# Moonarch
Reproducible Arch Linux setup with Niri (Wayland compositor), greetd/moongreet, Catppuccin Mocha theming and full automation.
Reproducible Arch Linux desktop environment — fully automated from bare metal to a
configured Niri (scrollable tiling Wayland) system with Catppuccin Mocha theming.
Moonarch combines archinstall for the base system with post-install automation that
handles packages, XDG defaults, system services, greeter, idle management, and a
suite of rofi-based helper tools. The result is a complete development/productivity
desktop that can be rebuilt from scratch in minutes.
## Why These Choices
| Component | Choice | Why |
|-----------|--------|-----|
| **Compositor** | [Niri](https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri) | Scrollable tiling — no fixed grid, infinite horizontal workspace. Purpose-built Wayland compositor, not an X11 port. |
| **Greeter** | [greetd](https://sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/greetd/) + [moongreet](https://gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moongreet) | Minimal, Wayland-native login. moongreet provides GTK4 UI with fingerprint support, running inside its own Niri instance. |
| **Lock Screen** | [moonlock](https://gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moonlock) | ext-session-lock-v1 protocol — compositor guarantees lock on crash. PAM + fprintd, GPU blur, multi-monitor. |
| **Power Menu** | [moonset](https://gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moonset) | GTK4 Layer Shell overlay above Waybar. Lock, logout, hibernate, reboot, shutdown with confirmation. |
| **Idle Manager** | [stasis](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stasis) | Separate AC/battery power plans. Brightness dimming, DPMS, lock (via moonlock), and suspend on configurable timeouts. |
| **Bar** | [Waybar](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar) | Wayland-native, highly customizable. Niri workspace/window modules via community plugins. |
| **Launcher** | [Rofi](https://github.com/lbonn/rofi) (lbonn Wayland fork) | Versatile dmenu replacement. Powers app launcher, clipboard, bluetooth, volume, VPN, CPU governor, and session menus. |
| **Terminal** | [Foot](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot) | Fast, minimal Wayland-native terminal. Server mode for instant window spawning. |
| **Shell** | Zsh | Programmable completion, FZF integration, syntax highlighting. |
| **Audio** | PipeWire | Drop-in replacement for PulseAudio/JACK with lower latency. RNNoise input denoising configured out of the box. |
| **Display Management** | [kanshi](https://sr.ht/~emersion/kanshi/) + [wdisplays](https://github.com/artizirk/wdisplays) | kanshi auto-switches output profiles on hotplug. wdisplays for manual GUI configuration. |
| **Notifications** | [dunst](https://dunst-project.org/) | Lightweight, scriptable. DND mode exposed as Waybar module. |
| **Clipboard** | [cliphist](https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist) + wl-clipboard | Text and image history. Rofi frontend for selection, wl-paste watches the clipboard. |
| **Theme** | Catppuccin Mocha | Consistent dark palette across GTK, terminal, bar, rofi, notifications, and lock screen. |
| **Icons** | Colloid-Grey-Catppuccin-Dark | Catppuccin-colored icon set matching the GTK theme. |
| **Cursor** | Sweet-cursors | Visible on dark backgrounds without clashing. |
| **Font** | UbuntuSans Nerd Font | Clean sans-serif with full Nerd Font glyph coverage for bar/terminal icons. |
| **Wallpaper** | [waypaper](https://github.com/anufrievroman/waypaper) + [swww](https://github.com/LGFae/swww) | waypaper provides GUI selection, swww handles animated transitions (60 FPS, 2s crossfade). |
| **Firewall** | UFW | Simple deny-incoming/allow-outgoing default. Sane baseline without iptables complexity. |
| **AUR Helper** | [paru](https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru) | Rust-based, pacman-compatible. Supports custom PKGBUILD repos for moongreet/moonlock/moonset. |
## Quick Start
### Option A: Download config in the live system
### Install
1. Flash the [Arch ISO](https://archlinux.org/download/) to USB and boot from it
2. In the live system:
1. Boot the [Arch ISO](https://archlinux.org/download/) and download the config:
```bash
curl -O https://gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moonarch/raw/branch/main/config/user_configuration.json
