Linux system setup

Home » Knowledge base » Linux system setup

These are notes taken be me through the years of using (mostly) Arch Linux distribution as well as (less) Windows OS.
This can be considered as a ‘loose provisioning guidelines’ and it acts for me as a goto-source-of-copy-paste when [re]configuring [new] system (including containerized).
It’s worth mentioning that these are more like ‘init’-scripts rather than ‘maintenance’-scripts which I publish in a separate section maintenance guideliness (todo – link).

1. arch install

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide

# comes from pacman -S terminus-font
setfont ter-132b


fdisk /dev/the_disk_to_be_partitioned
mkfs.ext4 /dev/root_partition

mount /dev/root_partition /mnt
mount --mkdir /dev/efi_system_partition /mnt/boot/efi

pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware grub efibootmgr os-prober ntfs3g systemd man-db man-pages git\
         vim stow openssh fish networkmanager fwupd btop tlp gnupg pass 

mount --mkdir /dev/win_system_partition /mnt/mnt/win

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

arch-chroot /mnt

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime
hwclock --systohc

#Edit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and other needed UTF-8 locales. Generate the locales by running:
locale-gen

/etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

/etc/hostname
yourhostname

mkinitcpio -P
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub
#then edit /etc/default/grub and add/uncomment:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg


# in case if os-prober doesn't work
# https://www.fosstools.net/fix-arch-os-prober-not-detecting-windows-how-to
sudo vim /etc/grub.d/40_custom

2. essential

Essential packages and configurations

2.1. package management

echo '[multilib]' | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf
echo 'Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist' | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf

2.1.1. update

sudo pacman -Syu

2.1.2. yay for arch aur

sudo pacman -S --noconfirm --needed git base-devel git-delta
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git
cd yay-bin
makepkg -si --noconfirm
cd ..
rm -rf yay-bin

2.1.3. speed up aur compilations

sudo pacman -S ccache
sudo vim /etc/makepkg.conf
MAKEFLAGS="-j16"
BUILDENV=(!distcc color ccache check !sign)
export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache/bin/:$PATH"

2.1.4. pactree

pacin pacman-contrib

2.2. user

useradd -m -s /bin/zsh twist
passwd twist

sudo usermod -aG wheel twist

2.3. time & date

# enable time sync
timedatectl set-ntp true

2.4. envvars

# this probably works only if sway is launched through systemd
# ln -s ~/configs/linux/.config/environment.d ~/.config
# what works for both sway/i3 - .profile and when starting sway/startx from greetd zsh session
# this one works too
# ln -s ~/configs/linux/.pam_environment ~
# but currently I'm simply using .profile

2.5. configs

dot-files basically

sudo pacman --noconfirm -Sy git stow openssh

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/thatwist/configs.git

ln -s ~/configs/linux/bin ~/

stow --target=$HOME --dir=$HOME/configs/linux stow

stow git profile

2.6. terminal

2.6.1. zsh

# zsh+depedencies used within .zshrc
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm zsh exa bat zoxide atuin 
stow zsh

2.6.2. alacritty

pacin alacritty
stow alacritty

2.6.3. oh-my

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
ln -s ~/configs/linux/.zshrc ~/

2.6.4. vim binds in zsh

git clone https://github.com/jeffreytse/zsh-vi-mode \
$ZSH/custom/plugins/zsh-vi-mode
plugins+=(zsh-vi-mode)
or just set -o vi (vi-mode)

2.6.5. kitty

I use alacritty now though..

pacin kitty
ln -s ~/configs/linux/.config/kitty ~/.config/
# set TERM env var to xterm-kitty
# see `toe` output

2.6.6. (on fedora/gnome/ubuntu?) making kitty default terminal (instead of gnome-terminal)

# from here https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/642886/495090
sudo install -vDm755 /dev/null /usr/local/bin/gnome-terminal

#!/bin/bash

[ x"$1" = x"--" ] || { exec /usr/bin/gnome-terminal "$@"; exit 0; }

shift

TITLE="$(basename "$1")"
if [ -n "$TITLE" ]; then
  /usr/bin/kitty -T "$TITLE" "$@"
else
  /usr/bin/kitty             "$@"
fi

2.6.7. zsh plugins

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

Set ZSH_THEME=”powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k” in ~/.zshrc

these plugins are already in soft-linked .zshrc

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

2.6.8. to change shell (chsh)

# fedora
sudo dnf install -y util-linux-user
# arch
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm util-linux
# change shell
chsh -s $(which zsh)

2.6.9. themes (e.g. for gnome-terminal, termite, ..)

