Fedora Setup

How to use

I'm assuming you have just installed fedora successfully.

1. Close this repo, you can do a shallow clone if you wish (by adding --depth=1 to the following command).

   $ git clone https://github.com/nico-castell/Fedora-Setup.git

2. (Optional) The main branch is always under development. If you want to use the latest stable version (which will be tagged), use the following commands:

   $ git checkout $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0) # Go to the last tag
   $ git checkout main                              # Go back to main

3. (Optional) Look at the instuctions in the gnome_apperance.sh script, and configure the file structure for the script to set up the GNOME appearance with your themes.

   scripts
   └── themes
       ├── background
       │   └── image.png
       ├── cursor
       │   └── cursor.tar.gz
       ├── icons
       │   └── icons.tar.gz
       └── theme
           └── theme.tar.gz
   

4. (Optional) If you plan on building a minecraft server, you should check that the $download_link and $version variables are up to date.
5. Run the fedora_setup.sh script.

   $ cd /path/to/cloned_repo
   $ ./fedora_setup.sh
   $ ./fedora_setup.sh -f # Load package choices from temporary file

   The first thing the script will do is ask for your sudo password. (It's needed to install packages, write to /etc/profile.d, configure ufw and a few more things). Do not run it as sudo (sudo ./fedora_setup.sh).
6. Follow the instructions asked by the script.
7. Wait, (yes, I know it sounds boring) as the script runs, it can, and will, prompt for further instructions.

Keep in mind

• You must have an internet connection to run the script.
• The script has no support for NVIDIA, meaning no drivers, no configurations, nothing, nada.

Biggest features

This project can set up some powerful features, such as:

• Advanced, stylized prompts for the Z-Shell:

  

• Powerline plugin for the Vim editor:

  

• Setting up GnuPG to sign Git commits:

  

• An easily expandable list of packages for the script to install: packages.txt
• Desktop entry files that you can add at your convenience.
• A script to switch from grub to systemd-boot.
• A script to set up a minecraft server.
• A script to back up your home directory.

Known issues

1. duc_noip_install.sh: The installer can't seem to understand symbols when typing a password in the terminal, at least on my tests, this script opens gedit for you to copy/paste your password and work around the issue.
2. mc_server_builder.sh: The link to download the latest version of the server must be manually updated for every minecraft release. You'll find the download_link and version under a TODO in the script.
