Void Linux Installer

LEAN Installer script as a alternative for default void-installer.

FEATURES

• Automated process for LEAN installation of Void Linux MUSL for GPT/UEFI or MBR/BIOS
• Doesn't install any Desktop Environment
• Options for custom install in void-musl.sh header
• Include: GIT and GRUB packages
• Enable automatically DHCP (and internet work on next reboot)
• Option to enable SSH server and Wipe Device
• /home partition separated from /
• With file system options (ext2, ext3, ext4 and xfs) to format / and /home partitions
• sudo poweroff and sudo restart without password
• Swappiness option enabled (but not working - I guess that is a BUG)
• Best for Desktops or Notebooks
• Include nonfree repository

USAGE

• Boot from Void Linux Live Image ¹ and log in as root (password voidlinux)
• Install curl with xbps-install -Sy curl
• Start installation:
  • a. Without customizations: bash <(curl -L git.io/void-musl.sh)
  • b. With customizations: curl -LO git.io/void-musl.sh
    • Edit the header of void-musl.sh file to your taste (using vi for example)
    • Make it executable with chmod +x void-musl.sh
    • ./void-musl.sh
• After installation end, eject the installation media from drive and reboot the machine
• Enjoy ;)

Add sudo in front of all commands if you choose a Live Image WITH Desktop Environment

INFOS

• Necessary Internet connection to install
• Tested:
  • In VirtualBox on Intel Core i3-2367M 1.4GHz with 2 cores and RAM with 1024MB
  • With MUSL GPT/UEFI and MBR/BIOS
  • In Arch x86_64
  • ¹ ↩ Recomendation: use the last live image (today is the published in 20191109)

    void-live-x86_64-musl-20191109[-lxqt].iso live image can not work: i.e. after xbps-install -Sy curl, show the message Transaction aborted due to unresolved dependencies. (Edit: necessary update xbps and libressl packages before any step)

• Using 512MB for EFISIZE should be sufficient to host 7 to 8 kernel versions (only 100MB do not work for another full kernel upgrade)
• The installation process should running about 12 min in VirtualBox with SATA storage

TODO

• Include rEFInd
• Option to install without GRUB (only without criptografy - on Arch it is possible)
• Finish installation musl full crypto with lvm (LUKS + LVM) (encryption for both boot and root partitions)
• Finish installation glibc crypto with lvm
• Validate with glibc and musl installation
• Add flag to crypt or normal installation
• Include brazilian portuguese language option (and us too with International English)
• Option to scape partitioning and formating device
• Verifiy if SWAP is cryptographied (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Swap_encryption)
• Add /home as a cryptographied partition (only /boot and / are cryptografied). See void-install-uefi on Joplin
• Insert a for loop to open and crypto partitions (starting in "echo "[!] Encrypt boot partition"" line - like in "for FS in ${!LV[@]}; do" line)
• Option to install with local repository
• Add TXT files with Keymaps, Timezone, Lang, etc....in root directory as reference
• Change to sh indeed bash (on shebang)
• Update the DEVNAME process to choose with command (removing hard coded)
• Comparing partitions size from MB and KB (choose the best representative - in KB, necessary conversion)
• Create process installation for Void Linux BIOS/MBR MUSL
• Include /home partition in MBR installation
• Add a pos-install script for automate tuning and another configs
• Add a option to choose filesystem for partitions (don't forget to change in fstab too)
• Automatic answer for import keys (on first time repository sync)
