Gentoo-HAI

Gentoo - Headless Auto Installer, Perfect for initial Gentoo (server) setup. (hai also becomes a phun in Japanese)

Use a livecd and manually download https://tinyurl.com/gto-hai (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ASoft-se/Gentoo-HAI/master/install.sh) and run it to make the installation..

Example:
wget tinyurl.com/gto-hai -O install.sh
sh install.sh

Please check the script for settings and optimizions that can be done.

  • list_latest.sh Grab name of latest iso and stage3

  • get_minimal_cd.sh Download and verify latest minimal livecd

  • gentoocd_unpack.sh Unpacks and creates .ipxe script for testing

  • cdhelpers / gentoo_cd_bashrc_addon and cdupdate.sh Added to modified livecd by gentoocd_unpack, runs on logon (genkernel cds)

  • updates/root/.bashrc Injected and runs at login (Dracut) replaces gentoo_cd_bashrc_addon

  • install.sh Main Installation script

  • test_w_qemu.sh Virtual test machine helper, see script for some additional setup instructions and information

Run ./gentoocd_unpack.sh to unpack parts of iso (follow will tell what to do if no .iso is found) It adds script to cd start that runs the install automatically.

To make testing simple

For testing, give rm kvm_lxgentootest.qcow2; time sh test_w_qemu.sh auto useefi usenvme a try. When testing disk images will be recrated, so copy them to a safe place if you want to keep them.
