# ITenv Tools - Tool Documentation

This directory contains various utility scripts for server management, disk operations, and git repository management. Each tool is designed for specific infrastructure tasks.

## Tools Overview

### 1. erase.sh
**Purpose**: Secure disk erasure utility for SSD drives

**What it does**:
- Detects all SSD drives on the system (excludes traditional HDDs)
- Provides interactive menu to erase specific disks or all detected SSDs
- Handles RAID array detection and cleanup before erasure
- Removes RAID superblocks from partitions
- Securely wipes the first 1GB and last 1MB of selected disks
- Destroys partition tables and filesystem headers

**Safety Features**:
- Multiple confirmation prompts before destructive operations
- Root privilege verification
- Automatic unmounting of active filesystems
- RAID array stopping before disk erasure

**Usage**: 
```bash
sudo ./erase.sh
```

**⚠️ WARNING**: This tool permanently destroys all data on selected disks. Use with extreme caution!

### 2. git_checkout.sh
**Purpose**: Git repository management for itenv projects

**What it does**:
- Verifies SSH agent has loaded keys for git authentication
- Checks and configures git user.name and user.email if not set
- Creates the standard directory structure: `/root/code/git.threefold.info/ourworld_web`
- Clones or updates two repositories:
  - `itenv_web2` - Main web application repository
  - `itenv_tools` - Tools and utilities repository

**Prerequisites**:
- SSH key must be loaded in ssh-agent
- Git must be installed
- Access to git.threefold.info repositories

**Usage**:
```bash
./git_checkout.sh
```

### 3. git_push.sh
**Purpose**: Quick git commit and push utility

**What it does**:
- Navigates to the parent directory of the tools folder
- Stages all changes (`git add . -A`)
- Creates a commit with message "init"
- Pushes changes to the remote repository

**Usage**:
```bash
./git_push.sh
```

**Note**: This is a simple automation script for quick commits. For production use, consider more descriptive commit messages.

### 4. ubuntu_install.sh
**Purpose**: Automated Ubuntu 24.04 installation for Hetzner dedicated servers

**What it does**:
- Detects available NVMe drives (requires minimum 2 drives)
- Creates Hetzner installimage configuration for Ubuntu 24.04
- Sets up btrfs filesystem with RAID 1 across two drives
- Configures btrfs subvolumes for better organization:
  - `@` (root filesystem)
  - `@home` (/home)
  - `@var` (/var)
  - `@var/log` (/var/log)
  - `@tmp` (/tmp)
  - `@opt` (/opt)
  - `@srv` (/srv)
  - `@snapshots` (/.snapshots)
- Creates post-installation scripts for:
  - btrfs optimization and maintenance
  - Automatic snapshot management with snapper
  - RAID monitoring utilities

**Features**:
- RAID 1 for data redundancy
- btrfs compression (zstd:3) for space efficiency
- Automated weekly balance and scrub operations
- Snapshot management with configurable retention

**Prerequisites**:
- Must be run from Hetzner rescue system
- Requires at least 2 NVMe drives
- installimage must be available

**Usage**:
```bash
./ubuntu_install.sh
```

**⚠️ WARNING**: This script will completely wipe the selected drives and install a fresh Ubuntu system.

### 5. example_autoconfig/autoconfig
**Purpose**: Example configuration file for Hetzner installimage

**What it contains**:
- Sample configuration for Ubuntu 24.04 installation
- RAID 1 setup with two Samsung NVMe drives
- Standard partition layout:
  - 4GB swap partition
  - 1024MB /boot partition (ext3)
  - Remaining space for root filesystem (ext4)
- Network and hostname configuration examples
- Comments explaining all configuration options

**Usage**: 
This file serves as a template and reference for creating custom installimage configurations. Copy and modify as needed for specific server setups.

```

## Security Considerations

- **erase.sh**: Requires root privileges and permanently destroys data
- **git_checkout.sh**: Requires SSH key access to private repositories
- **ubuntu_install.sh**: Must be run in Hetzner rescue environment
- All scripts include error handling and safety checks where appropriate

## Prerequisites

### System Requirements
- Linux environment (tested on Ubuntu/Debian)
- Bash shell
- Root access for disk operations
- Git for repository management
- SSH access for private repositories

### For Hetzner Operations
- Hetzner rescue system access
- installimage utility
- Minimum 2 NVMe drives for RAID setup

## Support

These tools are designed for infrastructure automation and server management. Ensure you understand the implications of each script before execution, especially those involving disk operations or system installation.
