# menhera.sh
Start a RAM Linux system (Debian for now) without requiring physical access to your server.
With menhera.sh you can:
* format your system disk or create RAID
* install a new distro
* do important maintenance or backup with nobody writing to your root filesystem
* ...
with only SSH!
"menhera" is short for "mental healer".
## Dependencies
* Linux kernel: overlayfs and tmpfs support
* systemd
* squashfs-tools
* wget
## Usage
Just download and run.
## Known issues
* Cannot auto detect rootfs URL
## Thanks

* The major code came from [a maintenance writeup on my blog](https://blog.swineson.me/debian-9-csm-online-convert-root-partition-to-raid/) (in Simp. Chinese)
* [xTom.com](https://xtom.com/) donated a VPS for my testing
