Helper script to install Arch Linux with ZFSBootMenu from within a running Arch live CD ISO image

Prep

The script expects minimal prep on your end. Please make sure that before execution at least one of the following conditions are met.

  • Your machine has exactly one partition with partition type code BF00 ("Solaris root")

How to run this?

  • Boot an Arch Linux live CD ISO image
  • Run: 
    curl -s https://quico.space/hygienic-books/config-jetbrains-ides/raw/branch/master/colors.scheme.xml | bash

Steps

The scripts takes the following installation steps.

  1. Install ZFS with github.com/eoli3n/archiso-zfs

Post-run manual steps

When all is said and done you're goig to want to at least touch these points in your new Arch Linux install:

  • Hostname: We chose a pseudo-randomly generated 8-character string with pwgen
  • Unprivileged user accounts: The OS was installed only with a root account
  • Passwords
    • ZFS: The password for all datasets underneath zpool is password.
    • Local root account: The local root account's password is password.
  • Arch User Repository (AUR) helper: We installed paru as our AUR helper, we installed from GitHub via makepkg -si. You may want to replace that by an AUR native installation e.g. by doing paru paru.
