Linux_post_install — Personal Bootstrap & Homelab Toolkit
One command turns a bare Debian/Ubuntu install into a fully productive machine.
What is this
After reinstalling Linux you usually need to install packages, set up SSH, configure a firewall, and install apps. This repo automates all of that in one go.
It is a personal toolkit — a bootstrap script, a unified pos CLI for everyday tasks, optional app installers, and self-hosted services via ScaleTail + Tailscale.
What you get:
- 25+ system packages installed automatically
- The
posCLI: network, Docker, media, system, SSH, communication (Telegram), and vbox tools - Wi-Fi hotspot tools (
create_ap,wihotspot-gui) viapos network hotspot - 15 optional desktop apps (VS Code, Brave, OBS, Tailscale, …) — pick what you want
- 119+ self-hosted services with Tailscale access (Jellyfin, Home Assistant, …)
- systemd services for SSH agent and boot-time automation
- Everything lands in
/usr/local/bin/— you can delete the repo after install
