VoidLinuxInstaller script

The VoidLinuxInstaller script is an attempt to make my gist an interactive bash script.

As stated in the gist, this script provides:

• Trim on any SSD;
• Full Disk Encryption (including /boot) with LUKS;
• Logic Volume Management (LVM);
• Separated /home partition;
• BTRFS as filesystem.

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 KVM 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!

Notes

If you are going to use snapper and snapper-gui, it probably will complain about .snapshots folder already present. To avoid that, please use this reference from the Arch Wiki.
