* Fix EFI_PART typo causing empty UUID in fstabCraig Jennings2026-01-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Used $EFI_PART (undefined) instead of ${EFI_PARTS[0]} when generating fstab, resulting in empty/wrong UUID for /boot mount. This caused "Timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/by-uuid" on boot of newly installed systems.
* Add TODOs for Arch Wiki offline docs and mkosi researchCraig Jennings2026-01-181-0/+17
|
* Add TODO for downgrade package (AUR)Craig Jennings2026-01-181-42/+50
|
* Remove autodetect hook from mkinitcpio for bare metal compatibilityCraig Jennings2026-01-181-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | The autodetect hook filters modules based on currently loaded hardware, which when running from a live ISO means the target system's storage drivers (NVMe, AHCI, etc.) may not be included in the initramfs. This caused boot failures on bare metal with "Timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/by-uuid" because the disk controller wasn't detected. Removing autodetect includes all storage drivers, making the initramfs larger but ensuring compatibility with any hardware configuration.
* Update TODO with correct log filename formatCraig Jennings2026-01-181-3/+3

* Include timestamp in install-archzfs log filenameCraig Jennings2026-01-182-3/+3

* Add timestamp header to install-archzfs.logCraig Jennings2026-01-182-1/+8
|
* Make ZFS encryption optional with interactive promptCraig Jennings2026-01-185-13/+57
| | | | | | | | | 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.

* Update TODO.org: mark completed tasks as doneCraig Jennings2026-01-181-1/+6
| | | | | - Add config file information to README - DONE - Add CI/CD test infrastructure - DONE (Makefile, test-install.sh, test configs)
* Add CI/CD test infrastructureCraig Jennings2026-01-188-0/+606

* Add --no-encrypt flag for testing without encryptionCraig Jennings2026-01-182-22/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | 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 boot-vm.sh convenience scriptCraig Jennings2026-01-181-0/+17
| | | | | Simple wrapper that boots from disk if installed, otherwise from ISO. Saves having to remember --boot-disk flag.
* Add snapshot retention with automatic pruningCraig Jennings2026-01-185-0/+621
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implements hybrid retention policy: - Always keep 20 most recent snapshots - Delete snapshots beyond #20 only if older than 180 days - Genesis snapshot is always protected Features: - zfs-snap-prune script with --dry-run, --test, --verbose modes - Comprehensive test suite (22 tests) - Runs automatically after pacman operations - Daily systemd timer for cleanup - Regenerates GRUB menu after pruning This prevents unbounded snapshot growth while preserving recent history and the genesis snapshot.
* Add grub-zfs-snap for ZFS snapshot boot entriesCraig Jennings2026-01-186-1/+287
| | | | | | | | | | Add ability to boot into ZFS snapshots directly from GRUB menu: - grub-zfs-snap: generates GRUB submenu entries for recent snapshots - 40_zfs_snapshots: GRUB generator script installed to /etc/grub.d/ - zz-grub-zfs-snap.hook: pacman hook for automatic GRUB regeneration The GRUB menu automatically updates after kernel/ZFS package changes. Up to 10 most recent snapshots appear in a "ZFS Snapshots" submenu.
* Add kernel update documentation to READMECraig Jennings2026-01-181-4/+73
| | | | | | | | | Explains how kernel updates work with zfs-dkms on installed systems: - Automatic DKMS rebuild process - Why we use DKMS vs prebuilt packages - How to verify ZFS module after update - Recovery steps if something goes wrong - Pre-pacman snapshot rollback instructions
* Update README with config file documentation and ISO namingCraig Jennings2026-01-181-14/+152
| | | | | | | | | - Add comprehensive "Unattended Installation" section - Document all config file options with examples - Include required vs optional fields table - Add example configurations for common scenarios - Update ISO naming format to archzfs-vmlinuz-{version}-lts-{date} - Update project structure to include config example file
* Fix ZFS boot failure and update ISO naming formatCraig Jennings2026-01-183-2/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fixes: - Fix depmod using wrong kernel version during initramfs generation The script now explicitly specifies the installed kernel version instead of relying on uname -r (which returns the live ISO kernel) - Add kernel module verification before mkinitcpio - Add hostid 0x prefix to spl.spl_hostid kernel parameter ISO naming: - Changed format to: archzfs-vmlinuz-{version}-lts-{date}-{arch}.iso - Example: archzfs-vmlinuz-6.12.65-lts-2026-01-18-x86_64.iso test-vm.sh: - Add QEMU monitor socket for automation support
* Update documentation with testing results and bug fixesCraig Jennings2026-01-184-58/+68

* Fix unattended mode exit issue (return 0)Craig Jennings2026-01-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Bug: In gather_input(), the line `[[ -n "$WIFI_SSID" ]] && info "..."` returns exit code 1 when WIFI_SSID is empty. The subsequent bare `return` inherits this exit code, causing the script to exit with set -e. Fix: Use explicit `return 0` to ensure gather_input returns success.
* Add config file support for unattended installationsCraig Jennings2026-01-187-57/+876
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Documentation: - Comprehensive README.org with 15 sections - Session context tracking file
* Remove Next Steps section from install summaryCraig Jennings2026-01-181-6/+0
