This is my collection of dotfiles for my daily GNU/Linux environment, tweaked
to my liking. If you wish to get the same setup as mine, follow the
instructions below.
As you can see, I personally use [[https://fishshell.com/ ][fish ]] as my shell of choice, and [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ ][Emacs ]] using
[[http://spacemacs.org ][Spacemacs ]] (still with Emacs keybinding) as my main text editor.
I also use [[https://github.com/resloved/i3 ][Resloved ]]’ s [[https://github.com/resloved/i3 ][fork ]] of [[https://github.com/Airblader/i3 ][i3-gaps ]] with two [[https://github.com/jaagr/polybar ][polybar ]] bars and [[https://github.com/tryone144 ][Tryone144 ]]’ s
[[https://github.com/tryone144/compton ][fork ]] of [[https://github.com/chjj/compton ][Compton ]]. The colors scheme for [[https://github.com/davatorium/rofi ][rofi ]], Emacs and polybar are chosen from
the wallpapers using [[https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal ][pywal ]].
* Features
- Emacs configuration perfectly tailored for my own use
- Beautiful and comfy i3 and polybar configuration
- And enough information below to get basically the same distro install as I
have on my main computer and my travel laptop.

- And a bunch of other stuff, see below
And some other stuff scattered around in my dotfiles.
BTW, I use Arch.
* Installation
Here will be presented what I do to get my system up and running on a fresh
Arch Linux install. These installation instructions were written in order to
get an Arch Linux distribution up and running with the same configuration as
my main computer’ s and my travelling laptop’ s configuration.
2019-09-21 16:10:01 +00:00
** Install Arch Linux
2019-09-21 16:36:34 +00:00
I usually install Arch from the [[https://www.archlinux.org/download/ ][vanilla ISO ]], however I began using [[https://github.com/MatMoul/archfi ][archfi ]] to
2019-09-21 16:10:01 +00:00
install easily the distro (I’ ve done it so many times, I know how it works
now). Usually, my distros will be installed on at least two partitions, one
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
dedicated to =/home= , the other to the root partition =/= .
If the computer supports EFI bootloaders, the EFI partition will be mounted
on =/boot= . I generally use rEFInd as my boot manager, but if you are more
comfortable with another one, just install what you want. Be aware that if
you format your =/boot= partition, you will delete all boot managers that
already exist; so, if you are dual-booting, *DO NOT FORMAT IT* . Yes, I made
the mistake of wiping the Windows boot manager.
The swap partition is always at least 4GB large, and I should have a total of
12GB of combined RAM and swap. This means on my main computer I have 16GB of
RAM and 4GB of swap, but on my thinkpad I have 4GB of RAM and 8GB of swap.
*** Get the latest live system with fast mirrors
When you boot into the live ISO, execute the following command:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :exports code
pacman -Syu reflector
reflector --country France --country Germany --latest 200 \
--protocol http --protocol https --sort rate \
--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#+END_SRC
This will update the packages from your live ISO, and you will get the best
mirrors for your installation. Of course, change the countries accordingly
to your location.
*** Install the system
Then you can use a custom script to ease your installation of Arch if you do
not wish to do it manually. Personally, I’ ve done it several times already,
I know how the distro works, I just want to be able to install my distro
quickly now.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :exports code
wget archfi.sf.net/archfi
# Or from matmoul.github.io/archfi if SourceForge is down
sh archfi
#+END_SRC
Then, follow the instructions and install Arch Linux. Take the opportunity
to install as many packages as you need, mainly =yay= which I use as my
package manager (it is just a wrapper for =pacman= ) and AUR helper.
2019-09-21 16:10:01 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
Once your system is installed, reboot and remove your installation media
from your computer.
2019-09-26 14:50:39 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
** Install =yay= if it hasn’ t been done during the system installation
Next step is to install the AUR helper =yay= . *DO NOT* use =yaourt= , it is
discontinued, seriously updated and represents a serious security flaw.
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
Let’ s clone =yay= in a folder =fromGIT= that will be in our home folder. This
is also where we’ ll download every other packages we’ ll install from git.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir ~ :exports code
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
mkdir -p fromGIT
cd fromGIT
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si --noconfirm
#+END_SRC
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
We now have our AUR helper!
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
** Update the system
Congrats, Arch is now installed on your system! But we are not done yet.
Let’ s update the system, just in case some packages were updated during the
installation. And let’ s install =yadm= (our dotfiles manager) and =emacs=
while we’ re at it.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :exports code
yay -Syua yadm emacs
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2019-09-21 15:46:07 +00:00
** Set up =yadm=
=yadm= is my dotfiles manager. It has some very interesting, including host
and machine-specific files and file content, as can be seen in
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
=.config/i3/config##yadm.j2= . It also manages some files system-wide (well,
actually =home= -wide), so you usually don’ t have to symlink anything.
For some reason, when I’ m in i3, polybar crashes when I run any =yadm=
command, so I made the =C-S-p= shortcut to relaunch it at will.
2019-09-21 15:46:07 +00:00
*** Get the dotfiles
You should clone the dotfiles with the help of =yadm= . For that purpose, you
can execute either of the two following commands.
- From [[https://labs.phundrak.fr/phundrak/dotfiles ][labs.phundrak.fr ]]:
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir ~ :exports code
2019-09-21 15:46:07 +00:00
yadm clone https://labs.phundrak.fr/phundrak/dotfiles.git
#+END_SRC
- From [[https://github.com/phundrak/dotfiles ][Github ]]:
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir ~ :exports code
2019-10-13 09:51:12 +00:00
yadm clone https://github.com/phundrak/dotfiles.git
2019-09-21 15:46:07 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2019-10-13 09:51:12 +00:00
To decrypt the encrypted files, run the following command:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir ~ :exports code
yadm decrypt
#+END_SRC
It will ask the passphrase.
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
*** Update the remotes
Now, let’ s make sure we have the correct remotes set up for the dotfiles.
2019-10-13 09:51:12 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :exports code :dir ~/dotfiles
yadm remote set-url origin https://labs.phundrak.fr/phundrak/dotfiles.git
yadm remote add github https://github.com/phundrak/dotfiles.git
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
You can swap the two links if you feel more comfortable with Github as the
=origin= remote, just rename the =github= remote to something like
=phundraklabs= or something like that.
If you have already generated (or copied, but don’ t do that) your SSH keys
2019-10-13 09:51:12 +00:00
and uploaded them to Github and/or to Phundrak Labs, you can use the
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
following urls instead as the remotes’ urls.
#+BEGIN_SRC text
git@labs.phundrak.fr:phundrak/dotfiles.git
git@github.com:phundrak/dotfiles.git
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
*** Get our git submodules
Our dotfiles rely on a couple of submodules we should get. Let’ s download
them.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir ~ :exports code
yadm submodule update --init --recursive
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2019-07-21 01:52:29 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
*** Generate the alt dotfiles
=yadm= will need to generate the host-specific dotfiles. To do so, you can
run the following command:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir ~ :exports code
yadm alt
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
And with that, we should have all of our dotfiles placed where they need to
be!
2019-07-21 01:52:29 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
** Set up Emacs
Now that we have our dotfiles installed, let’ s set up Emacs. First, let’ s
download Spacemacs.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir ~ :exports code
git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/ .emacs.d
#+END_SRC
2019-07-21 01:52:29 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
In our =.emacs.d= directory, let’ s switch Spacemacs’ branch to =develop= .
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir ~/.emacs.d :exports code
git checkout develop
#+END_SRC
The rest of this README’ s code blocks should now be executable from Emacs
itself, and we should be able to have a perfectly running Emacs installation.
That’ s the power of Org-mode!
2019-07-21 01:52:29 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
** Install our needed packages
Now, we can install all the packages I usually have installed on my computer.

