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 kernel
4. Install base packages
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 sudo dd if=/path/to/artix.iso of=/dev/[drive letter] bs=2M status=progress or something like Etcher.
• 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/susukin0/deploy-artix/main/setup.sh)

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