HardenedArray / Efficient Encrypted UEFI-Booting Arch Installation
Last active October 22, 2023 12:14
An effcient method to install Arch Linux with encrypted root and swap filesystems and boot from UEFI. Multi-OS, and VirtualBox, UEFI-booting are also supported.
# OBJECTIVE: Install Arch Linux with encrypted root and swap filesystems and boot from UEFI.
# Note this encrypted installation method, while perfectly correct and highly secure, CANNOT support encrypted /boot and
# also CANNOT be subsequently converted to support an encrypted /boot!!! A CLEAN INSTALL will be required!
# Therefore, if you want to have an encrypted /boot or will want an encrypted /boot system at some point in the future,
# please ONLY follow my encrypted /boot installation guide, which lives here:
