Some scripts and notes to setup and customize my Manjaro Linux environment. This is a constant work-in-progress, but feel to look around for anything useful...

Usage

Prepare on existing system

• Backup SSH keys & config (recommended only for reinstalling the same machine)

cd <backup folder>
tar -cz ~/.ssh | gpg --yes -c -o ./ssh-backup.tgz.gpg

• Backup pass key only (recommended minimal option for pass)

gpg --export-secret-keys --armor "password-store" > pass-key.asc
gpg --export-ownertrust > ownertrust.txt

If you want to keep the primary key offline:

gpg --export-secret-subkeys --armor "password-store" > pass-subkeys.asc

• Backup other settings (e.g. RubyMine, DataGrip, ...)
• Check git repos for uncommited stuff:
  • ~/src
  • ~/.dotfiles
  • ~/.password-store

Setup new environment

• Generate a new SSH key (recommended for new machines)

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 64 -C "your.email@example.com"

• Restore SSH keys & config (only if reinstalling the same machine)

cd ~
rm -rf .ssh
gpg -d <backup-folder>/ssh-backup.tgz.gpg | tar -xz --directory=/
rm <backup-folder>/ssh-backup.tgz.gpg

• Restore pass key only (recommended minimal option for pass)

gpg --import pass-key.asc
gpg --import-ownertrust ownertrust.txt

• Setup Password manager:

keybase login
git clone keybase://private/dsager/password-store ~/.password-store

• Get the dotfiles repo and run scripts

git clone git@github.com:dsager/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install.sh

• Set up git workspace

cd ~/src && gws update

• Set up AWS CLI

aws configure

• Set up kubectl by adding the config file ~/.kube/config

Notes

• Restart gnome shell from other TTY: killall -SIGQUIT gnome-shell
• Make laptop go into deep sleep when suspending:
  • check /sys/power/mem_sleep for default mode
  • use sudo journalctl -n1000 | grep "PM: suspend" | tail to check recent behavior
  • change default by adding mem_sleep_default=deep to kernel command line (e.g. via grub)
• Cleanup disk space:
  • Remove package cache with sudo pacman -Scc
  • Remove orphan packages with sudo pacman -Rns (pacman -Qtdq)
  • Wipe cache with rm -rf ~/.cache/*
  • Cleanup docker with docker system prune & docker volume prune
  • Cleanup systemd journal with sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=50M