Given how many packages will be install from the AUR, I’ ll probably have to
type my password a few times.
2019-07-21 01:52:29 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
For some reasons, if you directly install =compton-tryone-git= without
installing =compton= first, the package won’ t work, which is why I made you
install =compton= in the command above. Now you can install
=compton-tryone-git= . It will replace =compton= , so say “yes” when it warns
you about the package conflict and whether =compton= should be removed.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :exports code
yay -S compton-tryone-git
#+END_SRC
2019-07-21 01:52:29 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
** Enable and start some services
As you can see above, docker has been installed. Let’ s enable and start its
service.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :dir /sudo:: :exports code
systemctl enable docker
systemctl start docker
#+END_SRC
I also usually add myself as a member of the =docker= group because I don’ t
like prefixing every single docker command with =sudo= . So let’ s execute this

Depending on my machine, I might enable the SSH server shipped with
=openssh= . Edit your =/etc/ssh/sshd_config= file as needed, then let’ s do
that here:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :dir /sudo:: :exports code
systemctl enable sshd
systemctl start sshd
#+END_SRC

** Install Fisher and our fish shell extensions
As mentionned above, I use the fish shell as my main shell. And I use some
extensions too that I installed from fisher, and custom functions.First,
let’ s install fisher:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :exports code
curl https://git.io/fisher --create-dirs -sLo \
~/.config/fish/functions/fisher.fish
#+END_SRC
2019-07-21 02:01:46 +00:00
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
Awesome! Now, onto the fisher packages:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :exports code
fisher add edc/bass franciscolourenco/done jethrokuan/fzf jethrokuan/z \
jorgebucaran/fish-getopts laughedelic/pisces matchai/spacefish \
tuvistavie/fish-ssh-agent
#+END_SRC
Now our fish shell is ready to rock! Plus, we already have our custom
functions installed from our dotfiles!

