Bootstrap

This repository bootstraps a GNU/Linux environment from a fresh installation. It will set up an SSH server with a static IP placing my SSH keys into the root user's .ssh folder. If you run this script unmodified by following the instructions exactly below you may end up granting me root access to your machines, which is likely not your intention. If you like this script, fork this repository and replace the authorized_keys file with your public SSH keys and change the GIT_LOC bash variable in bootstrap.sh to your repository's location. Then download the script and run it from your repository.

The purpose of this is to allow me to quickly put a machine online in an accessible manner before provisioning it. This is mainly targeted at fresh Debian installations.
