debian-zfs

Ansible roles that implements https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Debian-Buster-Root-on-ZFS

Usage

  • Edit ansible/vars.yml with your desired settings.
  • Run packer build -on-error=ask debian-zfs-{{ mbr || efi }}.json to test the playbook in a Virtualbox machine.
  • The last provisioner is simply a shell provisioner that runs false, so you can examine the resulting system once the playbook has completed.
  • Playbook hasn't yet been tested on real hardware, will report back with more commits
    • it should go without saying, but trying to run this on real hardware will result in data loss
