+  #
+  # Release updates provide more current versions for software that changes relatively
+  # frequently and where not having the latest version could reduce the usability of the
+  # software. It also provides regression fixes. This service is only available for stable
+  # and oldstable releases.
+  #
+  # Backported software is adapted from the development version to work with this release.
+  # Although this software has not gone through such complete testings as that contained in
+  # the release, it includes newer versions of some applications that may provide useful
+  # features. Enabling backports here does not cause any of them to be installed by default;
+  # it only allows you to manually select backports to use.
+  updates:
+    backports: true
+    release: true
+    security: true
+    # Applying updates on a frequent basis is an important part of keeping the system secure.
+    #
+    # By default, security updates are not automatically installed, as security advisories should be
+    # reviewed before manual installation of the updates using standard package management tools.
+    #
+    # Alternatively, the unattended-upgrades package can be installed, which will install security
+    # updates automatically.
+    # Note, however, that automatic installation of updates may occasionally cause unexpected downtime
+    # of services provided by this machine in the rare cases where the update is not fully backward-compatible,
+    # or where the security advisory requires the administrator to perform some other manual operation.
+    #
+    # Possible choices: none, security, unattended (RECOMMENDED)

+  # Force GRUB installation to the EFI removable media path?
+  # It seems that this computer is configured to boot via EFI, but maybe that configuration will
+  # not work for booting from the hard drive. Some EFI firmware implementations do not meet the
+  # EFI specification (i.e., they are buggy) and do not support proper configuration of boot
+  # options from system hard drives.
+  #
+  # A workaround for this problem is to install an extra copy of the EFI version of the GRUB
+  # bootloader to a fallback location, the "removable media path". Almost all EFI systems, no
+  # matter how buggy, will boot GRUB that way.
+  #
+  # Warning: If the installer failed to detect another operating system that is present on your
+  # computer that also depends on this fallback, installing GRUB there will make that operating
+  # system temporarily unbootable. GRUB can be manually configured later to boot it if necessary:
+  force-efi-extra-removable: false
+
+  # Set this to 'true' to install the latest GRUB2 backported package for encrypted '/boot' support.
+  # MUST be 'true' in the case of 'LUKS2' and / or 'dm-integrity' encrypted '/boot/':
+  latest: true
+
+  # This is fairly safe to set; it makes grub install automatically to the UEFI partition '/boot'
+  # record if no other operating system is detected on the machine:
+  only-debian: true
+
+  # This one makes grub-installer install to the UEFI partition/boot record, if it also finds
+  # some other OS, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that other OS:
+  other-os: true
+
+  # OS-prober did not detect any other operating systems on your computer at this time, but you
+  # may still wish to enable it in case you install more in the future:
+  prober: false
+
+  # Skip installing grub:
+  skip: false
+
+  # Update NVRAM variables to automatically boot into Debian?
+  # GRUB can configure your platform's NVRAM variables so that it boots into Debian automatically
+  # when powered on. However, you may prefer to disable this behavior and avoid changes to your
+  # boot configuration. For example, if your NVRAM variables have been set up such that your
+  # system contacts a PXE server on every boot, this would preserve that behavior:

-CISS Debian Installer
+# 1. CISS.debian.installer
+
+**Centurion Intelligence Consulting Agency Information Security Standard**<br>
+*The CISS Debian Installer provides a fully automated and hardened installation process.*<br>
+**Master Version**: 8.00<br>
+**Build**: V8.00.000.2025.06.17<br>
+
+This is a digitally signed, self-verifying shell script for installing a hardened Debian Bookworm server environment, based on 
+the latest server and service hardening best practices. Compared to the original Debian installer, this installer offers much 
+greater flexibility in terms of custom partitioning schemes and is more reliable than the Calamares suite.<br>

+* [CenturionDNS Blocklist](https://dns.eddns.eu/blocklists/centurion_titanium_ultimate.txt)

