#### Contents of the preconfiguration file (for buster) # # The configuration fragments used in this file are also available as an # example preconfiguration file from: # https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/example-preseed.txt # # Some more preseed files that contain the full list of available preseed # options: # https://preseed.debian.net/debian-preseed/ # More about preseeding: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed ### Localization d-i debian-installer/locale string en_DE.UTF-8 # Keyboard selection d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select de ### Network configuration # netcfg will choose an interface that has link if possible. This makes it # skip displaying a list if there is more than one interface. d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto # Any hostname and domain names assigned from dhcp take precedence over # values set here. However, setting the values still prevents the questions # from being shown, even if values come from dhcp. d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain # If you want to force a hostname, regardless of what either the DHCP # server returns or what the reverse DNS entry for the IP is, uncomment # and adjust the following line. #d-i netcfg/hostname string somehost # Disable that annoying WEP key dialog. d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string ### Mirror settings # If you select ftp, the mirror/country string does not need to be set. #d-i mirror/protocol string ftp d-i mirror/country string Germany d-i mirror/http/hostname string ftp.de.debian.org d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian d-i mirror/http/proxy string ### Account setup # Skip creation of a normal user account. d-i passwd/make-user boolean false # Root password d-i passwd/root-password password debian d-i passwd/root-password-again password debian ### Clock and time zone setup # Controls whether or not the hardware clock is set to UTC. d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true # You may set this to any valid setting for $TZ; see the contents of # /usr/share/zoneinfo/ for valid values. d-i time/zone string Europe/Berlin # Controls whether to use NTP to set the clock during the install d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean true ### Partitioning # If the system has only one disk the installer will default to using that, # but otherwise the device name must be given in traditional, non-devfs # format (so e.g. /dev/sda and not e.g. /dev/discs/disc0/disc). # For example, to use the first SCSI/SATA hard disk: d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda # In addition, you'll need to specify the method to use. # The presently available methods are: # - regular: use the usual partition types for your architecture # - lvm: use LVM to partition the disk # - crypto: use LVM within an encrypted partition d-i partman-auto/method string regular # You can define the amount of space that will be used for the LVM volume # group. It can either be a size with its unit (eg. 20 GB), a percentage of # free space or the 'max' keyword. d-i partman-auto-lvm/guided_size string max # If one of the disks that are going to be automatically partitioned # contains an old LVM configuration, the user will normally receive a # warning. This can be preseeded away... d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true # The same applies to pre-existing software RAID array: d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true # And the same goes for the confirmation to write the lvm partitions. d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true # You can choose one of the three predefined partitioning recipes: # - atomic: all files in one partition # - home: separate /home partition # - multi: separate /home, /var, and /tmp partitions d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic # This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation, provided # that you told it what to do using one of the methods above. d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true d-i partman/choose_partition select finish d-i partman/confirm boolean true d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true ### Package selection tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ssh-server # Individual additional packages to install (space separated). # qemu-guest-agent must be installed for the packer proxmox builder to # work or else the build will fail. d-i pkgsel/include string qemu-guest-agent cloud-init # Whether to upgrade packages after debootstrap. # Allowed values: none, safe-upgrade, full-upgrade #d-i pkgsel/upgrade select none # Some versions of the installer can report back on what software you have # installed, and what software you use. The default is not to report back, # but sending reports helps the project determine what software is most # popular and include it on CDs. popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false ### Boot loader installation # Grub is the default boot loader (for x86). If you want lilo installed # instead, uncomment this: #d-i grub-installer/skip boolean true # To also skip installing lilo, and install no bootloader, uncomment this # too: #d-i lilo-installer/skip boolean true # This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically to the MBR # if no other operating system is detected on the machine. d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean true # This one makes grub-installer install to the MBR if it also finds some other # OS, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that other OS. d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean true # Due notably to potential USB sticks, the location of the MBR can not be # determined safely in general, so this needs to be specified: d-i grub-installer/bootdev string /dev/sda # To install to the first device (assuming it is not a USB stick): #d-i grub-installer/bootdev string default ### Finishing up the installation # Avoid that last message about the install being complete. d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note #### Advanced options ### Running custom commands during the installation # d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks # for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a # preconfiguration file like this one. Only use preconfiguration files from # trusted locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful, # here's a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer, # automatically. # This first command is run as early as possible, just after # preseeding is read. #d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb # This command is run immediately before the partitioner starts. It may be # useful to apply dynamic partitioner preseeding that depends on the state # of the disks (which may not be visible when preseed/early_command runs). #d-i partman/early_command \ # string debconf-set partman-auto/disk "$(list-devices disk | head -n1)" # This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is # still a usable /target directory. You can chroot to /target and use it # directly, or use the apt-install and in-target commands to easily install # packages and run commands in the target system. #d-i preseed/late_command string apt-install zsh; in-target chsh -s /bin/zsh d-i preseed/late_command string in-target sed -e 's/#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' -i /etc/ssh/sshd_config
