arch-bootstrap

Set of bash scripts for bootstrapping Arch Linux.

• CALIS - Custom Arch Linux Installation Script
• QALACS - Qaraluch's Arch Linux Auto Config Script

Installation of user's dotfiles is not within scope of above scripts anymore.

For installation Arch Linux on WSL2 see instruction.

⚠️ Disclaimer:

This code is published in good faith and for learning purpose only. The code is not fully tested, so any usage of it is strictly at your own risk 🙈.

1. CALIS

First of scripts is Custom Arch Linux Installation Script (CALIS). Main purpose of it is installation of minimal Arch Linux i.e:

• updates system clock,
• creates partitions,
• format partitions,
• install Arch Linux libs,
• generate fstab,
• setup hostname and creates /etc/hosts file,
• download chroot script and run it.

Before run it edit variables in it in order to setup important information. ⚠️ DO RUN THIS WITH EXTRA CAUTION because is it reformatting /dev/sda device.

Chroot

Script calis-chroot.sh performs following tasks in newly created Arch Linux system:

• set up locale to US
• configure timezone to Warsaw one
• set up polish keyboard
• installs systemd-boot bootloader
• installs NetworkManager

There is possibility to reedit script file by aborting script and run it again by:

bash /mnt/chroot.sh

Calis installation

Boot with the Arch Linux image found here.

Download the script with:

curl -LO https://git.io/calis.sh

or

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qaraluch/arch-bootstrap/master/calis.sh -Lo calis.sh

And launch the script with:

chmod +x ./calis.sh
./calis.sh

then follow the on-screen instructions to completion. That's it.

For more info read the source code 📄.

2. QALACS

Next scripts is Qaraluch's Arch Linux Auto Config Script (QALACS) witch set up a functional Arch Linux environment:

• create user
• install basic linux applications from app list
• install AUR helper

Qalacs installation

After Calis script installation create temp dir:

mkdir /tmp/qalacs
cd /tmp/qalacs

And download the script:

curl -LO https://git.io/qalacs.sh

or

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qaraluch/arch-bootstrap/master/qalacs.sh -Lo qalacs.sh

Launch the script with:

chmod +x qalacs.sh
./qalacs.sh download      # download app list
./qalacs.sh show          # show app list
./qalacs.sh run           # run script

then follow the on-screen instructions to completion. That's it.
