Arch-Base

A collection of bash scripts to get Arch Linux up and running with ease.

This is a slightly opinionated setup that uses an EFI boot partition and a BTRFS root partition encrypted with LUKS. There is no swap partition. Swap is provided using the combination of a 2GB swapfile and 1GB of ZRAM. The ZRAM will be the priority swap space before anything is written to the swapfile on disk.

Minimum Recommended Hardware

• 2 CPU Cores
• 2GB RAM. 1GB will be reserved for ZRAM swap.
• 10GB HDD. 2GB will be reserved for swap.

Steps

1. Boot to live ISO
2. Refresh mirrors
   pacman -Syy
3. Install Git
   pacman -S git --noconfirm
4. Clone the git repository
   git clone https://github.com/fsociety3765/arch-base
5. Move into the git repo and make all scripts executable
   cd arch-base/ && chmod +x *.sh
6. Run the base.sh script.
   bash base.sh
7. Follow prompts until the setup is complete.
