#+TITLE: Arch Linux, Phundrak-flavored #+setupfile: headers #+OPTIONS: auto-id:t #+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: #+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: #+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: #+PROPERTY: header-args :tangle no :exports none #+PROPERTY: header-args:sh :tangle no :exports code #+PROPERTY: header-args:fish :exports code :noweb yes #+PROPERTY: header-args:emacs-lisp :exports none :noweb yes :tangle no :cache yes * Introduction :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Introduction-cd5792cd :END: 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. * Install Arch Linux :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Install_Arch_Linux-ac7ad3b2 :END: I usually install Arch from the [[https://www.archlinux.org/download/][vanilla ISO]], however I began using [[https://github.com/MatMoul/archfi][archfi]] to install easily the distro (I’ve done it so many times, I know how it works now). Usually, my distros will be installed on two partitions: ~/home~ and ~/~ (root). If the computer supports EFI bootloaders, the EFI partition will be mounted on ~/boot/efi~. I generally use ~systemd-boot~ 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 when I used to dual-boot. In order to use the ~suspend-then-hibernate~ systemd command, it is necessary to have a swap partition at least twice the size of your installed RAM. That is because when this command will be run, the system will try to save the current state of your machine, stored in your RAM, to the swap filesystem. If there is not enough space, the command will fail, and you won’t be able to use this command. For instance, my current computer has 32GB of RAM, hence my SWAP partition is 16GB large. ** Get the latest, fastest mirrors :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Install_Arch_Linux-Get_the_latest_fastest_mirrors-765401c9 :END: When you boot into the live ISO, execute the following command: #+BEGIN_SRC sh pacman -Sy reflector reflector -c FR -c DE -c BE -l 200 -p http -p https --sort rate \ --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist --verbose #+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. In my case, I am only interested in French, German, and Belgian mirrors. ** Install the system :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Install_Arch_Linux-Install_the_system-3ff49aa6 :END: 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. I’ll need to download the script with ~wget~, but apparently it isn’t installed by default on Arch ISOs anymore, so I’ll need to install it. #+BEGIN_SRC sh pacman -S wget #+END_SRC Now, let’s grab the script. You can check it on [[https://github.com/matmoul/archfi][Github]]. #+BEGIN_SRC sh 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 ~paru~ which I use as my package manager (it is just a wrapper for ~pacman~) and AUR helper, and ~pacman-contrib~ which will help us installing some packages later. Once your system is installed, reboot and remove your installation media from your computer. * Execute bootstrap :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS:fish: :tangle ~/.config/yadm/bootstrap :shebang "#!/usr/bin/fish" :exports code :mkdirp yes :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-e37054ef :END: The first thing I will do is add the [[https://aur.chaotic.cx/][Chaotic AUR]] repository so I can get access to ~paru~ as well as some AUR packages without the need of an AUR helper (ironic considering ~paru~ is one).. #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo pacman-key --recv-key 3056513887B78AEB --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 3056513887B78AEB sudo pacman -U 'https://cdn-mirror.chaotic.cx/chaotic-aur/chaotic-keyring.pkg.tar.zst' 'https://cdn-mirror.chaotic.cx/chaotic-aur/chaotic-mirrorlist.pkg.tar.zst' printf '[chaotic-aur]\nServer = /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist\n' | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf #+END_SRC I can now install ~fish~, ~git~, and ~paru~: #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo pacman -S fish git paru #+END_SRC And now that ~paru~ is available, we can install ~yadm~: #+BEGIN_SRC sh paru -S yadm #+END_SRC ~yadm~ comes with a very handy feature: its bootstrap script. It can be executed automatically once the dotfiles are cloned with yadm: #+BEGIN_SRC sh yadm clone https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/dotfiles # or if labs.phundrak.com is down or too slow for you #yadm clone https://github.com/phundrak/dotfiles #+END_SRC Let’s take a look at what it does. ** Decrypt private yadm files :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Decrypt_private_yadm_files-68af7157 :END: Some private files are stored encrypted in the repository of my yadm dotfiles. I will need them later on during the bootstrap execution. #+BEGIN_SRC fish if test "$USER" = 'phundrak' yadm decrypt else whiptail --yesno "Decrypt private files?" 8 40 && yadm decrypt end #+END_SRC ** Get a correct keyboard layout :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Get_a_correct_keyboard_layout-77d24b30 :END: I use mainly the [[https://bepo.fr/wiki/Accueil][bépo]] layout, a French keyboard layout inspired by Dvorak layouts, however I sometimes need to switch back to the standard French AZERTY or the American QWERTY layout, so I make it so the Menu key switches for me my layout between these three.
