### 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: 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)`.
