在Debian / Ubuntu上防止“ apt install -y iptables持久”提示时提示

Question

I'm making a script of auto-starting server.

when I exec following command, I get blue screen prompt. What the name of the scereen?

# apt install -y iptables-persistent

The goal what I wanna do is one of following

• prevent this prompt to raise
• send command (ENTER) to this prompt

Of course, 2-times manual ENTER solve this problem, but I want to automate this step.

what I tried:

• # apt install -y iptables-persistent > /dev/null
• # apt install -y iptables-persistent $ echo "\\n"
• # expect -c "spawn apt install -y iptables-persistent expect\\"\\(.*\\)\\" send --\\"\\n\\""

[ENVIRONMENT]

• Debian 9
• Ubuntu 18.04

Answer 1

Use this command to fully automate the installation

echo iptables-persistent iptables-persistent/autosave_v4 boolean true | sudo debconf-set-selections
echo iptables-persistent iptables-persistent/autosave_v6 boolean true | sudo debconf-set-selections
sudo apt-get -y install iptables-persistent
