|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
When installing a gentoo system for the first time, please refer to the wonderfull [gentoo handbook](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64). This page is just installation notes shorthand when you know exactly what you are doing.
|
|
|
|
## Installation media
|
|
|
|
You can get a bootable iso or liveusb from https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/. I recommend the minimal one. To create a bootable usb drive juste use `dd` to copy the image on it. Then boot on this brand new installation media.
|
|
|
|
Once you boot on the installation media, you can start sshd and set a temporary password and proceed with the installation more confortably from another machine :
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
/etc/init.d/sshd start
|
|
passwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to either run `dhcpcd` or manually set an ip and gateway to the machine.
|
|
|
|
## Partitionning
|
|
|
|
There are several options depending on wether you need soft raid, full disk encryption or a simple root device with no additional complications. It will also differ if you are using a virtual machine or a physical one.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
tmux
|
|
blkdiscard /dev/nvme0n1
|
|
sgdisk -n1:0:+2M -t1:EF02 /dev/nvme0n1
|
|
sgdisk -n2:0:+512M -t2:EF00 /dev/nvme0n1
|
|
sgdisk -n3:0:0 -t3:8300 /dev/nvme0n1
|
|
mkfs.fat -F 32 -n efi-boot /dev/nvme0n1p2
|
|
mkfs.xfs /dev/nvme0n1p3
|
|
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
|
|
cd /mnt/gentoo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure you do not repeat the mistake I too often make by mounting something to /mnt while using the liveusb/livecd. You will lose your shell if you do this and will need to reboot!
|
|
|
|
## Get the stage3 and chroot into it
|
|
|
|
Get the stage 3 installation file from https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/. I personnaly use the non-multilib one from the advanced choices, since I am no longer using and 32bits software except steam, and I use steam from a multilib chroot.
|
|
|
|
Put the archive on the server in /mnt/gentoo (you can simply wget it from there), then extract it :
|
|
```sh
|
|
tar xpf stage3-*.tar.xz --xattrs-include='*.*' --numeric-owner
|
|
mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 boot
|
|
mount -R /proc proc
|
|
mount -R /sys sys
|
|
mount -R /dev dev
|
|
chroot .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Initial configuration
|
|
|
|
We prepare the local language of the system :
|
|
```sh
|
|
echo 'LANG="en_US.utf8"' > /etc/env.d/02locale
|
|
echo 'en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8' >> /etc/locale.gen
|
|
locale-gen
|
|
env-update && source /etc/profile
|
|
echo 'nameserver 1.1.1.1' > /etc/resolv.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We set a loop device to hold the portage tree. It will be formatted with optimisation for the many small files that compose it :
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p /srv/gentoo-distfiles
|
|
truncate -s 10G /portage.img
|
|
mke2fs -b 1024 -i 2048 -m 0 -O "dir_index" -F /portage.img
|
|
tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /portage.img
|
|
mkdir /usr/portage
|
|
mount -o loop,noatime,nodev /portage.img /usr/portage/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We set default compilation options and flags. If you are not me and cannot rsync this location, you can browse it from https://packages.adyxax.org/x86-64/etc/portage/ :
|
|
```sh
|
|
rsync -a --delete packages.adyxax.org:/srv/gentoo-builder/x86-64/etc/portage/ /etc/portage/
|
|
sed -i /etc/portage/make.conf -e s/buildpkg/getbinpkg/
|
|
echo 'PORTAGE_BINHOST="https://packages.adyxax.org/x86-64/packages/"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We get the portage tree and sync the timezone
|
|
```sh
|
|
emerge --sync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Set hostname and timezone
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export HOSTNAME=XXXXX
|
|
sed -i /etc/conf.d/hostname -e /hostname=/s/=.*/=\"${HOSTNAME}\"/
|
|
echo "Europe/Paris" > /etc/timezone
|
|
emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Check cpu flags and compatibility
|
|
|
|
TODO
|
|
```sh
|
|
emerge cpuid2cpuflags -1q
|
|
cpuid2cpuflags
|
|
gcc -### -march=native /usr/include/stdlib.h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rebuild the system
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
emerge --quiet -e @world
|
|
emerge --quiet dosfstools app-admin/logrotate app-admin/syslog-ng app-portage/gentoolkit \
|
|
dev-vcs/git bird openvpn htop net-analyzer/tcpdump net-misc/bridge-utils \
|
|
sys-apps/i2c-tools sys-apps/pciutils sys-apps/usbutils sys-boot/grub sys-fs/ncdu \
|
|
sys-process/lsof net-vpn/wireguard-tools
|
|
emerge --unmerge nano -q
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Grab a working kernel
|
|
|
|
Next we need to Grab a working kernel from our build server along with its modules. If you don't have one already, you have some work to do!
|
|
|
|
Check the necessary hardware support with :
|
|
```sh
|
|
i2cdetect -l
|
|
lspci -nnk
|
|
lsusb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
TODO specific page with details on how to build required modules like the nas for example.
|
|
```sh
|
|
emerge gentoo-sources genkernel -q
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Final configuration steps
|
|
|
|
### fstab
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
|
|
#
|
|
#<fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
|
|
/dev/vda3 / ext4 noatime,discard 0 1
|
|
/dev/vda2 /boot vfat noatime 1 2
|
|
/portage.img /usr/portage ext2 noatime,nodev,loop 0 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### networking
|
|
```sh
|
|
echo 'hostname="phoenix"' > /etc/conf.d/hostname
|
|
echo 'dns_domain_lo="adyxax.org"
|
|
config_eth0="192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
|
|
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.1"' > /etc/conf.d/net
|
|
cd /etc/init.d
|
|
ln -s net.lo net.eth0
|
|
rc-update add net.eth0 boot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Grub
|
|
|
|
TODO especially the conf in /etc/default/grub when using an encrypted /
|
|
|
|
In the case of UEFI use something like :
|
|
```sh
|
|
grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/ /dev/nvme1n1
|
|
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### /etc/hosts
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
scp root@collab-jde.nexen.net:/etc/hosts /etc/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### root account access
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p /root/.ssh
|
|
echo ' ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAILOJV391WFRYgCVA2plFB8W8sF9LfbzXZOrxqaOrrwco hurricane' > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
|
passwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Add necessary daemons on boot
|
|
```sh
|
|
rc-update add syslog-ng default
|
|
rc-update add cronie default
|
|
rc-update add sshd default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
net-firewall/shorewall
|
|
...
|
|
rc-update add shorewall default
|
|
sed '/PRODUCTS/s/=.*/="shorewall"/' -i /etc/conf.d/shorewall-init
|
|
rc-update add shorewall-init boot
|
|
|
|
net-analyzer/fail2ban
|
|
echo '[sshd]
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
filter = sshd
|
|
ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/8 10.1.0.0/24 37.187.103.36 137.74.173.247 90.85.207.113
