Arch Linux install scripts

This is a personal collection of shell scripts to install Arch Linux with full disk encryption.

Overview

Arch Linux Encryption Overview Diagram

Requirements

You will need at least:

  • One USB flash drive (better two for a backup)
  • A good passphrase
  • Another USB flash drive with a bootable Arch Linux Install ISO image on it

Usage

  1. Boot into the Arch Linux installation medium.

  2. Plug-in your USB flash drive which should act as your KeyStorage.

  3. Check which devices are your main drive and your KeyStorage USB flash drive

    root@archiso ~ # lsblk 
NAME    MAJ:MIN RM    SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINT
loop0     7:0    0  545.2M  1 loop  /run/archiso/sfs/airootfs
sda       8:0    0  953,9G  0 disk  
sdb       8:16   0      8G  0 disk  
sr0      11:0    1    622M  0 rom   /run/archiso/bootmnt

    In this example sda would be our main drive and sdb the USB flash drive. Remember these as your will be asked for it later.

  4. Connect to the internet if you do not put these scripts onto your bootable USB flash drive.

  5. Get the init.sh script via https://git.io/JvEbY and execute it. Here is the oneliner:

    curl -L https://git.io/JvEbY > init.sh && chmod +x init.sh && ./init.sh

  6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Advanced usage

If you like to set the variables by hand and skip most of the dialogs checkout 00_setup-variables.sh file.
