# System specification

The goal of this repository is to document and codify my system setup so i dont have to wonder what is
the thing I installed that does that or what did I change in the config for it to work.

This repository defines:
- how a system is bootstrapped
- which system packages and services are installed
- which system-level configuration is applied
- why certain decisions were made (when relevant)

## Arch bootstrap

After writing the [iso](https://archlinux.org/download/) file to a bootable media and booted on the device, archinstall can be used with the profile located in the `installer` directory. It will create the minimal setup for ansible to work on.

```bash
loadkeys be-latin1 # load the belgian keyboard keys
curl -fsL https://git.jika.li/Jika/system-spec/archive/master.tar.gz | tar -xz # download repo archive and extract
cd system-spec/installer && ./patch-disk-config.sh /dev/disk # patch the arch install config with wanted disk as root
archinstall --config user_config.json --creds user_cred.json # check config and then launch the install
```

## Ansible replication

```bash
./install_ansible_aur.sh
ansible-playbook -K base_install.yml
```
## Personal config

For using the install script via ssh first put key (`ssh-keygen`) on gitea.

See dotfiles [repo](htps://git.jika.li/Jika/dotfiles)

## Post install

- Github user config

```bash
git config --global user.name $NAME
git config --global user.email $EMAIL
```

- Rustup init
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
