Automated deployment protocol for secure, encrypted OS environments. Executes Arch Linux installation over SSH to a fully encrypted disk mapped via LVM on LUKS.

Architecture

Source repository: archlinux-installer.

System Specifications

• Architecture: Full Disk Encryption (FDE) utilizing LVM on LUKS.
• Deployment Vector: Remote execution via SSH protocol.
• Storage Provisioning: Automated disk and partition formatting utilizing pre-generated layout files or functional commands.
• Bootloader & Kernel:
  • Dynamic configuration of GRUB and mkinitcpio.
  • Dynamic injection of hooks and modules.
  • Automated GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter definition.
• Cryptography: SSH key pair generation and isolated keystore management.
• Environment: KDE Plasma Desktop Environment paired with SDDM display manager.
• Network Security: Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) baseline ruleset integration.
• Operation Mode: Semi-automatic installation (FAI) with minimal interactive credential injection (passwords, passphrases).

Execution Protocol

1. Clone repository to the initiating host machine.
2. Grant executable permissions to deployment scripts: chmod +x run.sh ./installer/install.sh ./installer/chroot.sh.
3. Execute ./run.sh. The system will establish an SSH connection to the target node and execute the internal deployment sequence (./installer/install.sh -> ./installer/chroot.sh).

Configuration Protocol

Target variables and deployment constraints are defined in files/install.config.
