Reproducible Arch Installation

This guide uses the official Arch ISO and the repository's portable user_configuration.json for the package, service, locale, hostname, and bootloader choices that can be shared safely.

ISO Workflow

  1. Boot the official Arch ISO in UEFI mode.

  2. Confirm that the ISO provides Archinstall 4.4.x before starting.

  3. Fetch or mount this repository, enter Linux/install/archinstall, and run:

    archinstall --config user_configuration.json

  4. Select exactly one target disk.

  5. Choose the default disk layout, Btrfs, compression, and the default subvolumes: @, @home, @log, and @pkg.

  6. Confirm Limine as the bootloader and disable UKI.

  7. Choose or copy the ISO networking configuration so systemd-networkd and iwd work after reboot.

  8. Create user antoinegs with sudo privileges. Do not save credentials in this repository.

  9. Review the generated configuration and the destructive disk summary before installing.

  10. Reboot, clone this repository to ~/gits/configurations, and run Linux/install/bootstrap.

The JSON intentionally does not automate disk choice or the Btrfs layout. A portable disk configuration cannot safely encode both choices across machines, so they must be reviewed interactively for the selected target disk.
