BootBuddy

About

This project aims to simplify and automate the process of creating custom multiboot USB flash drives. Highly usable by SysAdmin/DevOps guys.

Creates both BIOS and UEFI boot capable flash disk
Manages GRUB config file and synces needed ISOs
Holds cache with downloaded ISOs on computer (/tmp/iso)
Update-capable - no need to reformat the whole drive on changes

Prerequisities

USB flash drive (of any size, depends on how much stuff you want to fit in)
Ruby (1.8.7 or newer)
when on 1.8.7, make sure you run gem install yaml --no-rdoc --no-ri (or something equivalent)
TIP: you can test whether you already have the YAML lib by running ruby -e 'if require "yaml" then puts "OK" else puts "ERR" end'
GRUB2
root access (like sudo bash or something)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/blufor/bootbuddy.git
cd bootbuddy
sudo ./INSTALL.sh

Usage

Configure your distros in /etc/bootbuddy.yaml
Plugin you USB drive. Be prepared to lose all the data on it (so backup if you feel the need).
Find out the device name by fdisk -l or lsblk
Run bb /dev/sdX and follow the instructions.

Tips

If you have problems, investigate the code, it's really simple
Eventually, you can post a pull request with a fix or enhancement ;)
Don't hesitate also to post pull requests with more templates. I've only added systems egoistically based on my needs ;)
