I love using minimal templates. To be specific debian-12-minimal templates. And I love using whonix as part of my networking setup. So I wrote up a little script to prepare fresh debian-12-minimal templates and whonix-17 templates for different use cases (currently: BASIC, NETWORKING, VPN, APP, FLATPAK and WAYDROID; further explained in the menu when running the script).

I am not an IT expert - just an interested user of one of the most powerful and versatile linux projects out there. I am sure there are better ways to write up the code for this script. Feel free to test it and to give feedback. If you do not like my package selection you can very easily change it in the script. Please checkout my references to other community guides (highlighted when running the script)!

This script is written to be used with QubesOS R4.2. Run meta-installer.sh script as root in debian-12-minimal or whonix-17 template:

#main menu
function mainmenu {
        echo -e "\e[32;1mWelcome to meta-installer. This script is meant to help you set up debian-12-minimal and whonix templates. Choose option to proceed:
            \r 1) Basic debian-12-minimal install
            \r 2) Basic whonix-17 setup (works for workstation and gateway)
            \r 3) Advanced debian-12-minimal installs
            \r 4) Exit"
        read mainmenu_choice
        echo

        case $mainmenu_choice in
            1)
            ##preparing basic template.
                echo -e "\e[33;1mPreparing basic debian-12-minimal template install. The following steps will take place:
