# OBJECTIVE:  Install Arch Linux with encrypted root and swap filesystems and boot from UEFI.  Optionally, we will also encrypt
/boot and then decrypt and mount our entire encrypted system using a single LUKS passphrase entry.

# Note:  This method supports both dedicated Arch installs and those who wish to install Arch on a multi-OS-UEFI booting system.

# External USB HDD/SSD Installers Notes:  Encrypted Arch installs can be booted and run from an external USB HDD or SSD, but
# only when the installation is correctly set up.  There are several necessary changes to my standard procedure you'll want
# to make during the install process.  Read my External USB HDD/SSD Installation section below before proceeding.

# Encrypt

tar cz folder_to_encrypt | \
      openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e > out.tar.gz.enc
      
# Decrypt

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in out.tar.gz.enc | tar xz

# Consider using -pbkdf2 instead of -aes-256-cbc for slower but more secure encryption

Installation of NixOS with encrypted root

These are my notes on instaling NixOS 16.03 on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (4th generation) with an encrypted root file system using UEFI.

Most of this is scrambled from the following pages:

• Encrypted Root on NixOS - Nix Wiki
• Installing NixOS - Chris Martin
• Linux administration and use - Earl Douglas
• Installing NixOS on a ThinkPad W540 with encrypted root - Bluish Coder
