Nice! chroot install with btrfs + encryption. This is all pretty much the gold standard. This video will be referenced for years to come. Thanks for making this!
I hope so, I could use a big hit for the channel
What an absolute beast! I've been wanting to understand not only how to install Void like this, but also to do it with BTRFS!
You're always reviewing what I'm thinking! I would likely not have even tried Void if not for your channel!!
I'm glad I could help and I'm glad you gave void a try, it is a great distro, thanks for watching.
Was going to install void on my old laptop hell yea, glad everything's all good Jake. Lots of love
Thanks, hope you enjoy it
Another great video! I always install Void with chroot method and use BTRFS but didn't know much about the encryption. Your channel is always an amazing resource.
Glad I can be of some help, thanks for watching and for the kind words.
Thank you for the first human readable btrfs guide I have ever seen. Personally I have a LVM on luks2 partition besides grub dual boot with windows, so I'm not sure if the luks2 w/ grub issue is just a KVM issue. Cheers to your tutorial!
Glad to do it. I just read that luks2 doesn't like grub, I never tried it, if it works, that's great.
Very cool stuff.
Maybe not for newbie but still a great tutotial for those who want to install Void and want to keep things secure.
Thank you.
@JakeLinux: not sure if you've covered this in past videos (if so, apologies for redundancy)
as i have not seen all your videos (yet) 🙂
two programs that may help/assist void users are: vpm and octoxbps. they are both in the void repos.
vpm is like apt/dnf/yay/zypper for easier syntax to use in a terminal than xbps-install/query. the other is:
octoxbps which is similar to debian's synaptic or arch octopi; a graphical install manager.
appreciations for void coverage and your forthrightness
peace ~ cheers
I have a video out on VPN, just installed octoxbps recently and will be doing a video in it soon.
Love your videos. I appreciate it!!! Thank you!!!
You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoy them.
Nice bro , that btrfs stuff really helped void needs like your totorials , could you make one about unified kernel images and secureboot
Thanks, I will look into the kernel and secureboot and see if there is something I can put together
I wish all distros give us the options to manually install like that, as nice as GUI installers are, many of them don't allow easily configuring subvolumes or partitions. I always thought installing Arch was hard, just from what people on the internet made me believe and that kept me away for long, now It's the only method I can appreciate, and this is practically the same.
I know Debian has something called Debootstrap, but it's kinda complicated compared to this.
Thanks a lot Jake, your channel is one of my favorite channels in the linux world!
Thank you very much for the kind words, it means the world to me, truly. The idea that arch is hard to install i think is put out there on purpose, as.lpng as there is good documentation or a good tutorial, manual installs are the way to go and a lot easier than people think.
Sweet vid Jake.
Thanks
Nice work
Thank you
Amazing! You're the goat
Thank you
the only reason i am watching this is because you are the one of VERY few among all linux youtube casts, who is ACTUALLY very skilled.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words and hope I don't disappoint in the future.
@@JakeLinux hopefully i can continue learning from you, please keep it up! esp on void linux topic
very nice video, void is a pretty good distro, tried it for a while and loved it, still decided to move because of specific apps that you only get in flats or snaps... even tried a bedrock arch layer and it worked, but super bloated because of bedrock, all this to say, maybe in the future, void might become a titan on the linux world
I am good either way, as long as it sticks around, but even if void goes away, there are still many other good distros out there.
Thanks a lot for this video!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Good Video as always Jake.
Thanks!
Last time I had gone through the void docs, I saw they had used LVM with encryption. I was thinking which was better, LVM or btrfs subvolumes
I have never used lvm, I was going to do the lvm and just follow the docs but a viewer asked me to do btrfs so that is the direction I went.
Just wanted to thank you for help regarding mounting additional hard drives in Void. I was missing elogind package as you wrote, after elogind install and service start I can mount other hard drives under Void.
You're very welcome, I'm glad it worked out.
This is a great guide! If I'm not terribly interested in encrypting my drive would I just omit the "encrypt" step and replace instances of /dev/mapper/cryptvoid with /dev/sda2, change the fstab appropriately, leave out the luks part of the grub config, and skip the keyfile stuff?
Given my use case I doubt it'll be much of an issue to have my drive encrypted.
Thanks, yes, just forget about the crypt setup stuff and change the fstab, and skip key file. You should be good then
great stuff, thanks for making this
nice video but i would like to show how to install a desktop and set up automount and .xsession... hope to see them in the next video...
p.s i do not like btrfs and modernday trends...