+* [Contact the author](https://coresecret.eu/contact/)
+
+## 1.1. Preliminary Remarks
+
+### 1.1.1. HSM
+Please note that all my signing keys are stored in an HSM and that the signing environment is air-gapped. The next step is to
+move to a room-gapped environment. ^^
+
+### 1.1.2. DNSSEC, HSTS, TLS
+
+Please note that `coresecret.dev` is included in the [(HSTS Preload List)](https://hstspreload.org/) and always serves the headers:
+````nginx configuration pro
+add_header Expect-CT                 "max-age=86400, enforce"                       always;
+add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload" always;
+````
+
+* Additionally, the entire zone is dual-signed with **DNSSEC**. See the current **DNSSEC** status at: **[DNSSEC Audit Report](/docs/AUDIT_DNSSEC.md)**
+* A comprehensive TLS audit of the **`git.coresecret.dev`** Gitea server is also available. See: **[TLS Audit Report](/docs/AUDIT_TLS.md)**
+* The infrastructure of the **`CISS.debian.installer`** building system is visualized here. See: **[Centurion Net](/docs/CNET.md)**
+
+### 1.1.3. Gitea Action Runner Hardening
+
+The CI runners operate on a dedicated host system located in a completely separate Autonomous System (AS). This host is solely
+dedicated to providing CI runners and does not perform any other tasks. Each runner is hermetically isolated from others using
+non-privileged, shell-less user accounts with no direct login capability. Additionally, each runner executes within its own
+separate directory tree, employs `DynamicUser` features, and adheres to strict systemd hardening policies
+(achieving a ``systemd-analyze security``rating of **``2.6``**). Docker containers used by runners do not run in privileged 
+mode. Security is further enhanced through the use of both UFW software firewalls and dedicated hardware firewall appliances.
+
+### 1.2. Keywords
+
+The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", 
+"MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [[BCP 14](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp14)], 
+[[RFC2119](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2119)], [[RFC8174](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8174)] when, 
+and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

+
+### WHY BASH?
+# Ease of installation.
+# No compiling or installing gems, CPAN modules, pip packages, etc.
+# Simple to use and read. Clear syntax and straightforward output interpretation.
+# Built-in power.
+# Pattern matching, line processing, and regular expression support are available natively,
+# no external binaries required.
+# Cross-platform consistency.
+# '/bin/bash' is the default shell on most Linux distributions, ensuring scripts run unmodified across systems.
+# macOS compatibility.
+# Since macOS Catalina (10.15), the default login shell has been zsh, but bash remains available at '/bin/bash'.
+# Windows support.
+# You can use bash via WSL, MSYS2, or Cygwin on Windows systems.

+# 2. Coding Style
+
+## 2.1. PR
+
+You'd make the life of the maintainers easier if you submit only _one_ patch with _one_ functional change per PR.
+
+## 2.2 Documentation
+
+Some people really read that ! New features would need to be documented in the appropriate section in `usage()` and in
+`~/docs/DOCUMENTATION.md`.
+
+## 2.3. Coding
+
+### 2.3.1. Shell / bash
+
+Bash is actually quite powerful—not only with respect to sockets. It's not as mighty as perl or python, but there are a lot of
+neat features. Here's how you make use of them. Besides those short hints here, there's a wealth of information there.
+
+* Don't use backticks anymore, use `$(..)` instead
+* Use double square `[[]]` brackets (_conditional expressions)_ instead of single square `[]` brackets
+* In double square brackets, avoid quoting at the right-hand side if not necessary. For regex matching (`=~`) you shouldn't
+  quote at all.
+* The [BashPitfalls](http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls) is a good read!
+* Whenever possible try to avoid `tr` `sed` `awk` and use bash internal functions instead, see
+  e.g., [bash shell parameter substitution](http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/bash-shell-parameter-substitution-2.html). It is
+  slower as it forks, fopens and pipes back the result.
+* `read` often can replace `awk`: `IFS=, read -ra a b c <<< "$line_with_comma"`
+* Bash can also deal perfectly with regular expressions, see
+  e.g., [here](https://www.networkworld.com/article/2693361/unix-tip-using-bash-s-regular-expressions.html)
+  and [here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/421460/bash-regex-and-https-regex101-com).
+* If you still need to use any of `tr`, `sed` and `awk`: try to avoid a mix of several external binaries e.g., if you can
+  achieve the same with e.g. `awk`.
+* Be careful with very advanced bash features. Mac OS X is still using bash version
+  3 ([differences](http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/bashver4.html)).
+* Always use a return value for a function/method. 0 means all is fine.
+* Make use of [shellcheck](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck) if possible.
+* Follow the [shellformat](https://google.github.io/styleguide/shellguide.html) Shell-Style Guide.
+
+### 2.3.2. Shell specific
+
+* Security:
+  * Watch out for any input especially (but not only) supplied from the server. Input should never be trusted.
+  * Unless you're really sure where the values come from, variables need to be put in quotes.
+
+### 2.3.3. Variables
+
+* Use **"speaking variables"** but don't overdo it with the length.
+* No _camelCase_, please. We distinguish between lowercase and uppercase only.
+  * Global variables:
+    * use them only when really necessary,
+    * in CAPS,
+    * initialize them (`declare -g VAR_EXAMPLE=""`),
+    * SHOULD start with:
+      * `ARY_`  for Arrays,
+      * `C_`    for Variables defining colored outputs,
+      * `ERR_`  for Error Codes Variables,
+      * `HMP_`  for HashMap Arrays,
+      * `LOG_`  for Logfile Variables,
+      * `PID_`  for PID Variables,
+      * `PIPE_` for PIPE Variables,
+      * `VAR_`  for Variables
+  * Local variables:
+    * are lower case,
+    * declare them before usage (`declare` eq `local`),
+    * initialize them (`declare var_example=""`),
+    * SHOULD start with:
+      * `ary_` for Arrays,
+      * `c_` for Variables defining colored outputs,
+      * `err_` for Error Codes Variables,
+      * `hmp_` for HashMap Arrays,
+      * `log_` for Logfile Variables,
+      * `var_` for Variables.
+
+# 3. Misc
+
+* Test before doing a PR! Best if you check with two bad and two good examples, which should then work as expected.

