# Installation Scripts Documentation (/install)
This directory contains comprehensive documentation for installation scripts in the `/install` directory.
## Overview
Installation scripts (`install/*.sh`) run inside LXC containers and handle application-specific setup, configuration, and deployment.
## Documentation Structure
Each installation script category has documentation following the project pattern.
## Key Resources
- **[DETAILED_GUIDE.md](DETAILED_GUIDE.md)** - Complete reference for creating install scripts
- **[../contribution/README.md](../contribution/README.md)** - How to contribute
- **[../misc/install.func/](../misc/install.func/)** - Installation workflow documentation
- **[../misc/tools.func/](../misc/tools.func/)** - Package installation documentation
## Installation Script Flow
```
install/appname-install.sh (container-side)
├─ Sources: $FUNCTIONS_FILE_PATH
│ ├─ core.func (messaging)
│ ├─ error_handler.func (error handling)
│ ├─ install.func (setup)
│ └─ tools.func (packages & tools)
├─ 10-Phase Installation:
│ 1. OS Setup
│ 2. Base Dependencies
│ 3. Tool Setup
│ 4. Application Download
│ 5. Configuration
│ 6. Database Setup
│ 7. Permissions
│ 8. Services
│ 9. Version Tracking
│ 10. Final Cleanup
└─ Result: Application ready
```
## Available Installation Scripts
See `/install` directory for all installation scripts. Examples:
- `pihole-install.sh` - Pi-hole installation
- `docker-install.sh` - Docker installation
- `wallabag-install.sh` - Wallabag setup
- `nextcloud-install.sh` - Nextcloud deployment
- `debian-install.sh` - Base Debian setup
- And 30+ more...
## Quick Start
To understand how to create an installation script:
1. Read: [UPDATED_APP-install.md](../UPDATED_APP-install.md)
2. Study: A similar existing script in `/install`
3. Copy template and customize
4. Test in container
5. Submit PR
## 10-Phase Installation Pattern
Every installation script follows this structure:
### Phase 1: OS Setup
```bash
setting_up_container
network_check
update_os
```
### Phase 2: Base Dependencies
```bash
pkg_update
pkg_install curl wget git
```
### Phase 3: Tool Setup
```bash
setup_nodejs "20"
setup_php "8.3"
setup_mariadb "11"
```
### Phase 4: Application Download
```bash
git clone https://github.com/user/app /opt/app
cd /opt/app
```
### Phase 5: Configuration
```bash
# Create .env files, config files, etc.
cat > .env <<EOF
SETTING=value
EOF
```
### Phase 6: Database Setup
```bash
# Create databases, users, etc.
mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE appdb"
```
### Phase 7: Permissions
```bash
chown -R appuser:appgroup /opt/app
chmod -R 755 /opt/app
```
### Phase 8: Services
```bash
systemctl enable app
systemctl start app
```
### Phase 9: Version Tracking
```bash
echo "1.0.0" > /opt/app_version.txt
```
### Phase 10: Final Cleanup
```bash
motd_ssh
customize
cleanup_lxc
```
## Contributing an Installation Script
1. Create `ct/myapp.sh` (host script)
2. Create `install/myapp-install.sh` (container script)
3. Follow 10-phase pattern in [UPDATED_APP-install.md](../UPDATED_APP-install.md)
4. Test in actual container
5. Submit PR with both files
## Common Tasks
- **Create new installation script** → [UPDATED_APP-install.md](../UPDATED_APP-install.md)
- **Install Node.js/PHP/Database** → [misc/tools.func/](../misc/tools.func/)
- **Setup Alpine container** → [misc/alpine-install.func/](../misc/alpine-install.func/)
- **Debug installation errors** → [EXIT_CODES.md](../EXIT_CODES.md)
- **Use dev mode** → [DEV_MODE.md](../DEV_MODE.md)
## Alpine vs Debian
- **Debian-based** → Use `tools.func`, `install.func`, `systemctl`
- **Alpine-based** → Use `alpine-tools.func`, `alpine-install.func`, `rc-service`
