ansible-arch-install

An Ansible playbook to help install Arch Linux.

Usage

After booting from the Arch installation media, you will need to:

  1. Set the root password using the passwd command.
  2. Use vim to edit the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config by changing the ChallengeResponseAuthentication setting to yes.
  3. Restart the ssh service using systemctl restart sshd.
  4. Create a keyfile on your local host containing the password for your LUKS root volume via echo -n "your_password" > keyfile.
  5. Generate a hash for the password to be used on your personal account using mkpasswd --method=sha-512.

At this point we are able to login remotely as root, so we can populate inventory.yml and run site.yml:

ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml site.yml

Note that you may have to fiddle with the UEFI settings in the BIOS in order to get the new installation to boot.

At this point your new Arch Linux system is ready to be configured. The project jsf9k/ansible-home can be used for this purpose.
