My quick-start archlinux installation workflow

Clone this repository and run commands in the project root directory. Require ~ 20GB of free space (last time full installation was 13GB).

1. First, sync mirrors and install Ansible with dependencies

sudo pacman -Syy python-passlib ansible

2. Second, install and update the submodules, check carefully group_vars/all file (configuration).

git submodule init && git submodule update

3. Run the playbook as root (playbooks will use group_vars/all configuration, including username).

# install core
sudo ansible-playbook -i localhost playbook.yml --tags=base,gnupg,ssh

# import gpg key
gpg --import ../gpg.asc
rm ../gpg.asc

# Add key to sshcontrol
gpg --list-keys --with-keygrip
# find key under pub section Keygrip = ...
echo '123....' >> ~/.gnupg/sshcontrol

# Enable SSH_AGENT_PID
unset SSH_AGENT_PID
if [ "${gnupg_SSH_AUTH_SOCK_by:-0}" -ne $$ ]; then
  export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$(gpgconf --list-dirs agent-ssh-socket)"
fi

# Enable tty
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye >/dev/null

# Install dotfiles & doom emacs
```shell
yadm clone [email protected]:inomoz/dotfiles.git
yadm reset --hard origin/main # be careful with this command
ls -lFa ~

git clone --depth 1 [email protected]:inomoz/doomemacs.git ~/.emacs.d
cd ~/.emacs.d/bin/
./doom install

Install & configure suckless software

mkdir -p ~/Projects/suckless/
cd ~/Projects/suckless/
git clone [email protected]:inomoz/dwm.git
git clone [email protected]:inomoz/slstatus.git

cd dwm
makepkg -fsri

cd ../slstatus
make
sudo make install

Install other packages

sudo ansible-playbook -i localhost playbook.yml --skip-tags=base,gnupg,ssh

# Validate emacs
./doom doctor

# Open emacs end build some packages M-x
pdf-tools-install
vterm
plantuml-download-jar

# It's recommended to reboot, to validate the installation.
reboot

Info

some directories are preconfigured, you can change them if you want for example in user.yml "/var/" used as prefix for logs

Manual tests

ArchLinux 5.18.16-arch1-1

Some tests on complex tasks: Update mirrors before: sudo pacman -Syy

• android
  adb devices - show some devices connected, if they are connected
• arduino
  arduino-cli board list
• base
  • check pacman mirrors sudo pacman -Syy, must include core, extra, community, multilib
  • validate hostname hostname -f
  • validate group id
  • validate logrotate logrotate --debug /etc/logrotate.conf, home/...
  • run some applications: tmux, git, ytfzf, ledger, ipython, sc-im, bash, zsh, krita , inkscape, darktable, blender, godot, maim,
  • validate paccache service systemctl status paccache.timer
• mpv
  • mpv 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ'
  • git clone https://github.com/inomoz/files_samples /tmp/files_samples
  • umpv 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ'
• browsers
  • w3m, lynx
  • using dmenu: firefox, chromium, qutebrowser... can open url: , xdg-open http://acid3.acidtests.org/, xdg-open https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
  • some browsers at first time require manual launch or extra configuration (tor browser)
• [?] colemak-dh
  vconsole works, layout works, layout switch works
• cups
  • add print in cups interface: http://localhost:631/admin
  • drivers auto-copied into ~/Downloads/
  • test print page
• docker
  docker run hello-world, run this after re-login
• gnupg you able push to github with gpg signature
• goesimage
  • systemctl enable --user --now goesimage.timer
  • systemctl status --user goesimage.timer
• media
  copy something to clipboard and run qcode
• mirrorlist
  • sudo systemctl enable reflector-update.timer

  • systemctl status systemd-colemak systemd-resolved
  • ip a
• udisks
  you able to mount some usb devices
• visidata
  xdg-open ...csv
• wacom
  • xsetwacom list devices
  • precision in krita is working
• x
  • xdg-dir exists ls -l ~
  • vkmark -b :duration=2.0 -b vertex:interleave=true -b vertex:interleave=false -b :duration=5.0 -b cube score ~30k
  • resolution was set correctly by autorandr
• zeal
  • you need rsync docsets into ~/Documents/Zeal/docsets
  • tar zcvf - zeal/ | ssh -o IdentityAgent=none inom@baikal "mkdir -p ~/Documents/zeal; cd ~/Documents/; tar xvzf -"
  • run zeal and validate it, including CSS styles
  • install base docsets and custom https://zealusercontributions.vercel.app/

Notes

• Sync your files
• Try to add ssh key and login (external service), git pull, etc
• Check pass and gpg stuff
• Check browser pass integration
• Sync browser bookmarks
• Validate systemd enabled services, like reflector, services list:
• You can install lxapperance to configure theme/fonts/etc and remove it after.
• Verify and configure vappi (firefox, etc)
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration
• Check systemd units
  systemctl list-unit-files --type=service
• Configure backups and system snapshots
• Remove ansible (too heavy)
