Unbox server setup script

---

Unbox is a simple set up script used to quickly set up a new ubuntu server with my configs. It automatically installs my most used software and services, nice to haves and renames the server to something more meaningful. I have only tested it on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and higher, but it should work with any other distro that uses the apt package manager.

What does it do?

The script will:

• Install and setup zsh
• Add my custom zshrc, aliases and minimal nvim configs
• Add zsh-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions
• Install eza (an 'ls' replacement)
• Change hostname to the given value. (A server restart is required for the changes to take effect)
• Install the following packages by default:
  • ripgrep (required)
  • fd-find (required)
  • fzf (required)
  • eza (required)
  • zsh
  • nginx
  • certbot
  • python3-certbot-nginx
  • postgresql
  • python3-virtualenv
  • sqlite3
  • webp
  • redis
  • net-tools
  • python3-pip
  • libpangocairo-1.0-0
  • htop
  • man
  • neovim

Usage

The script requires a user with sudo priviledges and the wget utility, so make sure those are setup first.

One liner

If you want to use the script as is by default, run:

sudo bash -c $(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keystroke3/Unbox/main/setup.sh)

With modified packages

You can add or remove the packages by modifying the packages array in setup.sh before running it.
To do so, download the script like so:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keystroke3/Unbox/main/setup.sh > setup.sh

Make modifications that you want but make sure you keep the packages marked with 'required' as listed above. if you don't want to keep these packages, then you should delete the .aliases file.

sudo bash setup.sh
