In this guide I will walk you through the installation steps to get an elementary OS 6.1 Jólnir system with a luks-encrypted partition which contains a LVM logical volume for the root filesystem that is formatted with btrfs and contains a subvolume @ for / and a subvolume @home for /home. I will show how to optimize the btrfs mount options and how to setup an encrypted swap partition which works with hibernation. This layout enables one to use timeshift which will regularly take snapshots of the system and (optionally) on any apt operation.

In this guide I will walk you through the installation procedure to get a Pop!_OS 22.04 system with a luks-encrypted partition which contains a LVM with a logical volume for the root filesystem that is formatted with btrfs and contains a subvolume @ for / and a subvolume @home for /home. I will show how to optimize the btrfs mount options and how to setup an encrypted swap partition which works with hibernation. This layout enables one to use timeshift which will regularly take snapshots of the system and (optionally) on any apt operation. The recovery system of Pop!_OS is also installed to the disk and accessible via the systemd bootloader.

In this guide I will walk you through the installation procedure to get a Pop!_OS 21.10 system with a luks-encrypted partition which contains a LVM with a logical volume for the root filesystem that is formatted with btrfs and contains a subvolume @ for / and a subvolume @home for /home. I will show how to optimize the btrfs mount options and how to setup an encrypted swap partition which works with hibernation. This layout enables one to use BTRBK which will regularly take snapshots of the system and optionally on any apt operation. The recovery system of Pop!_OS is also installed to the disk and accessible via the systemd bootloader.

I will show how to optimize the btrfs mount options and how to setup an encrypted swap partition which works with hibernation. This layout enables one to use Timeshift and timeshift-autosnap-apt which will regularly take snapshots of the system and particularly on any apt operation. The recovery system of Pop!_OS is also installed to the disk and accessible via the systemd bootloader.

In the following I will go through my post installation steps, i.e. which settings I choose and which apps and containers I install and use on my Raspberry Pi 4 (4 GB)

In this guide I will walk you through the installation procedure to get an Ubuntu 20.10 system with a luks-encrypted partition for the root filesystem (excluding /boot) formatted with btrfs that contains a subvolume @ for / and a subvolume @home for /home running on a Raspberry Pi 4. The system is installed to an external bootable USB drive so no SD card is required. I will show how to optimize the btrfs mount options and how to get a headless server, i.e. remotely unlock the luks partition using Dropbear which enables one to use SSH to decrypt the luks-encrypted partitions after a reboot. This layout enables one to use Timeshift and timeshift-autosnap-apt which will regularly take snapshots of the system and particularly on any apt operation.

In this guide I will walk you through the installation procedure to get an Ubuntu 20.04 system with a luks-encrypted partition for the root filesystem (including /boot) formatted with btrfs that contains a subvolume @ for / and a subvolume @home for /home. The system is set up in a RAID1 managed by the btrfs filesystem. I will show how to optimize the btrfs mount options and how to add key-files to type the luks passphrase only once for each disk for GRUB. I will also cover how to setup encrypted swap partitions. This layout enables one to use Timeshift and timeshift-autosnap-apt which will regularly take snapshots of the system and particularly on any apt operation. Moreover, using grub-btrfs all snapshots can be accessed and booted into from the GRUB menu. Due to the RAID1 managed by btrfs you get redundancy of your data.

I will show how to optimize the btrfs mount options and how to add a key-file to type the luks passphrase only once for GRUB. I will also cover how to setup an encrypted swap partition or swapfile. This layout enables one to use Timeshift and timeshift-autosnap-apt which will regularly take snapshots of the system and particularly on any apt operation. Moreover, using grub-btrfs all snapshots can be accessed and booted into from the GRUB menu.

In the following I will go through my post installation steps on Ubuntu, i.e. which settings I choose and which apps I install and use.

This layout enables one to use Timeshift and timeshift-autosnap-apt which will regularly take snapshots of the system and particularly on any apt operation. The recovery system of Pop!_OS is also installed to both disks and accessible via the systemd bootloaders. Due to the RAID1 managed by btrfs you get redundancy of your data.
