# Facilitating the installation of Void Linux
|
|
|
|
Running `void.sh install_most` installs the stuff that's the bare minimum for my
|
|
setup.
|
|
|
|
Inside `void.d` configuration files for dracut and the kernel tasks in Void can
|
|
also be found, as well as a file for setting up all the necessary system
|
|
services.
|
|
|
|
## Installation steps
|
|
|
|
### Partitioning and creating filesystems
|
|
|
|
Partitioning was manual. A UEFI setup can have only an ESP partition and the
|
|
main user one. Partitioning can be done with either `gdisk` (more CLI-y) or
|
|
`cfdisk` (more TUI-y). The ESP partition should be formatted as FAT32, and the
|
|
user one should be made into a LUKS2 volume via
|
|
|
|
````````
|
|
cryptsetup --type luks2 luksFormat /path/to/device
|
|
````````
|
|
|
|
This will ask you for the desired password and encryption scheme.
|
|
|
|
To open the LUKS volume, run
|
|
|
|
````````
|
|
cryptsetup open /path/to/device mappername
|
|
````````
|
|
|
|
This will create a device in `/dev/mapper` named `mappername`. This device can
|
|
then de formatted with your filesystem of choice. I tend to go either with
|
|
Brtfs, ext4 or F2FS. The last two support per folder encryption if you want to
|
|
have another layer of protection (can be specially relevant in a multi-user
|
|
setup). Formatting is done by
|
|
|
|
````````
|
|
mkfs.filesystem /path/to/device [-O encrypt]
|
|
````````
|
|
|
|
The filesystem should now be ready to be used!
|
|
|
|
### Installing the root filesystem
|
|
|
|
The current installation setup was made by downloading a ROOTFS image from the
|
|
[Void Linux download page](https://a-hel-fi.m.voidlinux.org/live/current/) and
|
|
untarring it into the root of the desired filesystem.
|
|
|
|
````````
|
|
tar xvf void-x86_64-ROOTFS-20191109.tar.xz
|
|
````````
|
|
|
|
TODO: chroot into, DNS, install basic stuff (iwd and neovim, mostly), install
|
|
Linux, create initramfs, reboot, log into root, allow wheel to access stuff,
|
|
create user with certain groups, init fscrypt (copy rules from Arch Wiki), git
|
|
clone package, stow stuff, run startsway.
