The major steps to installing these are…¹

• Preseeding
  • Preseed a Debian installation with .preseed (served at squigzy.github.io/.preseed)
    
  • The preseed fetches this repo, enables autologin, installs ~/.bashrc, and creates a blank ~/.init file
    
  • After OS installation, on the first login, ~/.bashrc will see ~/.init and call .setup/init.sh, which will orchestrate installation & configuration
    
• Installing
  • The first script init.sh calls is .setup/install.sh, which installs various packages with apt, and runs some software-specific install scripts, such as for i3-gaps
• Configuring
  • After installation, init.sh calls .setup/config.sh, which symlinks various config files to their appropriate locations, and handles things like creating/removing directories or restarting services when appropriate
• Final Steps & Cleanup
  • Temporary files such as for building are stored in /tmp and should be cleaned up by the OS
  • Before exiting, init.sh will prompt the user to run a further backup script to restore sensitive files (i.e., SSH keys)
  • Once the above scripts have finished, ~/.init is removed by ~/.bashrc
  • Finally, the script will prompt the user to reboot
