Top 10 Shell Initramf Projects

  • yubikey-full-disk-encryption

    Use YubiKey to unlock a LUKS partition

  • zfsbootmenu

    ZFS Bootloader for root-on-ZFS systems with support for snapshots and native full disk encryption

    • Project mention: Bash Debugging | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-01

    We use a couple nice home-grown functions in ZFSBootMenu to help debug things. We have a zdebug logging function that's peppered liberally throughout the code base - https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/blob/master/zfsbootme...

    Hitting ctrl-t on our main menu will, when booting with debug logging enabled, show a screen like this: https://imgur.com/Ge75zkP

    We also have a flamegraph profiling mechanism that can be enabled with https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/blob/master/zfsbootme... . That will dump data to a serial port, which when re-assembled, can be used to produce a graph like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/master...

    Bash is suprisingly flexible.

    The https://github.com/garybgenett/gary-os#licensing section is interesting.

  • Archboot

    Archboot is a most advanced, modular Arch Linux boot/install image creation utility to generate bootable media for CD/USB/PXE, designed for installation or rescue operation.

    • Project mention: "The System Found Unauthorized Changes On the Firmware, Operating System UEFI Drivers" | /r/archlinux | 2023-07-08

    If you can't disable secure boot, the default installer will not work for you. The easiest solution would be to use archboot, an unofficial installer maintained by one of the devs. https://archboot.com/
