# Archibald

  


Archibald is a utility meant to be used on a fresh system, that can help the user automate post-install procedures, such as installing a desktop environment or writing config files somewhere in the system.

### Why just not use archinstall?

Archibald is for people who like to perform the manual installation by hand-book, but can't bother to install and configure every time their favourite set of packages afterwards. Custom window manager setup? No issue for Archibald, create your config file and it's done.

### Requirements

All you need is:

- Python3 installed on your system.

- Sudo enabled on your user account (no root).

- If you have NVIDIA hardware, linux-headers installed.

### How to use

Archibald can be run either in arch-chroot or a booted system. It is meant to be run as a standalone application, so it cannot be installed as a python module yet or used in another project (Maybe in the future).

You can simply ```git clone``` this repo and

```

cd archibald

chmod +x archibald.py

./archibald.py

```

Configuration Profiles are found under Archibald/profiles/. More on it down below.

## Configuration

Profiles can be created and dropped under archibald/profiles/, they must respect a specific set of attributes that will be parsed by Archibald at runtime. Here is an example.py profile:

```

deps     = ["a_profile", "another"]              # Profile dependencies            | list, optional

name     = "Example"                             # Profile name                    | str, MANDATORY

        

drivers  = {                                     # Graphics drivers                | dict, optional

    "A Gpu Manifacturer": ["driverpackage1", "mesasomething"]

}

    

pkgs     = packages.ex + packages.ex2 + .. OR pkgs = ["pkg1", "pkg2" ...]          | list, optional

    

units    = ["test", "example"]                   # Systemd services to enable      | list, optional

    

groups   = ["wheel", "example"]                  # User groups to be assigned      | list, optional

    

shell    = "/bin/somecustomshell"                # Custom shell binary (chsh)      | str, optional

# If aur packages are present in your profile, paru will also be installed automatically

aur      = ["aurpkg", "another"]                 # Favourite aur packages          | list, optional

# If flatpak packages are present in your profile, flatpak will be installed automatically

flatpaks = ["org.some.flatpak", "another"]       # Flatpak list                    | list, optional

bash     = ["a command", "another command"]      # Bash arbitrary commands         | list, optional

files    = {                                     # Custom configuration files      | dict, optional

        

    "filename": [

        "some/system/path/like/{home}",

        "somerandomtexttoputinyourfile"

    ]

}
