Void Linux VPS Installer

Script for replacing existing Linux system with Void Linux on VPS servers.

Tested with Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS

Tested on VDSina.com, FirstByte.pro

Prerequisites

• Root access
• SSH keys in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys (or provide GitHub username)
• Installation time: ~2 minutes

Usage

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jipok/void-infect/master/void-infect.sh
chmod +x void-infect.sh
./void-infect.sh
# or
./void-infect.sh GithubUsername

The script automatically:

• Downloads and configures Void Linux rootfs
• Imports SSH keys from GitHub (if username provided) or preserves existing ones
• Installs essential packages and Cute-bash
• Tune sysctl
• Replaces existing OS and reboots

No manual intervention required. Just run and wait for the reboot.

Home Server Edition

For installing Void Linux on a physical home server, use the alternative script:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jipok/void-infect/master/void-install.sh
chmod +x void-install.sh
nano void-install.sh        # Change settings in file header
./void-install.sh /dev/sdX GithubUsername # Replace with your target disk and username
# or
./void-install.sh /dev/sdX "ssh-ed25519 AAAA..."

Note: This script must be run from a LiveUSB environment or when installing to a secondary disk that's not currently hosting the running system.
