deploy-artix

Overview

This project aims to provide a smooth Artix Linux installation experience, either for beginners or experts who want a reproducable best-practices installation. It supports only runit init system. It also supports cryptsetup.

The installer performs the following main steps (in roughly this order), with some parts depending on the chosen configuration:

1. Configure system (hostname, timezone, keymap, locales, ...)
2. Partition disk
3. Install base packages
4. Install kernel
5. Setup grub
6. Ensure minimal working Artix with dotfiles

Preinstallation

• ISO downloads can be found at artixlinux.org
• ISO files can be burned to drives with dd or something like Etcher.
• sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/artix.iso of=/dev/sd[drive letter] status=progress
• A better method these days is to use Ventoy.

Usage

1. Boot into live environment (both login and password are artix).
2. Connect to the internet.

Ethernet is setup automatically, and Wi-Fi is setup with something like:

sudo rfkill unblock wifi
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
connmanctl # In ConnMan, use respectively: `agent on`, `enable wifi`, `scan wifi`, `services`, `connect wifi_NAME`, `quit`

3. Run the script as root:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YurinDoctrine/deploy-artix/main/setup.sh)

4. Once everything finishes, reboot or poweroff then remove the installation media and boot into Artix (the post-installation networking is done with wpa_supplicant).
