arch-config is a bash script that boostraps Arch Linux and configures it:
- BTRFS bootable snapshots from GRUB
- LUKS2 encryption
- ZRAM as swap
- systemd-oomd
- Autodetect VMs and provide guest tools (if available)
- Download an Arch Linux ISO from here
- Flash the ISO onto an USB Flash Drive
- Boot the live environment
- Set the keyboard layout by using
loadkeys <kblayout> - Connect to the internet
- Run either one of these (always check twice before piping internet downloaded scripts into bash):
Short version:
bash <(curl -sL 4k7f.short.gy/install)
Long version:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/develpudu/arch-config/master/install.sh)
The partitions layout is simple and it consists of only two partitions:
- A FAT32 partition (512MiB), mounted at
/boot/as ESP. - A LUKS2 encrypted container, which takes the rest of the disk space, mounted at
/as root.
| Partition Number | Label | Size | Mountpoint | Filesystem |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ESP | 512 MiB | /boot/ | FAT32 |
| 2 | Cryptroot | Rest of the disk | / | BTRFS Encrypted (LUKS2) |
The BTRFS subvolumes layout follows the traditional and suggested layout used by Snapper, you can find it here.
| Subvolume Number | Subvolume Name | Mountpoint |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | @ | / |
| 2 | @home | /home |
| 3 | @root | /root |
| 4 | @srv | /srv |
| 5 | @snapshots | /.snapshots |
| 6 | @var_log | /var/log |
| 7 | @var_pkgs | /var/cache/pacman/pkg |
