#_preseed_V1

# Basic Debian9 (stretch) installer preseed file for Skolo machines. Assumes additional setup
# post-installation to reset the password for the chrome-bot user and overwrite
# /home/chrome-bot/.ssh/authorized_keys.

# Note this warning in the example file ("d-i" is an abbreviation for Debian installer):
#   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!

# Making a USB stick:
####################################################################################################
#   1. Create a modifiable Debian installer USB stick.
#     a. Download a Debian Installer CD ISO. Maybe helpful to include third-party firmware. (I used
#        debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-cinnamon+nonfree.iso.)
#     b. Format USB stick (replace "foo" with device name):
#        - sudo fdisk /dev/foo
#        - g (Create a new GPT)
#        - n (Create new partition)
#        - 1 (Partition number)
#        - Enter, enter (default start/end for max size)
#        - t (Change partition type)
#        - 1 (Select partition 1)
#        - 1 (EFI System)
#        - w (Write partition table)
#     c. sudo mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/foo1
#     d. Mount USB partition
#        - sudo mkdir /mnt/usb
#        - sudo mount /dev/foo1 /mnt/usb
#     e. Install GRUB to the USB EFI partition
#        - sudo grub-install --target x86_64-efi --efi-directory /mnt/usb/ --removable
#          --boot-directory=/mnt/usb/boot
#     f. Mount ISO
#        - sudo mkdir /mnt/iso
#        - sudo mount -o loop Downloads/debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-cinnamon+nonfree.iso /mnt/iso
#     g. Copy all files from ISO to USB (ISO has a dir named .disk that * doesn't match)
#        - sudo cp -R /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb/
#        - sudo cp -R /mnt/iso/.disk/ /mnt/usb/
#   2. Copy this file to the root of the USB stick.
#     - sudo cp debian9-preseed.cfg /mnt/usb/
#   3. Add/modify a menuentry in boot/grub/grub.cfg with "auto=true
#      file=/cdrom/debian9-preseed.cfg preseed-md5=<md5sum of debian9-preseed.cfg>"
#     - md5sum /mnt/usb/debian9-preseed.cfg
#     - sudo nano /mnt/usb/boot/grub/grub.cfg
#     - Add
#   menuentry "Preeseeded Debian Installer" {
#     linux  /d-i/vmlinuz auto=true file=/cdrom/debian9-preseed.cfg preseed-md5=... "${loopback}"
#     initrd /d-i/initrd.gz
#   }
#   4. Cleanup
#     - sudo umount /mnt/iso /mnt/usb
#     - sudo rmdir /mnt/iso /mnt/usb

### Localization
# Preseeding only locale sets language, country and locale.
d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US

# Keyboard selection.
d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select us

### 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

####################################################################################################
# For bots that have a wifi chip, we try to disable it in the BIOS. Some bots, like the Braswell
# NUC5PPYH, don't allow the wifi chip to be disabled, which means you must specify the network link
# you want to use (otherwise, the wifi might get selected which requires a WIFI prompt and other
# unwanted behavior). Unfortunately, the name "eth1" has more or less been deprecated and not used
# in modern Linux distros, so one has to specify the *exact* name here, requiring a different
# preseed config for different batches of bots. kjlubick simply made one for the Braswell bots with
# the line below instead of the "choose_interface select auto" line above.
#
# Alternatively, one can manually edit the boot line before starting the installer, or add more boot
# options to the menu with different network interfaces specified. See preseed docs for more info.
#d-i netcfg/choose_interface select enp3s0
####################################################################################################

# 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.

# Disable that annoying WEP key dialog.

### Partitioning

# 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

# 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.
