Installs Ubuntu to a new disk using bcachefs as the root partition
It assumes the following:
- You're in Ubuntu and connected to internet
- You have space for the kernel downloads and time for the compile
- You want to use an entire disk and boot using UEFI
- You want to use the defaults for format options
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lyamc/bcachefs-script/main/bcachefs-script.sh; chmod +x bcachefs-script.sh; ./bcachefs-script.sh
How to Use:
- Run it, choose "1", pray that the script works on whatever version of OS you have.
- Reboot
- Run it again, choose "2", pray some more
- Reboot into the newly installed OS.
Feel free to give me feedback, I don't know what I'm doing, I just keep doing things till they work. In the future I'll probably add a prompt for adding the formatting options.
Installs dependencies, builds and installs bcachefs-tools + kernel from latest git.
Note: This script assumes that you're running Ubuntu
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lyamc/bcachefs-script/main/bcachefs-update.sh; chmod +x bcachefs-update.sh; ./bcachefs-update.sh
Assuming you've already set up networking, the user, and sudo...