Our licenses are irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms and conditions of the license they choose before applying it. Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-licensed material, or material used under an exception or limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors.
+
+Considerations for the public: By using one of our public licenses, a licensor grants the public permission to use the licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If the licensors' permission is not necessary for any reason-for example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to copyright - then that use is not regulated by the license. Our licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of the licensed material may still be restricted for other reasons, including because others have copyright or other rights in the material. A licensor may make special requests, such as asking that all changes be marked or described. Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to respect those requests where reasonable. More considerations for the public.

+
+By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this Public License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.
+
+Section 1 - Definitions.
+
+     a.	Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights that are derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording, Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is synced in timed relation with a moving image.
+
+     b.	Copyright and Similar Rights mean copyright and/or similar rights closely related to copyright including, without limitation, performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights.
+
+     c.	Effective Technological Measures mean those measures that, in the absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international agreements.
+
+     d.	Exceptions and Limitations mean fair use, fair dealing, and/or any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material.
+
+     e.	Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database, or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public License.
+
+     f.	Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material, and that the Licensor has authority to license.
+
+     g.	Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under this Public License.
+
+     h.	NonCommercial means not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation. For purposes of this Public License, the exchange of the Licensed Material for other material subjects to Copyright and Similar Rights by digital file-sharing or similar means is NonCommercial provided there is no payment of monetary compensation in connection with the exchange.
+
+     i.	Share means to provide material to the public by any means or process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution, dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material available to the public including in ways that members of the public may access the material from a place and at a time individually chosen by them.
+
+     j.	Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
+
+     k.	You mean the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under this Public License. 'Your' has a corresponding meaning.
+
+Section 2 - Scope.
+
+     a.	License grant.
+
+          1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
+
+               A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part, for NonCommercial purposes only; and
+
+               B. produce and reproduce, but not Share, Adapted Material for NonCommercial purposes only.
+
+          2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.
+
+          3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).
+
+          4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid You from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material.
+
+          5. Downstream recipients.
+               A. Offer from the Licensor - Licensed Material. Every recipient of the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this Public License.
+
+               B. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed Material.
+
+          6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
+
+     b.	Other rights.
+
+          1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
+
+          2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
+
+          3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases, the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties, including when the Licensed Material is used other than for NonCommercial purposes.
+
+Section 3 - License Conditions.
+
+Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions.
+
+     a.	Attribution.
+
+          1. If You Share the Licensed Material, You must:
+
+               A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material:
+
+                    i.	identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);
+
+                    ii.	a copyright notice;
+
+                    iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
+
+                    iv.	a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;
+
+                    v.	a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably practicable;
+
+               B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
+
+               C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this Public License.
+
+          For the avoidance of doubt, You do not have permission under this Public License to Share Adapted Material.
+
+          2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required information.
+
+          3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.
+
+Section 4 - Sui Generis Database Rights.
+
+Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
+
+     a.	for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all, or a substantial portion of the contents of the database for NonCommercial purposes only and provided You do not Share Adapted Material;
+
+     b.	if You include all, or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
+
+     c.	You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
+For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
+
+Section 5 - Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
+
+     a.	Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.
+
+     b.	To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You.
+
+     c.	The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
+
+Section 6 - Term and Termination.
+
+     a.	This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.
+
+     b.	Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates:
+
+          1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
+
+          2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
+
+     For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License.
+
+     c.	For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.
+
+     d.	Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.
+
+Section 7 - Other Terms and Conditions.
+
+     a.	The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
+
+     b.	Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
+
+Section 8 - Interpretation.
+
+     a.	For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this Public License.
+
+     b.	To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.
+
+     c.	No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.
+
+     d.	Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
+
+Creative Commons is not a party to its public licenses. Notwithstanding, Creative Commons may elect to apply one of its public licenses to material it publishes and in those instances will be considered the "Licensor."

