Interactive installer and lifecycle management tool for Ret2Shell (docs) platform.

Ret2Boot is a Rust-based bootstrapping tool that automates the deployment and management of Ret2Shell clusters. It provides a comprehensive installation workflow with preflight validation, cluster initialization, and platform deployment.

• Interactive Installation: Guided questionnaire-based installation with state persistence
• Multi-language Support: English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese
• Atomic Installation Steps: Modular, rollback-compatible installation steps
• Preflight Validation: System requirements checking (disk, memory, kernel modules, network connectivity)
• Cluster Management:
  • Kubernetes cluster bootstrapping
  • Helm CLI setup and configuration
  • Application gateway deployment
  • Ret2Shell platform deployment
• Lifecycle Commands:
  • install: Fresh cluster deployment
  • update: Update existing deployments
  • sync: Synchronize configuration with running systems
  • uninstall: Clean removal of components
• Privilege Escalation: Automatic privilege acquisition when needed
• Resumable Installation: State tracking allows interrupted installations to resume

• Disk Space: More than 10 GB free (warning at <20 GB)
• Memory: More than 4 GB available (warning at <8 GB)

• Linux with support for kernel modules (cgroup, netfilter)
• Package managers: apt (Debian/Ubuntu), yum/dnf (RHEL/Fedora), pacman (Arch)

# Default: runs installation workflow
./ret2boot

# Specific commands
./ret2boot install     # New cluster installation
./ret2boot update      # Update existing deployment
./ret2boot sync        # Synchronize with running clusters
./ret2boot uninstall   # Remove components

1. Startup Checks

   • Locale and language selection
   • Terminal capability detection
   • Privilege acquisition
   • Safety confirmations

2. Questionnaire Phase

   • Collect deployment requirements
   • Platform configuration
   • Networking setup
   • Persist answers for resume support

3. Review Phase

   • Display generated installation plan
   • Confirmation before execution

4. Installation Steps

   • Preflight validation (system resources, dependencies)
   • Cluster bootstrap
   • Helm CLI installation
   • Application gateway setup
   • Platform deployment
   • Worker platform probing

5. Recovery

   • Automatic failure tracking
   • State preservation at ~/.config/ret2boot/
   • Resume capability after interruptions

Installation state and questionnaire answers are persisted in:

• Linux/macOS: ~/.config/ret2boot/config.toml

Configuration includes:

• Selected language and locale
• Installation progress and completion status
• Questionnaire answers with review state
• Failure logs for debugging

cargo build --release