@JakeLinux please show me how to install void linux on a laptop with wpa setup.
Can do.
Time to follow this in a vm. My AMD Framework has been a little finicky with getting a stable GUI running. Mint, just fine but boring. Gentoo, everything worked great but no gui. Artix, worked well until it didn't. I spent enough time troubleshooting and hopped again. NixOS seems to be the answer as of now. But the boot process seems to take a hot minute. And wayland hasn't been too stable recently. I hope once I migrate my config to a flake I will have all the issues addressed. If not, I may have to hop again. Void was my least favorite of the more manual distros. But I didn't hate it, if that makes sense.
Enjoy, I'll pretend I didn't hear that void was your least favorite.
How to create a distro through void?
Just need to change the name, desktop environment and etc.
Just use void-mklive to create your own void "distro".
You have a typo under Step 2 - Chroot - 2nd code block: "cp /etc/resolve.conf /mnt/etc/" Should be "cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/"
Thanks for the catch, I appreciate it.
34:00 What does 0 1 and 0 2 do at subvol=@volname 0 2 ??
Those are dump flag and fsck order, those can actually be set to 0 0 on most systems, they have to do with backup and file system check at startup. Just old habits to set them, you could use 0 0 and be just fine.
@@JakeLinuxThanks. At first I thought it was smth like subvol index in the filesystem. Like root 0 home 1 snapshots 2 etc... Then I saw you using 0 2 twice and had a (i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/028/207/Screen_Shot_2019-01-17_at_4.22.43_PM.jpg ) moment lol.
Could you do another videos similar to this one using zfs on root with encryption?
Let me look into it, I have never used zfs.
ohhhh so thats how to get the uuid.... eheh....😅
btw why use cat sometimes? why not ed or vi or something? Any specific reason?
Just makes things easier
@@JakeLinux fair enough lol
I'm still trying to create some template for Autodesk Maya and Vesktop, is not hard but I don't know if I can make this work
Hopefully it works out for you. I am going to mess around with making templates here when I get some time.
i use a system that uses MBR instead of UEFI, i dont know what to do and what to encrypt.
I will cover that soon
its kinda different than arch, i wanna try but in a more simple way, no luks and no btrfs, just ext4 or xfs, for fast install i just wanna try things before delete arch and install void on real machine
I bet I'll have to try Void in a virtual machine...
Give it a try, you may love it
how much does the / directory weigh? df -h ?
Everything seemed to work out fine for me but now when I land land into my account (still without desktop environment) I can’t connect to my WiFi. Even tho it lists my home network, I can’t seem to connect to it. I asked chatgpt as well and it told me to do „dhclient" but I don’t have that installed yet. I would appreciate it a lot if someone could help troubleshoot that issue
Run ls on the /etc/sv directory, you should have wpa_supplicant. Enable that and set up wifi through there, then install the package you prefer to to use for wifi.
I installed void linux on a proxmox vm. I updated it weekly, until it no longer boots. Now I call it de-void.. 8o)
Never had void not boot, no matter how many times I updated. Maybe a VM issue.,
wut if i dont want to encrypt... can u make a video that is titled "installing void linux the archlinux way"
Sure can
@@JakeLinuxhi it is me again,
i just figured out how to "install void linux the arch linux way"
anyways thank you for the video and the post on your website, i am kinda curious how you will do this but i just wanted to say that i figured it out after 3 days of trial and error on real hardware soo that you know how it was frustrating.
thank you again for the content
I'm forced to watch this video! From my inner voice.
Forced? That makes it sound like a bad thing
luks2 can be used with grub
Yeah, I was informed about that, will have to change up my documentation, this was my first use of encryptions and everything I read said use luks1 because of issues with luks2, still works with luks1 though so no harm no foul.
Как установить правильно: nftables на voidlinux?
Oh, it's you Jesus boy! You just got recommended.
It's me, hi. Glad to hear the algorithm is recommending me.
@@JakeLinux Didn't do you any favors. I just clicked on it, realized it was you, and left.
@@callisoncaffrey that's cool, have a good day.
@@JakeLinux Yes yes. Be safe out there.
can you share this script? very good way to create VM's.
I don't have it in script form, I do have all the steps broken down on my website if you want to look there
my favorite way of installing void
It's how I will do it from now on.
What is special with void?
what is difference between this way and way using "void-installer"
This way allows for more control over your install.
Just not F'ing worth it.. it would take me a week to get this thing up and running.
