[easy-arch](https://github.com/classy-giraffe/easy-arch) is a **bash script** that boostraps [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org/) with sane opinionated defaults.
|
|
|
|
- **BTRFS snapshots**: you will have a resilient set up that will automatically takes snapshots of your volumes based on a weekly schedule
|
|
- **LUKS2 encryption**: your data will live on a LUKS2 partition protected by a password
|
|
- **ZRAM**: we use ZRAM which is a modern technology that allows us to use ram as a disk and swaps on it which is way faster than traditional swap
|
|
- **systemd-oomd**: systemd-oomd makes sure that OOM killing happens in the userspace rather than resorting to the traditional OOM killing which happens at kernel level
|
|
- **VM additions**: we aim to provide guest tools if we detect that you're installing Arch Linux on a virtualized environment such as VMWare Workstation, VirtualBox, QEMU-KVM etc...
|
|
- **User setup**: you'll be walked through the process of setting up a default user account with sudo permissions
|

|
## One-step Automated Install (shorter)
|
|
|
|
### `bash <(curl -sL bit.ly/easy-arch)`
|
|
|
|
## Alternative Methods (manual)

## Partitions layout
|
|
|
|
The **partitions layout** is simple and it consists of only two partitions:
|
|
1. A **FAT32** partition (512MiB), mounted at `/boot/` as ESP.
|
|
2. 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) |
|
|
|
|
## BTRFS subvolumes layout
|
|
|
|
The **BTRFS subvolumes layout** follows the traditional and suggested layout used by **Snapper**, you can find it [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Snapper#Suggested_filesystem_layout).
|
|
|
|
| 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 |