+EUROPEAN UNION PUBLIC LICENCE v. 1.2
+EUPL © the European Union 2007, 2016
+
+This European Union Public Licence (the 'EUPL') applies to the Work (as defined below) which is provided under the
+terms of this Licence. Any use of the Work, other than as authorised under this Licence is prohibited (to the extent such
+a use is covered by a right of the copyright holder of the Work).
+
+The Work is provided under the terms of this Licence when the Licensor (as defined below) has placed the following
+notice immediately following the copyright notice for the Work:
+
+                          Licensed under the EUPL
+
+or has expressed by any other means his willingness to license under the EUPL.
+
+1.Definitions
+
+In this Licence, the following terms have the following meaning:
+
+— 'The Licence':this Licence.
+
+— 'The Original Work':the work or software distributed or communicated by the Licensor under this Licence, available
+as Source Code and also as Executable Code as the case may be.
+
+— 'Derivative Works':the works or software that could be created by the Licensee, based upon the Original Work or
+modifications thereof. This Licence does not define the extent of modification or dependence on the Original Work
+required in order to classify a work as a Derivative Work; this extent is determined by copyright law applicable in
+the country mentioned in Article 15.
+
+— 'The Work':the Original Work or its Derivative Works.
+
+— 'The Source Code':the human-readable form of the Work, which is the most convenient for people to study and
+modify.
+
+— 'The Executable Code':any code, which has generally been compiled and, which is meant to be interpreted by
+a computer as a program.
+
+— 'The Licensor':the natural or legal person that distributes or communicates the Work under the Licence.
+
+— 'Contributor(s)':any natural or legal person who modifies the Work under the Licence, or otherwise contributes to
+the creation of a Derivative Work.
+
+— 'The Licensee' or 'You':any natural or legal person who makes any usage of the Work under the terms of the
+Licence.
+
+— 'Distribution' or 'Communication':any act of selling, giving, lending, renting, distributing, communicating,
+transmitting, or otherwise making available, online, or offline, copies of the Work or providing access to its essential
+functionalities at the disposal of any other natural or legal person.
+
+2.Scope of the rights granted by the Licence
+
+The Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable licence to do the following, for
+the duration of copyright vested in the Original Work:
+
+— use the Work in any circumstances and for all usage,
+
+— reproduce the Work,
+
+— modify the Work and make Derivative Works based upon the Work,
+
+— communicate to the public, including the right to make available or display the Work or copies thereof to the public
+and perform publicly, as the case may be, the Work,
+
+— distribute the Work or copies thereof,
+
+— lend and rent the Work or copies thereof,
+
+— sublicense rights in the Work or copies thereof.
+
+Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports, and formats, whether now known or later invented, as far as the
+applicable law permits so.
+
+In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to exercise his moral right to the extent allowed
+by law in order to make effective the licence of the economic rights here above listed.
+
+The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non-exclusive usage rights to any patents held by the Licensor, to the
+extent necessary to make use of the rights granted on the Work under this Licence.
+
+3.Communication of the Source Code
+
+The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form or as Executable Code. If the Work is provided as
+Executable Code, the Licensor provides in addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work along with
+each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in a notice following the copyright notice attached to
+the Work, a repository where the Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the Licensor continues to
+distribute or communicate the Work.
+
+4.Limitations on copyright
+
+Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits from any exception or limitation to the
+exclusive rights of the rights owners in the Work, to the exhaustion of those rights or of other applicable limitations
+thereto.
+
+5.Obligations of the Licensee
+
+The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those
+obligations are the following:
+
+Attribution right: The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or trademarks notices and all notices that refer to
+the Licence and to the disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices, and a copy of the
+Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work
+to carry prominent notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
+
+Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the Original Works or Derivative Works, this
+Distribution or Communication will be done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence unless
+the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of the Licence — for example, by communicating
+'EUPL v. 1.2 only'. The Licensee (becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on the
+Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
+
+Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative Works or copies thereof based upon both
+the Work and another work licensed under a Compatible Licence, this Distribution or Communication can be done
+under the terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, 'Compatible Licence' refers to the licences listed
+in the appendix attached to this Licence. Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with
+his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible Licence shall prevail.
+
+The provision of Source Code: When distributing or communicating copies of the Work, the Licensee will provide
+a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available
+for as long as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
+Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or names
+of the Licensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
+reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
+
+6.Chain of Authorship
+
+The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted hereunder is owned by him/her or
+licensed to him/her and that he/she has the power and authority to grant the Licence.
+
+Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings to the Work is owned by him/her or
+licensed to him/her and that he/she has the power and authority to grant the Licence.
+
+Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions
+to the Work, under the terms of this Licence.
+
+7.Disclaimer of Warranty
+
+The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous Contributors. It is not finished work
+and may therefore contain defects or 'bugs' inherent to this type of development.
+
+For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an 'as is' basis and without warranties of any kind
+concerning the Work, including without limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects or
+errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than copyright as stated in Article 6 of this
+Licence.
+
+This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition for the grant of any rights to the Work.
+
+8.Disclaimer of Liability
+
+Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural persons, the Licensor will in no event be
+liable for any direct or indirect, material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use of the
+Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss
+of data, or any commercial damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage. However,
+the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as far as such laws apply to the Work.
+
+9.Additional agreements
+
+While distributing the Work, You may choose to conclude an additional agreement, defining obligations or services
+consistent with this Licence. However, if accepting obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on your sole
+responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such a Contributor by
+the fact You have accepted any warranty or additional liability.
+
+10.Acceptance of the Licence
+
+The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon 'I agree' placed under the bottom of a window
+displaying the text of this Licence or by affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with the rules of
+applicable law. Clicking on that icon indicates your clear and irrevocable acceptance of this Licence and all of its terms
+and conditions.
+
+Similarly, you irrevocably accept this Licence and all of its terms and conditions by exercising any rights granted to You
+by Article 2 of this Licence, such as the use of the Work, the creation by You of a Derivative Work or the Distribution
+or Communication by You of the Work or copies thereof.
+
+11.Information to the public
+
+In case of any Distribution or Communication of the Work by means of electronic communication by You (for example,
+by offering to download the Work from a remote location) the distribution channel or media (for example, a website)
+must at least provide to the public the information requested by the applicable law regarding the Licensor, the Licence,
+and the way it may be accessible, concluded, stored, and reproduced by the Licensee.
+
+12.Termination of the Licence
+
+The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by the Licensee of the terms
+of the Licence.
+
+Such a termination will not terminate the licences of any person who has received the Work from the Licensee under
+the Licence, provided such persons remain in full compliance with the Licence.
+
+13.Miscellaneous
+
+Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete agreement between the Parties as to the
+Work.
+
+If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, this will not affect the validity or
+enforceability of the Licence as a whole. Such provision will be construed or reformed so as necessary to make it valid
+and enforceable.
+
+The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions or new versions of this Licence or updated versions of
+the Appendix, so far this is required and reasonable, without reducing the scope of the rights granted by the Licence.
+New versions of the Licence will be published with a unique version number.
+
+All linguistic versions of this Licence, approved by the European Commission, have identical value. Parties can take
+advantage of the linguistic version of their choice.
+
+14.Jurisdiction
+
+Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
+

