codeburn/desktop/Scripts/autoinstall/README.md
Resham Joshi 9d4da7c0fd feat(desktop): Linux provisioner script + optional unattended autoinstall 
desktop/Scripts/provision-linux.sh: one-shot apt + Node 20 + Rust stable
+ codeburn CLI + repo clone + npm install. Leaves the user one command
away from `npm run tauri dev`.

desktop/Scripts/autoinstall/: cloud-init user-data + meta-data plus a
README for building the CIDATA ISO. Mount that ISO alongside the Ubuntu
Server ISO in UTM and the installer runs without any prompts. Default
test credentials codeburn/codeburn; README calls out changing them for
non-throwaway VMs.

Unattended Ubuntu install for the CodeBurn dev VM

This directory contains a cloud-init user-data + meta-data pair that tells the Ubuntu 24.04 Server installer to configure itself without any user prompts. After it finishes, you reboot into GNOME and run the one-line provisioner.

Default credentials in user-data: codeburn / codeburn. Change them before using anywhere that matters.

Build the CIDATA ISO (on your Mac)

cd desktop/Scripts/autoinstall
hdiutil makehybrid -o codeburn-cidata.iso \
  -hfs -joliet -iso -default-volume-name CIDATA .

That produces codeburn-cidata.iso (around 2 KB) with the two YAML files at the root, labelled CIDATA.

Hook it into UTM

  1. Create the VM as usual (Virtualize → Linux → Ubuntu Server arm64 ISO).

  2. Before first boot, open the VM's Settings → Drives → New Drive → pick Removable → Import, and select codeburn-cidata.iso.

  3. Boot. The Ubuntu installer auto-detects the CIDATA volume, reads the autoinstall config, and runs the install without prompts. Takes 15-20 minutes depending on disk speed.

  4. Reboot into the installed system, log in as codeburn, then:

    bash ~/provision.sh

    (The autoinstall drops the script to ~/provision.sh. It installs Rust + Node + the codeburn CLI, clones the repo, and sets up the desktop/ npm deps.)

  5. cd ~/codeburn/desktop && npm run tauri dev.

Why not automate the provisioner run too

cloud-init's late-commands runs in the installer environment, which doesn't have a GNOME session for the tray icon to land in. We deliberately stop short of running npm run tauri dev from within autoinstall so the tray shows up on your first real login instead of a detached systemd unit.

Skipping autoinstall

If you'd rather click through the Ubuntu installer normally, ignore this directory entirely. The provision-linux.sh script in the parent directory works the same way whether the OS was installed unattended or by hand.
