About

Configuration files and scenarios for creating pre-set Arch Linux instance.

Install

Either follow Arch Installation guide or use archinstall ~~or write your own ansible playbook and then give up on maintaining it and fallback to manual install or archinstall~~ for creating mostly pre-set instance. Then finetune with dotfiles etc.

Live arch iso

$ archinstall --config user_configuration.json --disk_layout user_disk_layout.json
# inside tui set root password, double-check disk layout and encryption, create user(s)

Up-to-date state of packages

Requires vim(diff) and jq.

Compare pacman packages and listed in user_configuration.json in packages section:

vimdiff <(pacman -Qenq | sort) <(jq -r '.packages[]' user_configuration.json | sort)

Compare AUR packages:

vimdiff <(pacman -Qemq | sort) <(sort aur.txt)

TODO

section about iso install emulation (for testing)
dotfiles
probably ansible-playbook for fine-tuning after archinstall
pre-installed minimal arch vagrant box for testing UI, dotfiles etc
CI for archinstall --dry-run ?
