# Hibernate Setup
A Python-based utility for configuring hibernation on Linux systems using a swap file.
This tool automates resume configuration for GRUB and initramfs and optionally creates a swap file of configurable size.
Designed for Arch-based systems (Arch Linux, Manjaro) and intended for automation and reproducible system setup.
---
## 🛠 Features
* Optionally create and activate a swap file
* Automatically detect UUID and resume offset
* Inject `resume` and `resume_offset` into GRUB config
* Regenerate initramfs via `mkinitcpio`
* Interactive confirmation before file changes
* Preview mode for dry-run without changes
* Non-interactive mode for automation
* Root permission required
---
## 📦 Installation
### Using pip (recommended)
Install directly from PyPI:
```bash
pip install setup-hibernate
```
Or system-wide:
```bash
sudo pip install setup-hibernate
```
Or isolated using pipx:
```bash
pipx install setup-hibernate
```
---
### From source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/setup-hibernate.git
cd setup-hibernate
pip install .
```
---
## 🚀 Usage
Run the tool as root:
```bash
sudo setup-hibernate [OPTIONS]
```
Or via Python module:
```bash
sudo python -m setup_hibernate [OPTIONS]
```
---
## ⚙ Options
| Option | Description |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--create-swapfile` | Create and configure a swap file at `/swapfile` |
| `--swap-size <int>` | Set the swap file size in GB (default: `32`) |
| `-p`, `--preview` | Show what would be done without executing any changes (dry-run mode) |
| `--non-interactive` | Apply all changes automatically without prompting for confirmation |
---
## 🧪 Examples
Create a 40GB swapfile and configure hibernation interactively:
```bash
sudo setup-hibernate --create-swapfile --swap-size 40
```
Preview what would happen without actually doing anything:
```bash
sudo setup-hibernate --create-swapfile --swap-size 40 --preview
```
Non-interactive, suitable for automation:
```bash
sudo setup-hibernate --create-swapfile --swap-size 40 --non-interactive
```
---
## ✅ Requirements
* Python 3.8+
* Tools:
* `fallocate`
* `mkswap`
* `swapon`
* `filefrag`
* `findmnt`
* `mkinitcpio`
