Server Bootstrap Generator

Generate a one-liner for a fresh server. Prefer Git clone for long-term use; use ZIP as fallback when repo access is not ready yet.

If this generator serves private setup files, protect it with Cloudflare Access.

Hostname

Timezone

Recommended for host servers: UTC

Deploy user

Install directory

SSH port

bootstrap.sh sets sshd to this port and opens it in UFW. Keep your current session open until you confirm the new port works.

Authorized SSH keys for the deploy user

One key per line. Written to ~deploy/.ssh/authorized_keys. Carried in the URL as base64 so keys never break it.

Git repository URL

Git branch

ZIP root folder

ZIP fallback URL

Local ZIP endpoint: https://www.bootstrap.gdev.at/download/server-config.zip

Prefer Git clone, fall back to ZIP

Run repository bootstrap.sh after fetching config

Enable mail ports (ENABLE_MAIL_PORTS=1) — only if this server hosts mail
