Bash setup script for Ubuntu servers

This is a setup script to automate the setup and provisioning of Ubuntu servers. This is based on code from https://github.com/jasonheecs/ubuntu-server-setup and https://gist.github.com/waleedahmad/a5b17e73c7daebdd048f823c68d1f57a.

It does the following:

• Updates APT and upgrades installed Ubuntu packages
• Installs build-essentials and other Python build prerequisites
• Installs ZSH, ZSH-oh-my-god, powerlevel10k theme and addins
• Copies pre-configured powerlevel10k configuration
• Installs pyenv and related tools for Python virtual envs
• Optional installation of MySQL, PostgreSQL-14, NGINX and Zip/Unzip (more to come)
• Setup the timezone for the server (Default to "America/Chicago")
• Asks to change default shell to zsh

Installation

SSH into your server and install git if it is not installed:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

Clone this repository into your home directory:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/brthurr/ubuntu-server-setup.git

Run the setup script

cd ubuntu-server-setup
bash setup.sh

Setup prompts

Most of this installation is automated.

You will be prompted to install MySQL, etc. with whiptail. These are optional.

Finally, you will be prompted to specify a timezone for the server. It will be set to 'America/Chicago' if you do not specify a value.

Supported versions

This setup script has been tested against Ubuntu 22.04.
