Removed some mirror build specific instructions. 		2018-05-06 23:02:48 +02:00
deployments Update 08:00:27:d4:fd:ef.json 2018-04-07 22:13:55 +02:00
README.md Fixed: customize_rootfs.sh is not always run from /root, meaning 'git clone' would occationally fail to clone into /root rendering the rest of the process invalid. 2018-05-05 19:25:03 +02:00
archinstall.py Fixed: nvme-drive support fixed. parted gives partition numbers, not the actual labels of devices. Hence, parted is scrapped and lsblk is used to determain partition names/labels instead. 2018-05-05 19:13:48 +02:00

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 "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)

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
