Set up /etc/vconsole.conf
with a keymap and (optionally) a font:
/etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=us
FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
Initramfs
Look for and edit the following lines:
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Networking
Host Name
Make sure a host name is set in /etc/hostname
Then edit /etc/hosts
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain locahost
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.1.1 <hostname>.localdomain <hostname>
Static Addressing
Use systemd-networkd
when a machine will use a static address without consulting a DHCP server.
IPv4 Only
/etc/systemd/network/network.network
[Match]
MACAddress=<mac-address>
[Network]
Address=<ipv4-address>/<mask>
DNS=<ipv4-address>
Gateway=<ipv4-address>
LinkLocalAddressing=no
IPv6AcceptRA=no
IPv4 & IPv6
/etc/systemd/network/network.network
[Match]
MACAddress=<mac-address>
[Network]
Address=<ipv6-address>/<mask>
DNS=<ipv6-address>
Gateway=<ipv6-address>
Address=<ipv4-address>/<mask>
DNS=<ipv4-address>
Gateway=<ipv4-address>
Dynamic Addressing
It's preferable to use connman
or Network Manager
for dynamic addresses as systemd-networkd
doesn't play well with interfaces coming and going.
If you'd rather use systemd-networkd
for DHCP:
/etc/systemd/network/network.network
[Match]
MACAddress=<mac-address>
[Network]
DHCP=yes
[DHCP]
UseMTU=true
Packages
Mirror List
Install and use reflector
to automate the use and selection of mirrors.
sudo pacman -Syu reflector
sudo reflector -c <country> -p https -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Yay
Make sure you have the base-devel
group installed.
sudo pacman -Syu --needed base-devel git
Create a directory where AUR build files will go
sudo mkdir /var/lib/pacman/aur
sudo chmod 1777 /var/lib/pacman/aur
mkdir /var/lib/pacman/aur/$(whoami)
Build yay
.
cd /var/lib/pacman/aur/$(whoami)
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -Ccisr
The create the configuration file.

General Utilities
These packages supplement the base system.
yay -Syu --needed adduser archey3 arj bind-tools bzip2 dmidecode dnsutils fail2ban git haveged htop hwdetect inxi iotop lshw lzop nano ncdu openssh p7zip pacman-contrib perl-rename pkgfile polkit ranger rsync strace sudo tmux unrar unzip vim whois zip
If you are not running inside a VM, you may also wish to add these packages:
yay -Syu hddtemp lm_sensors memtest86+ smartmontools
The havaged
service can be enabled and started right away as no configuration is needed.
sudo systemctl enable --now haveged
Your sensors need to be configured before starting the lm_sensors
service.
Note: This package is useless inside a VM.
sudo sensors-detect
sudo systemctl enable --now lm_sensors
Don't start fail2ban
or sshd
quite yet as they have configuration that needs to be done.
