Using it like an appliance |
Provisioning a new VPS
Assuming I'm using Vultr right now.
- Pick specs
- Sydney location, $5 VPS, Debian 9 should be good
Enable IPv6 and Auto Backups
- Tick all SSH keys
Generic firewall group
- Pick a good hostname and a leave the label as matching it
- Deploy Now
Once the installation gets far enough it'll have an IP address allocated. Grab it and go add the DNS entry for it at https://www.gandi.net/en
Go to the server's settings and set your Reverse DNS, foo.meidokon.net
- Configure backups: Weekly, Friday, 21:00 UTC
You should be pretty much sorted now.
Configuring the new VPS
Debian
- Get onto the box via the new IP or DNS
Install minimal set of packages
apt-get update apt-get install -y aptitude aptitude install -y git make aptitude install -y puppet-module-puppetlabs-stdlib
Clone the puppet code
cd /etc/puppet/ rmdir code git clone https://github.com/barneydesmond/personal-puppet.git code
Run puppet to conform the system:
make -C /etc/puppet/code full
Your system should now be good.
Redhat
- Get onto the box via the new IP or DNS
Install minimal set of packages
yum install -y git make yum install -y puppetlabs-stdlib
Clone the puppet code
cd /etc/puppet/ rmdir code git clone https://github.com/barneydesmond/personal-puppet.git code rmdir modules ln -s /etc/puppet/code/modules
Run puppet to conform the system:
make -C /etc/puppet/code full
Your system should now be good.
Workstation build
This is for a graphical desktop.
- Run the install, use full disk encryption
- Set keyboard shortcuts for new terminal and locking screen
- Install Pragmata fonts, set in terminal
Add apt cache in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10proxy
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://asval.thighhighs.top:3142/";
- apt update, full-upgrade
- apt install openssh-server
Make own key, set it up
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
- Install Chrome
- Login to Google
- Login to Github
- Login to 1Password
Mount NFS data share
mkdir /mnt/nfsdata apt install nfs-client # add fstab entry iowa.thighhighs.top:/volume1/nfsdata /mnt/nfsdata nfs defaults 0 0 mount /mnt/nfsdata
- Add your pubkey to github
Install git and setup repo dir
apt install git mkdir ~/git
Setup vim config
rm -rf ~/.vim git clone git@github.com:barneydesmond/dot-vim.git ~/.vim ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim vim +PluginInstall +qall
Setup bash config
git clone git@github.com:barneydesmond/bashrcd.git ~/.bashrc.d rm -fv ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc ~/.profile ln -s ~/.bashrc.d/bash_profile ~/.bash_profile ln -s ~/.bashrc.d/bashrc ~/.bashrc ln -s ~/.bashrc.d/profile ~/.profile
Setup funky shell
sudo apt install -y python-setuptools git clone git@github.com:barneydesmond/powerline-shell.git ~/git/powerline-shell ls ~/git/powerline-shell/ python setup.py install --user
Raspberry Pi
Go look on /RaspberryPi#General_provisioning for those builds
Unifi stuff
Install Unifi repo
echo 'deb http://www.ui.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unifi.list sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/unifi-repo.gpg https://dl.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-repo.gpg
Install packages
apt update apt install unifi
