Lord Anton Hvornum 252af79e3d * New feature: deployment structure can now import/include other templates (Included templates will be installed first, since we'll assume those are baselines/requirements for slimmer deploy-structs) 
* Deployment scripts strings now supports python string formatting, if parameter  or  is given as options to each command-line (TODO: Add as a global  parameter as well, and treat all strings as formatable)
* Added two templates: workstation + 00:11:22:33:44:55, a example of how to set up a workstation using a template and a custom addition. Also added a default template that is similar to the workstation but does everything in one template. They all use some awk magic to fix alt-tab in Awesome WM, it also creates a "desktop" environment and installs some useful tools and fixes the start menu in Awesome WM.
* Reordering mirrors is now a configurable option (Default turned off, to better suit offline environments)
* Disk/root password now configurable as either a fixed string, or ask for via STDIN (Syntax for now is: )
* deployment targets now a variable (todo: add a parameter/argument)
* SSL support (ignores certificate validation for now, I know this is bad, but until a parameter etc is in place, this has to be a nessecary evil for now)
* Cleaned up a lot of custom variables and baked them into  so it's easier to format strings based off information gathered along the way (such as partition names).
* Error handling: Mostly for missing dependencies and situations, such as not booted in UEFI environment

README.md

archinstall

Just a bare bone automated Arch install with network deployment instructions based on MAC-address.

Autorun on Arch Live CD

# cd ~/archlive
# echo -e "git\npython-psutil" >> packages.both
# echo "cd /root" >> ./airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh
# echo "git clone https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall.git" >> ./airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh
# echo "chmod +x ~/archinstall/archinstall.py" >> ./airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh
# mkdir ./airootfs/etc/skel
# echo '[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && sh -c ~/archinstall/archinstall.py' >> ./airootfs/etc/skel/.zprofile

# rm -v work/build.make_* && ./build.sh -v

Note: ~/archlive might be different on your system, see ArchISO#Setup for more info.

Whenever this live-cd boots, from here on now - it'll run archinstall.py.

CAUTION: If no parameters are given, it will devour the first disk in your system (/dev/sda, /dev/nvme0n1p2 etc).

Manually run it on a booted Live CD

# pacman -Sy git
# git clone https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall.git
# python3 ./archinstall/archinstall.py

Note: (You could also wget the archinstall.py script and skip installing git)

Rerunning a installation

# umount -R /mnt; cryptsetup close /dev/mapper/luksdev
# python3 ./archinstall/archinstall.py

Note: This assumes --post=stay is set to avoid instant reboot at the end.

Some parameters you can give it

--drive=</dev/sdX>
  Which drive to install arch on, if absent, the first disk under /dev/ is used

--size=100% (Default)
  Sets the size of the root filesystem (btrfs)

--start=513MiB (Default)
  Sets the starting location of the root partition
  (TODO: /boot will take up space from 1MiB - <start>, make sure boot is no larger than 513MiB)

--pwfile=/tmp/diskpw (Default)
  Which file to use as the disk encryption password

--hostname=Arcinstall (Default)
  Sets the hostname of the box

--country=SE (Default)
  Default mirror allocation for fetching packages.

--packages='' (Default)
  Which additional packages to install, defaults to none.
  (Space separated as it's passed unchanged to `pacstrap`

--user=<name>
  Adds an additional username to the system (default group Wheel)

--post=reboot (Default)
  After a successful install, reboots into the system.

End note
