Switch branches/tags

Name already in use

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Are you sure you want to create this branch?

Boot into a live system, and make sure grml-debootstrap is installed. For example, write the grml ISO, for example daily snapshot to a USB storage device.

sudo dd if=grml64-full_sid_latest.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4194304 conv=sync

Create three partitions with gdisk:

  1. 1 GB EFI System Partition (ESP) of type EF00
  2. 1 GB partition 8300 (Linux filesystem) for /boot
  3. rest for partition 8304 Linux x86-64 root (/) (https://systemd.io/DISCOVERABLE_PARTITIONS/)
  4. 8 GB swap partition

Maybe use boot loader partition:

Command (? for help): t
Partition number (1-3): 2
Current type is 'Linux filesystem'
Hex code or GUID (L to show codes, Enter = 8300): bc13c2ff-59e6-4262-a352-b275fd6f7172
Changed type of partition to 'Freedesktop $BOOT'

Do not forget to run partprobe to notify the Linux kernel about the partition table change.

Or, with sgdisk:

sudo sgdisk --zap --new=1:0:+1G /dev/nvme0n1 -t 0:ef00 --new=2:0:+1G -t 0:8300 --new=3:0:-8G -t 0:8304 --new=4:0:0 -t 0:8200 -p

Format partitions:

$ sudo mkfs.fat -F32 -nESP /dev/nvme0n1p1
mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24)
$ sudo mkswap /dev/nvme0n1p4
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 -L boot /dev/nvme0n1p2
[…]
$ sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/nvme0n1p3
$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p3 nvme0n1p3_crypt

Clone repository:

$ git clone https://github.molgen.mpg.de/pmenzel/grml-debootstrap-config
$ cd grml-debootstrap-config

Check file config, and update hostname and root password. Update the user details in chroot-scripts/20-add-user.sh.

Install Debian sid/unstable with the command below:

DEBOOTSTRAP=mmdebstrap sudo grml-debootstrap -c config --efi /dev/nvme0n1p1 --chroot-scripts chroot-scripts --packages packages

Mount system and enter with chroot:

$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/nvme0n1p3_crypt /mnt

Move files from /mnt/boot to /dev/nvme0n1p2:

$ sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/tmp
$ sudo mv /mnt/boot/* /mnt/tmp
$ sudo umount /mnt/tmp
$ sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/boot
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
$ sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
$ sudo grml-chroot /mnt bash

Edit /etc/fstab to add the boot partition.

/dev/nvme0n1p2  /boot       auto    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0   1

Edit /etc/crypttab to add the root partition:

nvme0n1p3_crypt	UUID=<in lsblk -O>	none		luks

Update initrd and install GRUB:

$ sudo update-initramfs -c -k all
$ sudo grub-install
$ sudo update-grub