# https://mayccoll.github.io/Gogh/
bash -c  "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/vQgMr)"

2.6.10. fortune, cowsay

dnfi fortune-mod
dnfi cowsay

2.6.11. icons

yain icons-in-terminal

2.6.12. fonts

# for better tty console fonts

sudo make install
  • native-comp and other dependencies
    # native
yain libgccjit 
# json
pacin jansson
  • from source zip
    # Dependencies for development

# Download the latest stable release from emacs website
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-26.3.tar.xz
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-26.3.tar.xz.sig

# Verify the tar.xz file
gpg --verify emacs-26.3.tar.xz.sig emacs-26.3.tar.xz

# Once that has been taken care of, extract the tar.xz archive.
tar -xvf emacs-26.3.tar.xz

# Go into the newly made folder
cd emacs-26.3

# Configure the source
./configure

# Compile the source
make

# Check the binary to see that it runs smoothly
src/emacs -Q

# Install the binary
sudo make install
  • fedora

    sudo dnf install emacs

  • from rpm
    1. download through rpmfinder – emacs, emacs-common, emacs-filesystem
    2. remove –noautoremove above
    3. install using dnf install <file>
  • on osx
    brew install emacs --HEAD --with-cocoa --with-gnutls --with-librsvg --with-imagemagick@6 --with-mailutils
brew linkapps emacs
rm /Applications/Emacs.app
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to make alias file to POSIX file "/usr/local/opt/emacs/Emacs.app" at POSIX file "/Applications"'

2.9.2. config

git clone https://github.com/thatwist/.emacs.d.git ~/.config/emacs

Then you have to open .config/emacs/config.org and M-x org-babel-tangle

2.9.3. start as daemon

see configs/bin/emacsclient-smart script

2.9.4. fonts

M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts
M-x nerd-icons-install-fonts
on windows - this will ask to download only, then install it manually

2.9.7. various desktop file shortcuts

sudo ln -s ~/configs/linux/usr/local/share/applications/* /usr/local/share/applications/

2.10. vim

I use emacs 95% of time but still may use vim in some quick sys-files edits

stow vim nvim
# theme
yain vim-gruvbox-git 
# neovim
yain neovim neovim-symlinks nvimpager neovide

4. crypt

These are notes on how I setup and manage sensitive information and configs:

  • passwords/credentials
  • private-keys (ssh, gpg, etc)
  • secure storage
pacin gnupg
chmod 700 ~/.gnupg

4.1. crypt

# these has to be copied in secure way
# - .cert (vpn certs)
# - .gnupg
# - .ssh
# - .authinfo (not used anymore)
# - .gitconfig (not, as far as ssh used and/or auth-info-pass + gh-auth populated in emacs)
# - .aws (creds get from pass)

# I used to have symlinks but switched to simply keeping a separate copies of each of these folders from rclone:crypt storage
rclone copy crypt:<files> ~/<....>
# rclone copy crypt: ~/Documents/crypt
# ln -s ~/Documents/crypt/.aws ~/.aws
# ln -s ~/Documents/crypt/.ssh ~/.ssh
# ln -s ~/Documents/crypt/.gnupg ~/.gnupg

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

4.2. test if gpg works

# list pub keys
gpg -k
# list priv keys
gpg -K
# encrypt
echo "testsdf" > test.txt
gpg -r twist522@gmail.com -e test.txt
# decrypt
gpg -d test.txt.gpg

4.3. pass

pacin pass
pass init <gpg-key>
pass git init
pass git remote add origin git@github.com:thatwist/pass-store.git
