simple script to start a serpent chroot

serpent-chroot.sh

#!/bin/bash

mnt="/tmp/serpent"
mkdir -p /tmp/serpent-tmp
mkdir -p /tmp/serpent/tmp
mkdir -p /tmp/serpent/dev
mkdir -p /tmp/serpent/proc
mkdir -p /tmp/serpent/sys
sudo mount -o remount,rw,suid /tmp

### Bootstrap
curl -LO https://github.com/serpent-os/tools/releases/download/nightly-20250131-010401/moss.tar.gz
tar xf moss.tar.gz
sudo ./moss -D serpent/ repo add volatile https://packages.serpentos.com/volatile/x86_64/stone.index
sudo ./moss -D serpent/ install bash cosmic-comp zsh sudo shadow moss vim

### chroot stuff, double mount was an attempt to workaround update issues,
### Things in general seemed to work better with it
sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs serpent-tmp
sudo mount -o bind serpent serpent-tmp
sudo mount -o bind /dev /tmp/serpent-tmp/dev/
sudo mount -t proc proc /tmp/serpent-tmp/proc/
sudo mount -t sysfs sysfs /tmp/serpent-tmp/sys/
sudo mount -t devpts devpts /tmp/serpent-tmp/dev/pts/
sudo mount -o bind /run/user/1000 /tmp/serpent-tmp/tmp

sudo chroot serpent/ /bin/bash -c "echo 'nameserver 1.1.1.1' > /etc/resolv.conf"
sudo chroot serpent/ /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/useradd -m -G wheel USERNAME"
sudo chroot serpent/ /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 1000 user"
sudo chroot serpent/ /bin/bash -c "passwd USERNAME"
sudo chroot serpent/

### Use nspawn instead if you can, being a container based solution, 
### this will mean updates and whatnot work. Comment out mounting stuff.
#sudo systemd-nspawn --directory serpent
