# VoidLinuxInstaller script

The **VoidLinuxInstaller script** is an attempt to make [my gist](https://gist.github.com/Le0xFF/ff0e3670c06def675bb6920fe8dd64a3) an interactive bash script.

As stated in the gist, this script provides:
- Full Disk Encryption (including `/boot`) with LUKS;
- Logic Volume Management (LVM);
- Separated `/home` partition;
- BTRFS as filesystem.
- Trim on SSD;

All of this is accomplished with the following steps:
1. Changing keyboard layout;
2. Checking internet connection;
3. Wiping a user choosen drive;
4. Partitioning a user choosen drive;
5. Encrypting a user choosen drive;
6. Applying LVM;
7. Formatting partitions to proper filesystems;
8. Creating BTRFS subvolumes;
9. Installing base system;
10. Chrooting.

This script comes from my need to automate my gist as much as I can, and also as a way to learn Bash scripting as well. *This is my first Bash script ever created so bugs, errors and really ugly code are expected!*

I've tried this script a lot with virtual machines and following every step always brought me to a functional system, so there should be no problem from this point of view!

Pull requests are absolutely welcome!

## How to run it

Using wget to download the needed files:

``` bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Le0xFF/VoidLinuxInstaller/main/VoidLinuxInstaller.sh -O $HOME/VoidLinuxInstaller.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Le0xFF/VoidLinuxInstaller/main/chroot.sh -O $HOME/chroot.sh
```

or curl if you prefer:

``` bash
curl -o $HOME/VoidLinuxInstaller.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Le0xFF/VoidLinuxInstaller/main/VoidLinuxInstaller.sh
curl -o $HOME/chroot.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Le0xFF/VoidLinuxInstaller/main/chroot.sh
```

then make them executable:

``` bash
chmod +x $HOME/*.sh
```

and finally run it:

``` bash
bash $HOME/VoidLinuxInstaller.sh
```

## Notes

If you are going to use snapper and [snapper-gui](https://github.com/ricardomv/snapper-gui), it probably will complain about `.snapshots` folder already present.
To avoid that, please use [this reference from the Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snapper#Configuration_of_snapper_and_mount_point).
