Install void linux from arch linux

Uses btrfs subvolumes, chroot and the void linux root tarball for a full installation. Can be used for a local system to keep it up-to-date and enable a whole bunch of services for a full wayland workstation experience. This is primarily made for my setup to quickly get void linux up and running for playing around with stuff.

Usage

Currently the playbook defaults to keeping a 'local' system configured. That means, you are running ansible on a void installation and it will operate on the local system itself.

To run like that just invoke (sudo) ansible-playbook play.yaml or (sudo) ansible-playbook play.yaml --tags=backup to run a specific tag.

To run a full installation from an arch host system to a btrfs subvolume (through a void tarball) run (sudo) ansible-playbook -i inv-chroot.yaml play.yaml, or a tagged version.

Roadmap

• printing

• scanning

  • scantopaperless needs 'ImageMagick' pkg
  • sane & sane-airscan

• audio

• arduino/iot

• vpn

• statusbar integration

• custom repository

• automatic kernel rebuild

  • should try to update kernel first (if desired_state == latest)
  • if changed should hook into booster kernel rebuild
  • then delete last kernel?

• automatic kernel boot selection

  • refind should either manually be pointed to correct kernel(s)
  • or kernel/initramfs/config should be renamed to simple items
    • could maybe symlink to booster-void.img and initramfs-void.img?
    • and then do a search and add subitems for each 6.12.xyz kernel found?
