Hardened Gentoo on ZFS:

Tired of go on a lot of link each time, i decided of all regroup in a massive tutorial.
This howto is a mix between the gentoo handbook, sasaki handbook and many tips found on the web.
We going to look how to set up:

  • ZFS
  • Systemd
  • systemd-boot
  • CPU flags
  • The kernel source
  • Full disk encryption
  • Secure Boot (generate key with cryptboot)
  • Protect your privacy ( paranoid-ninja, tor and ssh )
  • SELinux (Not Yet Ready)

System Requirements

  • Cpu comptatible x86-64.
  • 8G disk storage available
  • 2G memory minimum

Optional:

  • MicroSD or USB key for create an external boot partition. ( Be proud with MicroSD as boot partition, some BIOS/UEFI cannot boot on )
  • ECC Memory.
  • SSD - Generally use as cache drive and log device, respectively called L2ARC and ZIL).

Build the ISO

Take a look on another repo Archaeidae to build a custom Archiso including ZFS support.
