Dotfiles

The public part of my personal configuration.

Installation

From Scratch

For a full installation follow step 1 and all substeps from Archlinux - Installation guide. Also make sure that any other drive you want in your fstab file is also mounted. After this you will want to run:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jokesper/dotfiles/main/.dotfiles/arch.sh | bash -s <path> <hostname> <kernel> <username>

The paramaters are as follows:

• <path> is your mount point, e.g. if you followed step 1.11 it should be /mnt
• <hostname> is the hostname for the new machine (e.g. read Choosing a Name for Your Computer)
• <kernel> the specific kernel you want to use which may be one of:
  • stable
  • hardened
  • lts
  • rt-lts
  • zen
  • any available kernel package
• <username> the username of the default account, which also is in the wheel group

An example of this command may be:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jokesper/dotfiles/main/.dotfiles/arch.sh | bash -s /mnt my-new-computer stable "John Doe"

On a new User

This repo has strong entanglement between system and user. It is designed as a single user system. If you still want to add a new user run the following commands, but be warned, they will destroy your previous home directory.

bash +O dotglob +O nullglob -c 'rm -rf ~/*'
git clone https://github.com/jokesper/dotfiles.git ~

Contributing

You probably shouldn't. Though if you still want to, I will review them. In such cases I might also consider extracting them into a separate repository.
