Auto provision a new linux Ubuntu or Debian install with scripting tools and other handy items

Hi there 👋

Who am I?

Grant Ramsay, also known as 'Seapagan'. Coder, Dev-ops, Full-Stack developer and unashamed Trekkie.

I have been programming in one form or other since I was 10 (ZX81 BASIC FTW), which is over 40 years of wrist strain and no dates.

For 27 years of this time I also had an amazing life and career in the offshore Oil and Gas Industry working on (and then running) Seismic Survey Ships, traveling almost the whole world and finding new and unique local customs to be arrested for breaking, usually while imbibing new and unique local alcohol. I was a Doodlebugger, it's a lifestyle not a job.

Those days are way past now and I have returned to coding as a way of life. I am fascinated with new technologies and continuously want to learn more and more.

My current languages of choice are Python, HTML/CSS etc, React, Vanilla Javascript and Ruby (though I spend less time using the latter these days sadly).

I'm also trying to improve my Frontend skills using the Frontend Mentor challenges. These will be stored in a GitHub Organization I created specifically for this purpose, to keep the noise down in my main account. Find them here.

I also have more public repositories on my @gnramsay account

nginx install fails under Raspian 'bookworm'

Describe the bug

Nginx 'extras' package (nginx-extras) fails to install when selected.

To Reproduce
Install the latest Raspian OS to a PI and run the script.

Expected behaviour
Install with no errors

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

There is also an issue with php8.1 :

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

                       Depends: phpapi-20210902:armhf
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Both packages are from the sury.net compilations.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Device: Raspberry PI 5
• OS: Raspbian Bookworm 64bit

Ran in headless mode over SSH. This is the cut-down version, so needs re-testing with the full desktop install

Script fails after Ruby install

Describe the bug
Script fails after running the ruby install script

To Reproduce

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Detect if running under WSL (Windows Subsytem to Linux)

I'd like to add logic to test if we are running under WSL, then we can install the ubuntu-wsl package and perhaps make other choices (i.e. refuse to install any Docker stuff and point to Docker Desktop instead. I'm sure there are other tweaks that can be made too.

For my notes :

read var </proc/sys/kernel/osrelease

Then check the var for microsoft or WSL

The latest value from this is 5.4.72-microsoft-standard-WSL2

Rbenv, Pyenv etc only work for Bash shell

Describe the bug

Rbenv, Pyenv etc. only work for Bash shell - Zsh and others use a different config that needs to be edited.

It should be easy enough to detect the shell and then choose the correct config file from that. From memory, Pyenv and other systems setup commands work the same for every shell.

Doesn't work well on an actual Debian installation.

Describe the bug

Doesn't work well on an actual Debian installation d/t hardcoding of 'Ubuntu' in some scripts. Also, using PPA's is an Ubuntu thing.

To Reproduce
Run the script on a base Debian installation.

Expected behaviour
The script should work with minimal/no errors.

Ruby install fails on Ubuntu 22.04

Ruby < 3.1 install fails on Ubuntu 22.04

OpenSSL version in Ubuntu 22.04 is incompatible with any ruby below version 3

To Reproduce

Run the script, fails at Ruby install

There is a workaround here which I will integrate into the script in time

Thoughts :

• check the version of OpenSSL on running the script to see if the workaround is required
• install if so, and then only apply to the Ruby versions that need it
