arch-install

My personal Arch Linux install script using LUKS2 encryption, LVM and btrfs.

RAID can also be used.

Meant for general purpose systems.

Info

ℹ️ | Expect errors to occur during the installation. They only matter if any of the scripts don't finish successfully.

ℹ️ | I recommend disks with at least 512GB (change $DISK_ALLOCATION in install.conf otherwise).

⚠️ | All data on selected disks will be wiped!

❗ | Follow these instructions for virt-manager.
