My (@DemonInTheCloset) configuration files.

System Requirements

• ArtixLinux (with dinit) (I personally recommend the linux-zen kernel)
  • Might work with Arch Linux, but you'd need to somehow get dinit as you user services manager.
• Configure rclone acording to the documentation It doesn't matter which service you use as long as you name it Drive

Pass

Look at the directory pass_example in this repository:

1. Copy the directory structure
2. Populate files with data using pass edit or pass insert

Common terminology

• # before a command (ie. # pacman -S linux-zen)
  • The command needs to be run either as the root user or through sudo
• $ before a command (ie. $ wget https://wiki.archlinux.org/)
  • The command can (and should) be run without root privileges
• Enable (of a systemd Unit) see systemd
  • Autostart a systemd Unit. This can be done through:
    • # systemctl enable my-unit.service (For things that should always run (ie. Networking))
    • $ systemctl enable --user my-unit.service (For user spacific things (ie. Cloud Sync))
  • Autostart and run now:
    • # systemctl enable --now my-unit.service
    • $ systemctl enable --now --user my-unit.service
• Start (of a systemd Unit) see systemd
  • Run a systemd Unit. This can be done through:
    • # systemctl start my-unit.service (For things that should always run (ie. Networking))
    • $ systemctl start --user my-unit.service (For user spacific things (ie. Cloud Sync))

Setup

1. Prepare passwords database (see Pass)
2. Install chezmoi, pass, and optionally an aur helper (paru in my case)
3. Run chezmoi init DemonInTheCloset (clones this git repo)
4. Run chezmoi apply (copies these dotfiles)
5. Run cat pkglist_headless.txt | pacman -S - (optionally run cat pkglist_headless.txt pkglist_gui.txt pkglist_aur.txt | paru -S - instead)

Post Setup

• Enable fstrim.timer (Only necessary if you are using SSDs)

# systemctl enable --now fstrim.timer
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/fstrim.timer → /usr/lib/systemd/system/fstrim.timer