archinstall --config user_configuration.json
```
3. Choose disk + kernel interactively, the rest comes from the config
### Option B: Place config on USB stick (Ventoy)
1. Install [Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/) on USB
2. Copy the Arch ISO and `user_configuration.json` to the Ventoy partition
3. Boot from it, then:
```bash
archinstall --config /run/media/ventoy/user_configuration.json
```
### After archinstall
1. Reboot — the repo is already in `/opt/moonarch` (via custom-commands)
2. Log in, then:
2. Choose disk and kernel interactively — everything else comes from the config.
3. Reboot, log in, then:
```bash
/opt/moonarch/scripts/post-install.sh
```
3. Reboot again — done
4. Reboot again — done.
## Structure
The archinstall config clones this repo to `/opt/moonarch` via custom-commands.
post-install.sh handles the remaining ~100 packages, all configs, themes, services,
and user setup.
```

scripts/ Post-install, update, theme installer
defaults/
bin/ moonarch-* helper scripts (/usr/local/bin/)
xdg/ XDG defaults (/etc/xdg/)

etc/ greetd + moongreet configuration
backgrounds/ Default wallpaper
```
## Update
### Update
```bash
moonarch-update
```
Updates repo, system packages, missing packages and defaults — all interactive with confirmations.
Interactive updater that syncs the repo, upgrades system/AUR packages, reconciles
package lists against what's installed, deploys changed XDG defaults, and cleans
orphaned packages.

## Customization
All system configs live in `/etc/xdg/` and can be overridden per-user in `~/.config/`:
| Component | System Default | User Override |
|-----------|---------------|---------------|
| Niri | `/etc/xdg/niri/config.kdl` | `~/.config/niri/config.kdl` |
| Waybar | `/etc/xdg/waybar/` | `~/.config/waybar/` |
| Rofi | `/etc/xdg/rofi/` | `~/.config/rofi/` |
| Foot | `/etc/xdg/foot/foot.ini` | `~/.config/foot/foot.ini` |
| Dunst | `/etc/xdg/dunst/dunstrc` | `~/.config/dunst/dunstrc` |
| kanshi | `/etc/xdg/kanshi/config` | `~/.config/kanshi/config` |
| PipeWire | `/etc/xdg/pipewire/` | `~/.config/pipewire/` |
| Zsh | `/etc/zsh/zshrc.moonarch` | `~/.zshrc` + `~/.zshrc.d/` |
Helper scripts in `/usr/local/bin/moonarch-*` are not meant to be overridden — they
are part of the system and updated via `moonarch-update`.
## System Services
| Service | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| greetd | Login greeter (runs moongreet inside Niri) |
| NetworkManager | Network management (WiFi, VPN, Ethernet) |
| bluetooth | Bluetooth stack (bluez) |
| docker | Container runtime |
| systemd-timesyncd | NTP time synchronization |
| ufw | Firewall (deny incoming, allow outgoing) |
| auto-cpufreq | CPU frequency scaling (AC: performance, battery: powersave) |
## Moonarch Ecosystem
Moonarch is the deployment and configuration layer. Three companion projects provide
the Wayland session UI — all built with Rust + gtk4-rs and sharing Catppuccin Mocha
theming:
| Project | Role | Installed via |
|---------|------|---------------|
| [moongreet](https://gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moongreet) | greetd greeter (GTK4 Layer Shell, fingerprint, i18n) | `paru -S moongreet-git` |
| [moonlock](https://gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moonlock) | Wayland lock screen (ext-session-lock-v1, PAM, fprintd) | `paru -S moonlock-git` |
| [moonset](https://gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moonset) | Power menu overlay (GTK4 Layer Shell) | `paru -S moonset-git` |
These are built from a [custom paru package repository](https://gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moonarch-pkgbuilds)
added during post-install.