+Build: Master V8.03.768.2025.06.17
+
+Press 'EXIT' to continue with CISS.debian.live.builder.
+
+When you provision ISO images using the Netcup provider, you MUST always supply a globally unique identifier
+for each image via the --control argument. If you omit this flag or reuse an existing identifier, Netcup's
+backend will automatically locate and mount the oldest ISO carrying that same name. In practice, this means
+you might believe you're booting a freshly uploaded image, but in fact, the system silently reattaches an
+earlier one-leading to confusing failures and wasted troubleshooting time.
+
+A separate but related issue emerges when booting certain Debian "cloud" kernel images-specifically those
+matching the patterns *.+bpo-cloud-amd64 or *.+bpo-cloud-arm64-on a Netcup G11 instance or on a Hetzner VM.
+After the initramfs is loaded, the console output often becomes garbled or completely unreadable. This is not
+due to a kernel panic, but rather to a mismatch between the framebuffer mode expected by the initramfs and the
+one actually provided by the virtual hardware. Common workarounds, like editing the boot entry (e) and appending
+
+- 'nomodeset', or
+- 'vga=0x318',
+
+do not resolve the issue because they address legacy VGA modes rather than the EFI framebuffer parameters used
+in modern cloud images.
+
+To mitigate this, you can:
+
+- Use a plain Debian kernel (e.g., linux-image-amd64) instead of the bpo-cloud variants, which are optimized
+  for cloud-init but presume a different console setup.
+
+- Explicitly set an EFI-compatible framebuffer by adding something like 'video=efifb:mode=auto' to the kernel
+  command line. This aligns the initramfs console driver with the actual firmware framebuffer.
+
+- Build a custom initramfs that includes the correct video modules or switches back to a serial console. For
+  example, adding 'console=ttyS0,115200' can force all early messages to the serial port bypassing the
+  graphical framebuffer entirely.
