Arch Linux btrfs install

NOTE: Last update to this gist was on Jun 2, 2018. Most of the things here are out of date (e.g consider using zstd for transparent compression instead of lzo), so do your own research as well. Take care!

0. Prerequisites

Plenty of storage - snapshots will take (sort of) a lot of space
Latest Arch Linux install iso because those have newer kernels and more bugfixes in btrfs.
Have previous experience with installing Arch (like you can install arch with a blind fold).
Read everything through

Firefox bullshit removal

Updated: Just use qutebrowser (and disable javascript). The web is done for.

Display Images in Terminal Emulator

As seen here: http://blog.z3bra.org/2014/01/images-in-terminal.html

1. Installing needed stuff ...

Install packages w3m and some terminal emulator which supports images (urxvt, terminator, termite).

... using Arch Linux

Update April 2021: See this comment for a smoother install of Wallabag 2.4.x. I'll leave this gist up for legacy.

Please note that this trick works with the latest release of Wallabag (2.3.7). There is no guarantee that it'll continue to work. Eventually, Wallabag will drop support of SQLite so this setup isn't future-proof.

Install Wallabag 2.2.3

This is the last version with SQLite support that works in a subfolder (like mydomain.tld/wallabag, although deploying Wallabag in a subfolder isn't officially supported). It will allow you to create an user and start the configuration. Get it here: https://static.wallabag.org/releases/, then tar xvf wallabag-release-2.2.3.tar.gz. If this release doesn't work, use the 2.2.2 one. Normally, you will have a file app/config/parameters.yml like that:

	# Backup
	docker exec CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysqldump -u root --password=root DATABASE > backup.sql

	# Restore
	cat backup.sql \| docker exec -i CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysql -u root --password=root DATABASE
