# Arch Linux with LUKS and btrfs on a Hetzner server
## Software
This guide shows how to set up the following software composition:
* [Arch Linux](https://www.archlinux.de/)
* [btrfs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs)
* [LUKS](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt)
## Requirements
Written for a [Dedicated](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server#Dedizierte_Server) [Hetzner](https://www.hetzner.com/) server with the following hardware specifications:
```
CPU1: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz (Cores 8)
Memory: 15973 MB
Disk /dev/sda: 3000 GB (=> 2794 GiB)
Disk /dev/sdb: 3000 GB (=> 2794 GiB)
Total capacity 5589 GiB with 2 Disks
```
## Legend
The following symbols show in which environment the code is executed:
* :computer: Client
* :ambulance: [Hetzner Rescue System](https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Hetzner_Rescue-System/en)
* :ghost: Chroot from Rescue System into Arch
* :minidisc: Arch OS

vgchange -a y
mount /dev/mapper/vg0-root /mnt
```
#### 4.5 Copy "system"
:ambulance: :
```bash
echo 0 >/proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
mkdir /oldroot
cp -va /mnt/. /oldroot/.

```
#### 6.2 Login to server
:computer: :
```bash
ssh-keygen -f "$HOME/.ssh/known_hosts" -R your_server_ip
ssh root@your_server_ip
```
#### 7. Expand filesystem
:computer: :

lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/vg0/root
btrfs filesystem resize max /
```
## 8. Debugging

mount /dev/vg0/root /mnt
mount /dev/md0 /mnt/boot
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
chroot /mnt
```
### 8.2 Logout from chroot environment
:ghost: :ambulance: :
```bash
exit
umount /mnt/boot /mnt/proc /mnt/sys /mnt/dev
umount /mnt
sync
reboot
```
### 8.3 Regenerate GRUB and Arch
:ghost: :
