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 ### Mirror settings # If you select ftp, the mirror/country string does not need to be set. d-i mirror/protocol string https d-i mirror/country string manual d-i mirror/https/hostname string cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org d-i mirror/https/directory string /debian d-i mirror/https/proxy string d-i mirror/suite string bookworm ### Account setup # create root account for later d-i passwd/root-login boolean true # foobaristhebestpassword d-i passwd/root-password-crypted password $1$xyz$22TskSoY/HlFnsqCYCaNx1 # Alternatively, to skip creation of a normal user account. d-i passwd/make-user boolean false ### 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/Paris # Controls whether to use NTP to set the clock during the install d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean true # NTP server to use. The default is almost always fine here. #d-i clock-setup/ntp-server string ntp.example.com ### Partitioning ## Partitioning example # Alternatively, you may specify a disk to partition. 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 # 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. d-i partman-md/confirm boolean true 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 ### Apt setup # You can choose to install non-free and contrib software. d-i apt-setup/non-free boolean true d-i apt-setup/contrib boolean true d-i apt-setup/services-select multiselect security, updates, release updates d-i debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated boolean true # Add GPG keys d-i debian-installer/cdrom/keyring-path string /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg d-i debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated_ssl boolean true d-i debian-installer/allow_untrusted_ssl boolean true ### Package selection # Individual additional packages to install, customise this for your needs d-i pkgsel/include string binfmt-support debian-keyring openssh-server qemu-user-static ### Boot loader installation # 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 # This is how to make the installer shutdown when finished, but not # reboot into the installed system. #d-i debian-installer/exit/halt boolean true # This will power off the machine instead of just halting it. d-i debian-installer/exit/poweroff boolean true ### Preseeding other packages # Linux default command line: grub-pc grub2/linux_cmdline_default string # GRUB timeout; for internal use grub-pc grub-pc/timeout string 1 #### 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 in-target mkdir /root/.ssh ; in-target chmod 0700 /root/.ssh ; in-target wget -O /root/.ssh/authorized_keys http://10.0.2.2:4321/authorized_keys tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ssh-server d-i base-installer/install-recommends boolean false d-i base-installer/kernel/image select linux-image-amd64 d-i base-installer/initramfs-tools/driver-policy select dep d-i popularity-contest/participate boolean false
