# DebianZFS
DebianZFS is a bash script that automates a UEFI Debian installation on an encrypted ZFS pool. The script installs `zfsutils-linux` on Debian Live, then proceeds to partition, create the boot and root zpools, and [debootstraps](https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap) a minimal system.
Due to [licensing concerns with OpenZFS and Linux](https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/License.html), distributing the resulting binaries together in a disk image may be a copyright violation. However, nothing keeps you from legally building and keeping your own disk images.
- Requires packer and qemu to build images
### Quick Start

```
git clone https://git.krislamo.org/kris/debianzfs
