# Arch Linux installation to serve as a docker host
###### guide-by-example
![logo](https://i.imgur.com/SkENpGn.png)
# Purpose
Linux that will run docker.
This is not a hand hodling explaining guide how to install arch.</br>
It's more of a checklist on what to do if you already done it
and know what you are doing.</br>
Google for plenty of tutorials and youtube videos alongside arch wiki.

# Make installation usb
[wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_flash_installation_media)
`sudo dd bs=4M if=archlinux-2020.05.01-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress oflag=direct`
The above command will fuck your machine up if you dunno what you are doing.
# Boot from the usb
This is BIOS/MBR setup as I am running on an old thinkpad with a busted screen,
plus I like the simplicity of it.</br>
So if theres boot menu option choose non-uefi.
# Installation
* create a single partition and mark it bootable</br>
`cfdisk -z /dev/sda`
* build ext4 filesystem on it</br>
`mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1`
* mount the new partition</br>
`mount /dev/sda1 /mnt`
* choose geographicly close mirror, `dd` deletes entire line in vim</br>
`vim /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`
* install the base system </br>
`pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware base-devel grub vim`
* gnerate fstab</br>
`genfstab -U /mnt > /mnt/etc/fstab`
* chroot in to the new system</br>
`arch-chroot /mnt`
* install grub</br>
`grub-install /dev/sda`</br>
`grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
* set password for root</br>
`passwd`
* remove the bootable media and restart the machine</br>
`exit`</br>
`reboot`
# Basic configuration after the first boot
* login as `root`</br>
* set hostname</br>
`echo docker-host > /etc/hostname`
* add new user and set their password</br>
`useradd -m -G wheel bastard`</br>
`passwd bastard`
* edit sudoers to allow users of the group wheel to sudo</br>
`EDITOR=vim visudo`</br>
*%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL*
* check the network interface name</br>
`ip link`
* set static IP using systemd-networkd and resolv.conf</br>
`vim /etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network`
```
[Match]
Name=enp0s25
[Network]
Address=10.0.19.2/24
Gateway=10.0.19.1
```
`vim /etc/resolv.conf`
```
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 1.1.1.1
```
`systemctl enable --now systemd-networkd`
No troublesome `systemd-resolved` in this setup.
* uncomment desidred locales in locale.gen</br>
`vim /etc/locale.gen`</br>
* generate new locales and set one system wide</br>
`locale-gen`</br>
`localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8`
* select timezone and set it permanent</br>
`tzselect`</br>
`timedatectl set-timezone 'Europe/Bratislava'`
* set hardware clock and sync using ntp</br>
`hwclock --systohc --utc`</br>
`timedatectl set-ntp true`
* setup a swap file</br>
`fallocate -l 8G /swapfile`</br>
`chmod 600 /swapfile`</br>
`mkswap /swapfile`</br>
`vim /etc/fstab`</br>
*/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0*
* reboot</br>
`reboot`
# SSH, Docker, ZSH, AUR
From now on its login as non-root user.
### Setup SSH access
[wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenSSH)
* install openssh package</br>
`sudo pacman -S openssh`
* edit sshd_config</br>
`sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config`</br>
*PasswordAuthentication yes*
* enable sshd service</br>
`sudo systemctl enable --now sshd`
### Setup docker
[Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/docker)
* have `docker` and `docker-compose` packages installed</br>
`sudo pacman -S docker docker-compose`
* enable docker service</br>
`sudo systemctl enable --now docker`
* add non-root user to the docker group</br>
`sudo gpasswd -a bastard docker`
### ZSH shell
[wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/zsh)
I like [Zim](https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw),
it's the fastest zsh framework and out of the box setup nicely
* install zsh and curl packages</br>
`sudo pacman -S zsh git curl`
* install zim, it changes users default shell to zsh</br>
`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh`
* change the default shell to zsh </br>
`chsh -s /bin/zsh`
##### Adding stuff to .zshrc
`vim .zshrc`
* `export EDITOR=vim`
* for ctrl+f prepending sudo
```bash
add_sudo (){
BUFFER="sudo $BUFFER"
zle -w end-of-line
}
zle -N add_sudo
bindkey "^f" add_sudo
```
##### ZSH docker autocomplete
[Here](https://docs.docker.com/compose/completion/#zsh).
For zim it's "Without oh-my-zsh shell" section.
### Access to AUR
Using [Yay](https://github.com/Jguer/yay).
* install git package</br>
`sudo pacman -S git`
* install yay</br>
`git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git`</br>
`cd yay-bin && makepkg -si`</br>
`cd .. && rm -rf yay-bin`</br>
`ctop-bin` and `inxi` are good AUR packages.
# Extra stuff
[wiki - general general recommendations](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/general_recommendations)</br>
[wiki - improving performance](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Improving_performance)</br>
### Some packages
Tools
* `sudo pacman -S fuse curl wget vim nnn bind-tools borg python-llfuse`
Monitoring and testing
* `sudo pacman -S htop lm_sensors iotop nload powertop iproute2`
### Performance and maintenance

`sudo pacman -S util-linux`</br>
`sudo systemctl enable --now fstrim.timer`
* set noatime in fstab to prevent unnecessary keep of read times</br>
`sudo vim /etc/fstab`</br>
*UUID=cdd..addb / ext4 rw,noatime 0 1*

`sudo vim /etc/makepkg.conf`</br>
*MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"*</br>
*PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'*
* clean up old packages weekly, keep last 3</br>

`sudo reflector -l 200 -n 20 -c SK -c CZ -p http --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`
### Comfort

`sudo vim /etc/pacman.conf`</br>
*Color*
### Notebook
* control power events, lid close for example</br>
