Usage

All features can be used on both Linux and Windows.

  • on Linux, execute bash reinstall.sh
  • on Windows, execute reinstall.bat

Feature 1: Install Linux

  • If no version number is entered, the latest version will be installed.
  • Does not include a boot partition (except for Fedora), nor a swap partition, maximizing disk space utilization.
  • On virtual machines, the appropriate official slimmed-down kernel will be automatically installed.
  • To install Red Hat, you need to provide the qcow2 image link obtained from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/rhel.
  • Username root, password 123@@@. It may take a few minutes for the password to take effect on the first boot.
bash reinstall.sh centos      9
                  anolis      7|8
                  alma        8|9
                  rocky       8|9
                  redhat      8|9   --img='http://xxx.com/xxx.qcow2'
                  opencloudos 8|9
                  oracle      7|8|9
                  fedora      39|40
                  nixos       24.05
                  debian      9|10|11|12
                  openeuler   20.03|22.03|24.03
                  alpine      3.17|3.18|3.19|3.20
                  opensuse    15.5|15.6|tumbleweed
                  ubuntu      16.04|18.04|20.04|22.04|24.04 [--minimal]
                  kali
                  arch
                  gentoo

Tip

When installing Debian / Kali, x86 architectures can monitor the installation progress through VNC in the background, while ARM architectures can use the serial console.

When installing other systems, can monitor the progress through various methods (SSH, HTTP 80 port, VNC in the background, serial console). Even if errors occur during the installation process, you can still install Alpine via SSH.

Experimental Features

Install Debian using a cloud image, suitable for machines with slower CPUs

bash reinstall.sh debian --ci

Install CentOS, Alma, Rocky, Fedora using ISO, only supports machines with more than 2G of memory and dynamic IP

bash reinstall.sh centos --installer

Install Ubuntu using ISO, only supports machines with more than 1G of memory and dynamic IP

bash reinstall.sh ubuntu --installer

Feature 2: DD

  • Supports raw, vhd images or those compressed with xz or gzip.
  • When deploy a Windows image, the system disk will be expanded, and machines with static IPs will have their IPs configured. However, it may take a few minutes after the first boot for the configuration to take effect.
  • When deploy a Linux image, the script will not modify any contents of the image.
bash reinstall.sh dd --img https://example.com/xxx.xz

Tip

Can monitor the progress through various methods (SSH, HTTP 80 port, VNC in the background, serial console). Even if errors occur during the installation process, you can still install Alpine via SSH.

Feature 3: Reboot to Alpine Rescue System (Live OS)

  • You can use SSH to manually perform DD operations, modify partitions, and manually install Alpine, Arch, Gentoo, and other systems.
  • Username root, password 123@@@
  • If the disk content is not modified, rebooting again will return to the original system.
bash reinstall.sh alpine --hold=1

Feature 4: Reboot to netboot.xyz

  • Can install more systems using vendor backend VNC.
  • If the disk content is not modified, rebooting again will return to the original system.
bash reinstall.sh netboot.xyz

netboot.xyz

Feature 5: Install Windows ISO

  • Username administrator, password 123@@@
  • If remote login fails, try using the username .\administrator.
  • The machine with a static IP will automatically configure the IP. It may take a few minutes to take effect on the first boot.

Method 1: Allow the script to automatically find the ISO

bash reinstall.sh windows \
     --image-name 'Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021' \
     --lang zh-cn

Method 2: Specify the ISO link manually

  • If you don’t know the --image-name, you can enter any value. After rebooting, connect via SSH and re-enter the correct value based on the error messages.
bash reinstall.sh windows \
     --image-name 'Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021' \
     --iso 'https://drive.massgrave.dev/en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96.iso'

Important

Note that parameters should be enclosed in quotation marks.

The following website provides iso links.

Only some ARM machines support installing Windows 11:
✔️ Azure (Hyper-V)
✔️ Alibaba Cloud g8y c8y r8y (KVM)
❌ Alibaba Cloud g6r c6r (KVM)
❌ Oracle Cloud (KVM)
❌ Google Cloud (KVM)
❌ AWS (KVM)

Warning

In the Chinese version of Windows 10 LTSC 2021 ISO zh-cn_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_033b7312.iso, the wsappx process may indefinitely consume CPU resources.

The solution is to update the system patches or manually install the VCLibs library https://www.google.com/search?q=ltsc+wsappx.

How to Modify the Script

  1. Fork this repository.
  2. Modify the confhome and confhome_cn at the beginning of reinstall.sh and reinstall.bat.
