disk decryption
+fai-wrapper # use fai classes outside of fai. sourced, not called.
+faiserver-disable # Disable the fai nfs server exports
fresize # resize swap or boot partitions in a host
-myfai-chboot # Sets up tftp pxe config on fai server
-pxe-server # temporarily enable (usually) fai or arch boot server
-wrt-setup-remote # setup my router
-ubuntu-xenial-live-fai-kexec # do fai install from xenial live cd using kexec
-myfai-chboot # use instead of pxe-server for fai kexec based install

License stuff:
-The license for the project is GPLv2 or later, mostly because fai is
-and I periodically rebase off their example setup for debian. Also,
-there is a modified encrypt.upstream, which is from the cryptsetup
-package in arch, which is under the same license.
