Arch Linux Full-Disk Encryption Installation Guide

This guide provides instructions for an Arch Linux installation featuring full-disk encryption via LVM on LUKS and an encrypted boot partition (GRUB) for UEFI systems.

Following the main installation are further instructions to harden against Evil Maid attacks via UEFI Secure Boot custom key enrollment and self-signed kernel and bootloader.

Preface

You will find most of this information pulled from the Arch Wiki and other resources linked thereof.

Note: The system was installed on an NVMe SSD, substitute /dev/nvme0nX with /dev/sdX or your device as needed.

Using a rotary encoder as a volume control

On my RetroPie machine I wanted a hardware volume knob — the games I play use a handful of emulators, and there's no unified software interface for controlling the volume. The speakers I got for my cabinet are great, but don't have their own hardware volume knob. So with a bunch of googling and trial and error, I figured out what I need to pull this off: a rotary encoder and a daemon that listens for the signals it sends.

Rotary encoder

A rotary encoder is like the standard potentiometer (i.e., analog volume knob) we all know, except (a) you can keep turning it in either direction for as long as you want, and thus (b) it talks to the RPi differently than a potentiometer would.

I picked up this one from Adafruit, but there are plenty others available. This rotary encoder also lets you push the knob in and treats that like a button press, so I figured that would be useful for toggling mute on and off.
