 Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2017 5:17 am Post subject: Gentoo Install Script |
 |
|
I have written a script which I use to automate most of the steps in the Gentoo handbook: https://github.com/nathanshearer/gentooinstall
Some of the features I find most useful are:
- Cryptographic verification of the stage3 hash and signature
- Foreign architecture support via qemu dynamic translation (i486, i686, x86_64, armv4, armv5, armv6, armv6hf, armv7, armv7hf, aarch64, ppc, ppc64)
- Automatic partitioning and mounting of the destination block device
- Automatic compilation of the kernel
- Automatic installation of the bootloader
- An armbian2gentoo wrapper script that converts an armbian image into a clean gentoo image
Using the script is very simple:
| Code: | | # gentooinstall -d /mnt/gentoo -t "Canada/Mountain" |
| Code: | | # gentooinstall -d /mnt/gentoo -a armv7hf -t "Canada/Mountain" |
| Code: | # gentooinstall -b /dev/sdzz -p partition,mount
# gentooinstall -t "Canada/Mountain"
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# ...customize your kernel as you like
# exit
# gentooinstall -p bootloader,fstab |

Some of the key features I find most useful are:
- Both stage3 hash and cryptographic verification (I always skipped those step during manual installs)
- Foreign architecture support via qemu dynamic translation
- An armbian2gentoo wrapper script that converts an armbian image into a clean gentoo image
Using the script is very simple:
| Code: | | # gentooinstall -d /mnt/gentoo -t "Canada/Mountain" |

thanks for share and does this script compile kernel automaticly？ |

dinominant,
Cool idea, armbian2gentoo. Thanks!
I have tried it with and without the -a option but there are errors as shown below. As my scripting skills are poor I have no idea where the problem is.

It does have a kernel phase which installs and compiles gentoo-sources with its default kernel options. I don't have a bootloader phase with efistub/lilo/grub yet so that still has to be done manually.

I've added some better output for the gentooinstall script related to aarch64 and arm64. Currently it's an unsupported architecture, but armv7hf should work on those platforms until arm64 is working. I was able to run this command on my x86_64 host (which has qemu dynamic translation setup and working already):
| Code: | | armbian2gentoo -i https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipc/Ubuntu_xenial_default.7z -o test.img -p stage3,stage3digest,stage3hash,extract,dynamictranslation,deletestage3,resolvconf,mountchroot,portage,timezone,locale,password |

Any kernel should work. I typically either use a vanilla-sources kernel then build in whatever drivers I need to boot leaving the rest enabled as modules. I have plans on adding support for my kernelseeds script https://github.com/nathanshearer/kernelseeds but until that is completed I just skip the kernel phase and do that step manually. |

I have been using this scrypt for over a year now, and I think it is time to set the version to 1.0.0.0.
I still have many items on my todo list for this script which I plan to add in the future:
- Additional bootloader configurations (for uefi systems with kernel stub andor refind)
- A more capable kernel configuration in addition to the default config
- An assimilation option which will merge the armbian2gentoo functionality into the main script, allowing conversion of arbitrary images into Gentoo images

hi,I used this script for several times.I think the partition should be mounted before the script is executed, otherwise there will be an error with insufficient partition capacity. |

Thanks for the feedback. I have now updated it to version 2 which now automatically mounts and partitions if the destination is empty, among other improvements. |
