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 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.

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

./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
