## Keyboard layout
`loadkeys de_CH-latin1`
## Check UEFI mode
If the following command works, the system is booted in EFI.
`ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars`
## Verify internet connection
`ping www.realstickman.net`
## Update system clock
`timedatectl set-ntp true`
## Creating partitions
`cfdisk`
Use `EFI System` for EFI partition
Use `Linux filesystem` for other partitions
## (LUKS) Create encrypted partition
*Note: Do not put your /efi partition on an encrypted partition!*
Create encrypted Partition
`cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/(partition) --type luks1`
To view if this worked correctly
`cryptsetup luksDump /dev/(partition)`
Open the partition
Give it a fitting name
`cryptsetup open /dev/(partition) (name)`
Check if this worked with `ls /dev/mapper/`
The name should show up there
## Format partitions
Fat 32:
`mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/(partition)`
*For EFI or BOOT partition*
Ext4:
`mkfs.ext4 /dev/(partition)`
*All other partitions*
btrfs:
`mkfs.btrfs /dev/(partition)`
*All other partitions*
F2FS:
`mkfs.f2fs -O extra_attr,inode_checksum,sb_checksum,compression /dev/(partition)`
*All other partitions*
## Mounting partitions
Generally partitions have to be mounted where you will later use them in your system.
BTRFS with its subvolumes is a special case
For EFI, prefer the /efi mountpoint
```
Root: /mnt
EFI: /mnt/efi or /mnt/boot
Home: /mnt/home
etc...
```
### (BTRFS) Btrfs preparation of subvolumes and mounting
Mount root partition
`mount /dev/(partition) /mnt`
Root subvolume
`btrfs subv create /mnt/@`
Home subvolume
`btrfs subv create /mnt/@home`
Snapshots subvolume for snapper
`btrfs subv create /mnt/@snapshots`
Snapshots subvolume for timeshift
`btrfs subv create /mnt/@timeshift`
Var subvolume
`btrfs subv create /mnt/@var_log`
*If you want to use a swapfile with Snapper, create a new subvolume now*
Swap subvolume
`btrfs subv create /mnt/@swap`
`umount /mnt`
Mount root
`mount -o noatime,compress-force=zstd,space_cache=v2,subvol=@ /dev/(partition) /mnt`
With /efi
`mkdir -p /mnt/{efi,home,.snapshots,var/log,swap}`
With /boot
`mkdir -p /mnt/{boot,home,.snapshots,var/log,swap}`
With /boot and timeshift
`mkdir -p /mnt/{boot,home,timeshift-btrfs,var/log,swap}`
Mount home
`mount -o noatime,compress-force=zstd,space_cache=v2,subvol=@home /dev/(partition) /mnt/home`
Mount snapshots for snapper
`mount -o noatime,compress-force=zstd,space_cache=v2,subvol=@snapshots /dev/(partition) /mnt/.snapshots`
Mount snapshots for timeshift
`mount -o noatime,compress-force=zstd,space_cache=v2,subvol=@timeshift /dev/(partition) /mnt/timeshift-btrfs`
Mount var
`mount -o noatime,compress-force=zstd,space_cache=v2,subvol=@var_log /dev/(partition) /mnt/var/log`
Swap subvolume
`mount -o noatime,compress-force=zstd,space_cache=v2,subvol=@swap /dev/(partition) /mnt/swap`
**Don't forget mounting other partitions!!**
### (F2FS) Mounting
Mount partition with compression algorithm specified
`mount -o compress_algorithm=zstd /dev/(partition) /mnt`
With /efi
`mkdir -p /mnt/efi`
With /boot
`mkdir -p /mnt/boot`
**Don't forget mounting other partitions!!**
## Swap
### Swap partition
TODO
### Swapfile
#### Normal way
**NOT FOR BTRFS!**
`dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/swapfile bs=1M count=(size) status=progress`
#### (BTRFS) Swapfile in btrfs
*Does not work with snapper*
*Use a separate subvolume in that case*
`truncate -s 0 /mnt/swapfile`
`chattr +C /mnt/swapfile`
`btrfs property set /mnt/swapfile compression none`
`fallocate -l (size)M /mnt/swapfile`
#### Initialising swapfile
`chmod 600 /mnt/swapfile`
`mkswap /mnt/swapfile`
`swapon /mnt/swapfile`
## Essential packages
Some things like the userspace utilities for file management will vary.
See [file systems](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_systems#Types_of_file_systems)
`pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware vim git openssh networkmanager network-manager-applet dialog base-devel linux-headers`
### Microcode

`intel-ucode`
### Filesystems

`btrfs-progs compsize`
F2FS:
`f2fs-tools`
### Wifi

## Generate fstab
`genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab`
**Make sure the fstab file has everything included**
## Chroot into the system
`arch-chroot /mnt`
## Set timezone
`ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich /etc/localtime`
## Set hardware clock
`hwclock --systohc`
## Set locale
`vim /etc/locale.gen`
Uncomment the locales that should be generated.
Make sure to use a UTF-8 entry.
`locale-gen`
`echo "LANG=de_CH.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf`
## Set keymap permanently
`echo "KEYMAP=de_CH-latin1" > /etc/vconsole.conf`
## Set hostname
`echo "(hostname)" > /etc/hostname`
Edit `/etc/hosts`
```
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.1.1 (hostname).localdomain (hostname)
```
## Change root password
`passwd`
## Bootloader installation
### GRUB UEFI
`pacman -S grub efibootmgr`
If you are using encryption, see the next section first. **Make sure to come back here again though**
`grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=(efi partition mountpoint) --bootloader-id=GRUB`
`grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
#### (LUKS) Encryption with /efi
Create keyfile and add it to mkinitcpio.conf
`dd bs=512 count=4 if=/dev/random of=/crypto_keyfile.bin iflag=fullblock`
`chmod 600 /crypto_keyfile.bin`
**This command should be run after installing a new kernel!**
`chmod 600 /boot/initramfs-linux*`
`cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/(partition) /crypto_keyfile.bin`
Include the file in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`
`FILES=(/crypto_keyfile.bin)`
Edit the `HOOKS` section as well. *Example:*
`HOOKS=(base udev autodetect keyboard keymap modconf block encrypt filesystems fsck)`
`mkinitcpio -p linux`
Edit `/etc/default/grub`
`GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y`
Some options in `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT`
**Make sure to change /dev/(partition) to UUID ASAP!**
*Not sure how to actually do that though, will have to read some more.*
`cryptdevice=/dev/(partition):(name)`
`cryptkey=/dev/mapper/(name):(filesystem):/crypto_keyfile.bin`
**Go back and install grub!!**
#### (LUKS) Encryption with /boot
Edit the `HOOKS` section in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf` *Example:*
`HOOKS=(base udev autodetect keyboard keymap modconf block encrypt filesystems fsck)`
`mkinitcpio -p linux`
Next, edit `/etc/default/grub`
Add an option in `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT`
**Make sure to change /dev/(partition) to UUID ASAP!**
*Not sure how to actually do that though, will have to read some more.*
`cryptdevice=/dev/(partition):(name)`
**Go back and install grub!!**
