jl_installer

Bash script that installs core applications and sets up base configuration for a new CentOS system

1. Notes

• I created this script to automatically setup all the core features I use when creating a new CentOS VM for testing.
• To be extra-safe the script will give you the option to double-check any changes you make to configuration files.

2. Installation

1. Pull down this script onto your CentOS machine
2. Change the write permissions for the script:

chmod +x jl_installer.sh

3. Run the script with sudo:

sudo ./jl_installer.sh

3. Planned Updates

I'm planning to update the script in the future and I have some ideas about what new features I'd like to add.

Here are those changes:

• Prompt user for additional "Useful Packages"
• Add installation and configuration section for SNMP
• Add more configuration options for SSH
• Allow user to quickly configure firewall rules? (maybe)
• Add ability for the script to work with Ubuntu
