#### Introduction
easy-arch is a script made in order to boostrap a basic Arch Linux environment with snapshots and encryption by using a fully automated process.

### Partitions layout

| Partition Number | Label | Size | Mountpoint | Filesystem |
|------------------|-----------|-------------------|------------|------------------------|
| 1 | ESP | 512 MiB | /boot | FAT32 |
| 2 | Cryptroot | Rest of the disk | / | BTRFS Encrypted (LUKS) |

The partitions layout is pretty straightforward, it's inspired by [this section](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#Btrfs_subvolumes_with_swap) of the Arch Wiki. As you can see there's just a couple of partitions:
1. A FAT32, 512MiB sized, mounted at `/boot` for the ESP.
2. A LUKS encrypted container, which takes the rest of the disk mounted at `/` for the rootfs.
### BTRFS subvolumes layout

| Subvolume Number | Subvolume Name | Mountpoint |
|------------------|----------------|------------------|
| 1 | @ | / |
| 2 | @home | /home |
| 3 | @snapshots | /.snapshots |
| 4 | @var_log | /var/log |
| 5 | @swap | /swap (optional) |

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). I only added a swap subvolume in case you need a swapfile, but it's totally optional. You'll be asked if you want it or not during the script execution. Here's a brief explanation of the BTRFS layout I chose:
2021-02-01 05:43:36 -05:00
1. `@` mounted as `/`.
2. `@home` mounted as `/home`.
3. `@snapshots` mounted as `/.snapshots`.
4. `@var_log` mounted as `/var/log`.
5. `@swap` mounted as `/swap` (_optional_).

### How does it work?
1. Boot into the archiso.
2. Set the keyboard layout by using `loadkeys`.
3. Connect to the internet.
4. Run this `sh <(curl -sL u.nu/ws5e2)`.
