PATCHFILES

I came to the idea to create patchfiles, when I saw lots of config files people create.

Patchfiles implements various config scripts into one single bash file which you can run on freshly installed system.

NOTICE: Patchfiles is not replacement for Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Salt, Terraform etc. It's purpose is to be simple small one liner which configures single server or desktop machine.

IMPLEMENTED:

• sysctl.conf
• open files limit
• sshd secure server
• bfq scheduler
• tune initial window size

System automatically builds revert.sh script, whcih can bu run in order to revert back changes.

BUILT AND TESTED ON

• Ubuntu 20.04
• Ubuntu 22.04

KNOWN ISSUES

• Doesn't work on Broadcom 5762 (RTL8111/8168/8411)
