During installation I just want to run a set of commands and not do all the settings with raspi-config.
How can I set the keyboard layout just with the command line without any further interaction / UIs?

Does this answer your question? Simple Keyboard Configuration – Dougie Dec 04 '21 at 10:11

If you use ctrl-shift-x in raspberry pi imager, the keyboard setting can be set there - best way to do it "during installation" – Bravo Dec 05 '21 at 09:56

@Dougie I also saw that post but wanted something without any interaction / clicking / typing – Kai Walter Dec 05 '21 at 15:58

I figured out this sed command line to set e.g. german keyboard layout:
sudo sed -i -e 's/XKBLAYOUT="[a-z][a-z]"/XKBLAYOUT="de"/' /etc/default/keyboard

It's possible to do this via raspi-config nonint do_configure_keyboard. E.g. raspi-config nonint do_configure_keyboard us sets the US keyboard layout.
Reference: Where can I learn about the raspi-config noint parameters?
