Ubuntu/Debian cmdline install - Skip the prompt?

Post by nukepro »

Hi all, I am wondering if it is possible to perform a command-line install in Ubuntu/Debian whereby I can skip the initial setup prompt where it asks for username, team, passkey etc. Is there any flag I can add to the dpkg install command to skip? I already have my own set-up config.xml ready for use.

Thanks!

Maybe

Code: Select all

DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg --install --force-depends fah.deb
This is from https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/contai ... Dockerfile
