I'm trying to automate some little installation process:

• List item


• apt install this


• reboot


• apt install that


• finish some other thing

Is there a way to get a script resumed after a reboot
OR
some sort of desired state configuration

which lets me achieve that (without using any sort of server/cloud)?

Thanks

Thomas

First, add a line to /etc/rc.local:

/path/to/finishinstallscript

Your /path/to/startinstallscript looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
list item
apt install this
reboot

Your /path/to/finishinstallscript looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
apt install that
finish some other thing
echo "#!/bin/bash" > /path/to/finishinstallscript
exit 0

At reboot, the finishinstallscript is overwritten by an empty (well, just the shebang) line. Thus, after a second reboot, nothing is executed a second time. You will want to keep a copy of the original finishinstallscript, as it is lost after reboot.

The exit 0 command is there to ensure the startup script ends properly (otherwise your system won't boot in case of failure).

Don't forget to make both scripts executable. It could also be useful to notify the user of what is happening with a notify-send message before rebooting.
