ongardie's config files

This repo contains instructions and configuration files for setting up Linux systems. These reflect my own preferences, but you might find useful snippets in here, too.

Some of the files in this repo begin with a dot, so use ls -a to see them.

System configuration

  • debian-on-zfs.md has instructions for installing Debian with ZFS.
  • hardware contains some reference and quirks about specific hardware I use.
  • apt has instructions for setting up APT for Debian Bookworm.
  • ufw.md has instructions for setting up a firewall.
  • ssh.md has instructions for setting up an SSH server.
  • wireguard.md has instructions for setting up a VPN.
  • user-account.md has instructions for adding system users.

Debian packages

debian-base contains useful Debian Bookworm packages for both servers and workstations. You can install these packages with:

sudo apt install $(sed 's/#.*//' debian-base)

debian-desktop contains useful packages for graphical desktops/laptops. You can install these packages with:

sudo apt install $(sed 's/#.*//' debian-desktop)

CLI configuration

The shell and UNIX-y configurations are mostly shared with Cubicle configs, with quite a bit of layering. This includes:

  • Bash,
  • Zsh,
  • vim,
  • git,
  • and some miscellany.

Use install.py to easily flatten the layers and install these configs on the host:

mkdir -p ~/opt
git clone https://github.com/ongardie/cubicle/ ~/opt/cubicle
./install.py --cubicle ~/opt/cubicle --dry-run

Review what this would do, then drop the --dry-run.

Desktop

I usually use lightdm with Xfce (see xfce.md) and the Notion window manager (see .notion). An older .xsession script is an alternative to avoid some or all of Xfce (for more minimal setups or very resource-constrained machines).

See hidpi.md for high-resolution displays.

See flatpak for sandboxed Desktop applications.

See firefox.md for configuring Firefox, which I usually install via Flatpak.

To enable audio for your user account:

systemctl --user enable --now pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber

Backups

See restic for setting up backups.
