Archnow

Archnow aims to be an arch linux installer as simple as the ubuntu installer. It asks 4 questions:

• which drive to install arch on
• a hostname
• a username
• a password.

Features

• btrfs file system
• automatically finds the fastest arch mirrors with reflector
• installs core linux and development tools
• installs yay, an AUR helper
• configures zsh with the grml zsh config and sets it as the default shell
• enables openssh server
• ejects the CD and reboots after installing
• includes a script to secure the server from SSH password brute-forces

Caveats

• designed to work in VirtualBox only
  • it won't work on a real machine
• requires an internet connection

How to use

1. Boot arch linux off of the official ISO, found here.
2. In the terminal, run wget https://xmb5.github.io/archnow/get -O- | sh
3. Answer the questions
4. Wait for arch to install
5. From your computer, run ssh-copy-id user@server-ip (replacing user and server IP respectively) and enter your password
6. SSH into the server and run ssh-secure, which disables password authentication over SSH
