# distrib-dl
Download and keep up-to-date Linux/BSD distribution ISO images (installers/live images). Can be used to maintain a local ISO image repository.
[](https://gitlab.com/nodiscc/distrib-dl/commits/master)
## Installation
`git clone https://gitlab.com/nodiscc/distrib-dl`
## Requirements
* bash
* wget
* gnupg
## Usage
```
Usage: ./distrib-dl [OPTIONS] DISTRIBUTION1 [DISTRIBUTION2 DISTRIBUTION3 ...] [all]
Available distributions: debian debian-live tails kali proxmox pfsense freebsd debian-live-config fedora ubuntu
Options:
-c only check that the url returns 200, don't download anything
-d DIR specify base download directory (by default the current working directory is used)
-h show help
```
* [Debian GNU/Linux](https://www.debian.org/) (_[netinstall](https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst)_ and _[live](https://www.debian.org/CD/live/)_)
* [Tails](https://tails.boum.org/)
* [Kali](https://www.kali.org/)
* [Proxmox VE](https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Main_Page)
* [pfSense](https://www.pfsense.org/download/)
* [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/)
* [debian-live-config](https://debian-live-config.readthedocs.io/)
* [Fedora Workstation](https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/)
* [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/)
* [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org/)
Downloads will be verified against checksums and GPG keys when available. Checksums/signatures are downloaded as part of the process. The script will return warnings unless you manually import and trust gpg keys:
```
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
```
**Debian:** You need to [import Debian signing keys to your GPG keyring](https://keyring.debian.org/):
```bash
gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys DF9B9C49EAA9298432589D76DA87E80D6294BE9B
```
Consider a periodic cleanup of old/obsolete images from your download directory, else disk usage will keep increasing over time (unless you intend to keep old distribution releases?).
## Configuration
Architectures and distribution versions are configurable in the script itself.
