archangel/custom/install-archzfs.conf.example, branch v0.8Arch Linux installer ISO — ZFS-on-root or BTRFS, doubles as rescue disk
https://git.cjennings.net/archangel/atom?h=v0.82026-01-24T02:05:01+00:00Phase 1.5: Rename to archangel2026-01-24T02:05:01+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-01-24T02:05:01+00:00urn:sha1:f757fedf2a88760d5ddd3a815998f15572a20069
- Rename install-archzfs → archangel
- Rename install-archzfs.conf.example → archangel.conf.example
- Update build.sh to use new names
- Update script header with dual-filesystem description
- Update log file names to archangel-*
The installer is now called "archangel" reflecting its expanded
scope: snapshot-based recovery for both ZFS and Btrfs filesystems.
Phase 1.4: Add filesystem selection prompt2026-01-24T02:02:02+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-01-24T02:02:02+00:00urn:sha1:53e82d802dba330ec8e5a568d6250e04f1193f0c
- Add FILESYSTEM variable to config (zfs or btrfs)
- Add select_filesystem() function with fzf support
- Update gather_input() to prompt for filesystem in interactive mode
- Add validation for FILESYSTEM in unattended mode
- Btrfs selection errors with "not yet implemented"
- Update banner to show "Archangel" branding
- Update config example with FILESYSTEM option
Groundwork for btrfs support - filesystem choice is now captured,
installation logic gates on FILESYSTEM variable.
Make ZFS encryption optional with interactive prompt2026-01-19T00:53:47+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-01-19T00:53:47+00:00urn:sha1:031c6102f42184d8b6614695760fd11249b1c5f2
Add get_encryption_choice() to ask user whether to enable encryption
during interactive install. Remove --no-encrypt CLI flag in favor of
config file NO_ENCRYPT option for unattended installs. Update tests
to rely on config file setting instead of flag.
Also: fix ISO label to ARCHZFS for stable GRUB entries, add TODO items.
Add --no-encrypt flag for testing without encryption2026-01-18T17:52:17+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-01-18T17:52:17+00:00urn:sha1:3ecf4e25cb52ca1ca57c386821f66e6a3b894848
Allows CI/CD testing without ZFS encryption passphrase prompts:
- --no-encrypt flag on command line
- NO_ENCRYPT=yes in config file
- Skips passphrase prompt in interactive mode
- Creates pool without encryption options
This enables fully automated VM testing without needing to
enter passphrase at boot time.
Add config file support for unattended installations2026-01-18T08:01:01+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-01-18T08:01:01+00:00urn:sha1:5bd18b6f6a3ea89c900549c530af2a256094b917
Features:
- --config-file option for automated installs
- Example config at /root/install-archzfs.conf.example
- Validates required fields before install
- Config only used when explicitly specified (safety)
Bug fixes:
- Fix pacstrap hanging on provider prompts (use yes pipe)
- Remove fsck from mkinitcpio HOOKS (ZFS doesn't use fsck)
- Add hostid support for ZFS boot
- Add spl.spl_hostid to kernel command line
