Automate the process of setting up Void Linux.
NOTICE: THIS SCRIPT IS DESIGNED FOR THE MINIMAL ISO void-live-x86_64-XXXXXXXX.iso BUT IT WILL WORK FOR ANY OTHER VERSION.
Download the correct ISO file from voidlinux.org, the ISO file this script was intended to work for should look like this void-live-x86_64-YYYYMMDD.iso, but if you download one that comes with a DE that should also work.
NOTICE The script does not work on MUSL versions. Glibc is required.
After you have completed the installation of Void, continue to Step 2.
$ sudo xbps-install -Syu $ sudo xbps-install -S wgetThe installation script acquired by cloning the repo, but it's much easier to wget the file from github or (for easier typing) my website.
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheGejr/VoidLinuxSetupper/master/void-installer.sh OR $ wget https://gejr.dk/static/void-installer.shThe packages the script installs is neatly split up into different sections, therefore it is easy to read and edit.
The script does not install a Display Manager, so you will login in a TTY, however LightDM packages is ready it just need to be uncommented.
The script installs many of the packages I use therefore it can be a good idea to either look at this section to see the packages it installs or read/edit the code of the script.
A place that is good to edit is the graphics section. By default the script installs Intel graphics drivers, however there is commented code that installs AMD or Nvidia; all you have to do is uncomment and comment the unwanted packages. There is also a section for Virtualization, by default it installs drivers as if you are running void on a host not in a VM.
The script is now ready, give the script the proper rights and execute it.
$ sudo +x void-installer.sh $ ./void-installer.shThis will take some time, so go make a cup of coffee and come back in a bit.
Let me try to explain.
The first thing that happens is it makes sure you are running the script with sudo rights. It then updates the system, and installs the repos multilib, multilib-nonfree, nonfree. It then installs many packages, some is required and some is just my personal preference to install. After all packages have been installed. It proceeds to download a tarball called void-files.tar.xz from my website, the content of the tarball can be seen in this repo in the folder Archive/void-files. This is downloaded and extracted. Some permission is set, and then the content is moved to the correct folders which is ~/, ~/.config/, /etc/ and /usr/. As the last thing in this section, the script cleans up and fixes some permission issues. The script now executes two other scripts. These script is what take the most time of the whole process. The scripts installs Plata themes and Papirus icons and customizes it by replacing the default colors with Void colors.
The script now removes tty{3,4,5,6} as services, and adds a whole bunch of other services. It also sets up a firewall with some basic rules (see firewall rules). The script also sets the default shell to be fish because I like fish. The last thing that the script does is install my own dotfiles. It downloads them from my own website and copies them to the correct places.
Here is a list of all the packages the script by default will install. This can of course be modified by editing the script as explained in STEP 3.2.

The script sets up a firewall using UFW, the rules it sets is:
sudo ufw default deny #sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24 sudo ufw logging off sudo ufw enableThis repo was made possible by Alex from alkusin.net This repo use much of his work, but with an English translation and some improvements to some scripts and settings.
