VoidLinuxInstaller script

The VoidLinuxInstaller script is an attempt to make my gist 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:

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:

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:

chmod +x $HOME/*.sh

and finally run it:

bash $HOME/VoidLinuxInstaller.sh

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.
