v0.3 – Configuration & Test Coverage Completion

This release finalizes the test and configuration coverage across all scripts and services.

Highlights:

Full system audit complete — All configuration scripts were manually reviewed and updated to ensure every test passes from a clean install.

Expanded test coverage:

    test_system.sh now verifies IP assignment, SSH hardening, and root shell history behavior.

    test_github.sh checks for proper GitHub repo cloning and config.

    test_obsidian_git.sh now contains dozens of additional checks, including SSH directory and key validation, vault structure, post-receive hooks, and safe.directory settings.

Reliable test flow — test_all.sh now runs all suites even if one fails.

Setup alignment — Every new test is backed by working setup code, ensuring out-of-the-box success.

No breaking changes — simply re-run the setup and test suites to apply and verify the updated config.

v0.2.1 – Usability Improvements

This release focuses on user experience and maintainability:

Logging Improvements: All test scripts now support --log flags with sensible defaults. Logs are saved only on failure unless forced.

User Setup Fixes: Both git and obsidian users are now created with blank passwords. A related bug in setup_obsidian_git.sh has been resolved.

Refactor Cleanup: Missing logic was moved from setup_all.sh into setup_obsidian_git.sh, and the test scripts were updated to match.

These changes make it easier to debug and maintain the system, especially when running automated setups or reapplying configurations.

v0.2 - modular setup and test suite

This release introduces a fully modular architecture for setting up and validating an OpenBSD server configured to host a Git-backed Obsidian vault.

Highlights:

Split monolithic scripts into modular components:

    setup_system.sh, setup_obsidian_git.sh, setup_github.sh

    test_system.sh, test_obsidian_git.sh, test_github.sh

New wrapper scripts:

    setup_all.sh and test_all.sh for full automation

Environment variable support preserved across all layers

Safer deployment: deploy key no longer required to be committed

Simplified maintenance and clearer separation of concerns

v0.1.1 – Strict Hostname Format & Test Suite Enhancements

This release obsoletes v0.1 and tightens up our network-configuration testing to prevent silent reboot failures.

What’s new in v0.1.1 (2025-06-23):

Obsoletes v0.1: All functionality now consolidated into v0.1.1 scripts.

Strict hostname format validation

    First line of /etc/hostname.${INTERFACE} must be exactly inet <IP> <NETMASK>

    Second line must be exactly !route add default <GATEWAY>

    Anchored regex checks to catch any stray netmask keyword or extra whitespace

Retained all existing tests for user setup, shells, doas policy, DNS, SSH hardening, Git installation, bare-repo structure, and safe-directory flags
