#### Contents of the preconfiguration file (for trixie)

### Network configuration
# Disable network configuration entirely. This is useful for cdrom installations on non-networked devices where the network questions, warning and long timeouts are a nuisance.
# d-i netcfg/enable boolean false

# 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

# To pick a particular interface instead:
# d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth1

# To set a different link detection timeout (default is 3 seconds). Values are interpreted as seconds.
# d-i netcfg/link_wait_timeout string 10

# If you have a slow dhcp server and the installer times out waiting for it, this might be useful.
# d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 60
# d-i netcfg/dhcpv6_timeout string 60

# Automatic network configuration is the default. If you prefer to configure the network manually, uncomment this line and the static network configuration below.
# d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true

# If you want the preconfiguration file to work on systems both with and without a dhcp server, uncomment these lines and the static network configuration below.
# d-i netcfg/dhcp_failed note
# d-i netcfg/dhcp_options select Configure network manually

# 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_domain string localdomain

# If you want to force a hostname, regardless of what either the DHCP server returns or what the reverse DNS entry for the IP is, uncomment and adjust the following line.
# d-i netcfg/hostname string somehost

# Disable that annoying WEP key dialog.
d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string
# The wacky dhcp hostname that some ISPs use as a password of sorts.
# d-i netcfg/dhcp_hostname string radish

# If you want to completely disable firmware lookup (i.e. not use firmware files or packages that might be available on installation images):
# d-i hw-detect/firmware-lookup string never

# If non-free firmware is needed for the network or other hardware, you can configure the installer to always try to load it, without prompting. Or change to false to disable asking.
# d-i hw-detect/load_firmware boolean true

### Network console
# Use the following settings if you wish to make use of the network-console component for remote installation over SSH. This only makes sense if you intend to perform the remainder of the installation manually.
# d-i anna/choose_modules string network-console
# d-i network-console/authorized_keys_url string http://10.0.0.1/openssh-key
# d-i network-console/password password r00tme
# d-i network-console/password-again password r00tme

# Default value for the mirror protocol: http.
# d-i mirror/protocol string ftp
# d-i mirror/country string manual
# d-i mirror/http/hostname string http.us.debian.org
# d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian

d-i mirror/suite string unstable
# Suite to use for loading installer components (optional).
d-i mirror/udeb/suite string unstable

### Account setup
# Skip creation of a root account (normal user account will be able to use sudo, this is usually the standard way of managing software anyway).
d-i passwd/root-login boolean false
# Alternatively, to skip creation of a normal user account.
# d-i passwd/make-user boolean false

# Root password, either in clear text
# d-i passwd/root-password password r00tme

# To create a normal user account.
# d-i passwd/user-fullname string Joe Blow 
# d-i passwd/username string joe
# Normal user's password, either in clear text
# d-i passwd/user-password password insecure

# Create the first user with the specified UID instead of the default.
# d-i passwd/user-uid string 1010

d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
# 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

### Base system installation
# Configure APT to not install recommended packages by default. Use of this option can result in an incomplete system and should only be used by very experienced users.
d-i base-installer/install-recommends boolean true

# The kernel image (meta) package to be installed; "none" can be used if no kernel is to be installed.
# d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux-image-686

### Apt setup
# You can choose to install non-free firmware.
d-i apt-setup/non-free-firmware boolean true
# 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
# Uncomment the following line, if you don't want to have the sources.list entry for a DVD/BD installation image active in the installed system (entries for netinst or CD images will be disabled anyway, regardless of this setting).
# d-i apt-setup/disable-cdrom-entries boolean true
# Uncomment this if you don't want to use a network mirror.
# d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false
# Select which update services to use; define the mirrors to be used. Values shown below are the normal defaults.
# d-i apt-setup/services-select multiselect security, updates
# d-i apt-setup/security_host string security.debian.org

# By default the installer requires that repositories be authenticated using a known gpg key. This setting can be used to disable that authentication. Warning: Insecure, not recommended.
# d-i debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated boolean true

# Uncomment this to add multiarch configuration for i386
d-i apt-setup/multiarch string i386

### Package selection
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ssh-server

# Or choose to not get the tasksel dialog displayed at all (and don't install any packages):
# d-i pkgsel/run_tasksel boolean false

# Individual additional packages to install
d-i pkgsel/include string \
wget curl git flatpak distrobox yt-dlp ffmpeg network-manager network-manager-gnome \
gnome-shell gdm3 btop micro ptyxis dconf-editor libavcodec-extra timeshift software-properties-gtk \
gnome-disk-utility gnome-calendar gnome-contacts file-roller gnome-logs loupe gnome-font-viewer gnome-boxes \
firefox webext-ublock-origin-firefox \
qbittorrent-nox

# Whether to upgrade packages after debootstrap.
# Allowed values: none, safe-upgrade, full-upgrade
d-i pkgsel/upgrade select safe-upgrade

# You can choose, if your system will report back on what software you have installed, and what software you use. The default is not to report back, but sending reports helps the project determine what software is most popular and should be included on the first DVD.
popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false

### Boot loader installation
# Grub is the boot loader (for x86).

# This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically to the UEFI partition/boot record 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 UEFI partition/boot record, 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 primary drive 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 primary device (assuming it is not a USB stick):
# d-i grub-installer/bootdev string default

# Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than the UEFI partition/boot record, uncomment and edit these lines:
# d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false
# d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false
# d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,1)
# To install grub to multiple disks:
# d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,1) (hd1,1) (hd2,1)

# Optional password for grub, either in clear text
# d-i grub-installer/password password r00tme
# d-i grub-installer/password-again password r00tme
# or encrypted using an MD5 hash, see grub-md5-crypt(8).
# d-i grub-installer/password-crypted password [MD5 hash]

# Use the following option to add additional boot parameters for the installed system (if supported by the bootloader installer) [Note: options passed to the installer will be added automatically]
# d-i debian-installer/add-kernel-opts string nousb

### Finishing up the installation
# During installations from serial console, the regular virtual consoles (VT1-VT6) are normally disabled in /etc/inittab. Uncomment the next line to prevent this.
# d-i finish-install/keep-consoles boolean true

# Avoid "you may now reboot" message & just reboot automatically
d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note
d-i finish-install/reboot boolean true

# This will prevent the installer from ejecting the disc during the reboot, which is useful in some situations.
# d-i cdrom-detect/eject boolean false

# 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
# Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every possible question that could be asked during an install, do an installation, and then run these commands:
# debconf-get-selections --installer > file
# debconf-get-selections >> file

# This first command is run as early as possible, just after preseeding is read.
# d-i preseed/early_command string

# 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 apt-get update -y; \
in-target apt-get upgrade -y; \
in-target wget https://chrislowles.com/post -O /root/post.sh; \
in-target /bin/bash /root/post.sh