*** Install =i3-gaps-rounded=
I know we already installed =i3-gaps= from the AUR, why reinstall it? Well,
that is certainly bad practices, but this allowed me to already have the
needed dependencies for building =i3= installed. Now, let’ s clone it, build
it, and install it. It will required the password during the actual
installation.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :dir ~/fromGIT :exports code
git clone https://github.com/resloved/i3.git i3-gaps-rounded
cd i3-gaps-rounded
rm -rf build
autoreconf --force --install
mkdir build && cd build
../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir= /etc --disable-sanitizers
make
sudo make install
#+END_SRC

*** Install Polybar Battery
I use a custom tool for my battery indicator which also launches a warning
when the battery is low. However, I need to build it, since it is not
available in the repos nor the AUR.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :dir ~/fromGIT :exports code
git clone https://github.com/drdeimos/polybar_another_battery.git
cd polybar_another_battery
go get -u github.com/distatus/battery/cmd/battery
make build
#+END_SRC
2019-07-21 15:32:00 +00:00
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
Let’ s also create the =~/.local/bin/= directory in which I will put some
custom executables, including the executable we just built.

*** Download Reveal.JS
Now, let’ s download [[https://revealjs.com/#/ ][Reveal.JS ]]. I use it for some of my Org presentations,
and I set it so it is found in =~/fromGIT= .
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :dir ~/fromGIT :exports code
git clone https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js.git
#+END_SRC
2019-07-21 01:52:29 +00:00

** Set your locale
Arch’ s default locale configuration is crap. Like… really. It took me a while
to figure out why some elements in polybar didn’ t work along with some other
pieces of software. So, go and uncomment the locales you’ ll use in
=/etc/locale.gen= . I personally have =en_US.UTF-8= , =fr_FR.UTF-8= and
=ja_JP.UTF-8= uncommented, but what you choose is really up to you. Then run
the following command as sudo.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :dir /sudo:: :exports code
locale-gen
#+END_SRC
Now you can edit your =/etc/locale.conf= file. Mine looks like this, edit it
to fit your needs.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf :exports code
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_NAME=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.UTF-8
#+END_SRC
** Launch X
Aaaand we should finally be good to launch X for the first time! My
installation logs me in the tty by default, and I do this by choice, I don’ t
really like display managers or desktop environments. So, to launch i3, let’ s
run =startx= .

** Create some directories
Thanks to the [[file:.local/bin/dmount ][dmount ]] and [[file:.local/bin/dumount ][dumount ]] utilities, mounting and unmounting devices
can be done very easily. And to add to some easiness, let’ s create a couple
of directories dedicated to what we might mount on our computer:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :dir /sudo:: :exports code
mkdir -p /mnt/ {USB,CD,Android}
#+END_SRC
2019-10-08 13:07:26 +00:00
And in case we need to mount some ext4 partitions on these, let’ s change the
ownership of these directories.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :exports code
sudo chown $USER:(id -g $USER) /mnt/ {USB,CD,Android}
#+END_SRC
2019-10-08 13:01:22 +00:00

** Install Rust
*** Install the toolchains
When using rust, I bounce between two toolchains, the =stable= toolchain and
the =nightly= toolchain. To install them, I will use =rustup= which has
already been installed.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :exports code
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
rustup default nightly
2019-09-26 14:50:39 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
This will both download the nightly toolchain and set it as the default one.
Yup, I like to live dangerously. Now to install the stable toolchain, let’ s
run this:
2019-09-26 14:50:39 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :exports code
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
rustup toolchain install stable
2019-09-26 14:50:39 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
The nightly toolchain is ironically updated about daily (hence the name…
sort of?), so we’ ll often have to run the following command:
2019-09-26 14:50:39 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :exports code
rustup update
#+END_SRC
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
*** Install some utilities
We’ ll need some utilities when developing Rust from Emacs, namely =rustfmt=
and =racer= . Let’ s install them with =cargo= .
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
cargo install rustfmt racer
#+END_SRC
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
** Clean the =pacman= and =yay= cache
Finally, we are almost done! Let’ s clean the cache of =pacman= and =yay=
2019-09-21 15:34:01 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :dir /sudo:: :exports code
2019-09-21 15:18:38 +00:00
yay -Sc --noconfirm
#+END_SRC
2019-09-27 14:28:13 +00:00
You should now run a system pretty close to the one I have on my main
computer and my thinkpad.
