                  opensuse 15.5|tumbleweed (only supports cloud image)
                  arch     (only supports amd64 cloud image)
                  gentoo   (only supports amd64 cloud image)

• For machines with static IP, DD Windows, and the script will automatically configure the IP.

bash reinstall.sh dd --img https://example.com/xxx.xz

Feature 3: Reboot to Alpine Rescue System (Live OS)

• Can be connected via SSH to perform manual DD, modify partitions, manually install Arch / Gentoo, etc.

• If the disk content is not modified, rebooting again will return to the original system.

bash reinstall.sh alpine --hold=1

Feature 4: Reboot to netboot.xyz

• Can install more systems using web panel VNC.

bash reinstall.sh netboot.xyz

Feature 5: Install Windows ISO

• Pay attention to the quotation marks around the parameters

bash reinstall.sh windows \
     --iso 'https://drive.massgrave.dev/en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96.iso' \
     --image-name 'Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021'

Parameters:

--iso Original image link

--image-name Specify the image to install, case-insensitive, for example:

Windows 7 Ultimate
