+# Github: https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs
+#
+# Purpose:
+#   Improves Grub by adding "btrfs snapshots" to the Grub menu.
+#   You can boot your system on a "snapshot" from the Grub menu.
+#   Supports manual snapshots, snapper, timeshift ...
+#   Warning : booting on read-only snapshots can be tricky.
+#   (Read about it, https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs#warning-booting-on-read-only-snapshots-can-be-tricky)
+#
+# What this script does:
+# - Automatically List snapshots existing on root partition (btrfs).
+# - Automatically Detect if "/boot" is in separate partition.
+# - Automatically Detect kernel, initramfs and intel/amd microcode in "/boot" directory on snapshots.
+# - Automatically Create corresponding "menuentry" in grub.cfg.
+# - Automatically detect the type/tags and descriptions/comments of snapper/timeshift snapshots.
+# - Automatically generate grub.cfg if you use the provided systemd service.
+#
+# Installation:
+# - Refer to https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs#installation-
+#
+# Customization:
+#  You have the possibility to modify many parameters in /etc/default/grub-btrfs/config.
+#
+# Automatically update Grub
+#  If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update when a snapshot is created or deleted:
+#  - Refer to https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs#automatically-update-grub.

+## grub-btrfs 

-This is a version 0.xx of grub-btrfs
+This is a version 4.xx of grub-btrfs
+##### BTC donation address: `1Lbvz244WA8xbpHek9W2Y12cakM6rDe5Rt`
+- - -
+### Description :
+Improves Grub by adding "btrfs snapshots" to the Grub menu.

-#### Description
+You can boot your system on a "snapshot" from the Grub menu.  
+Supports manual snapshots, snapper, timeshift ...

-grub-btrfs, add support for btrfs snapshots into grub menu
+##### Warning: booting on read-only snapshots can be tricky

-#### What does grub-btrfs v0.xx do :
+If you choose to do it, `/var/log` or even `/var` must be on a separate subvolume.  
+Otherwise, make sure your snapshots are writeable.  
+See [this ticket](https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs/issues/92) for more info.

-Simple rollback using snapshots you made previous.
+This project includes its own solution.  
+Refer to the [documentation](https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs/blob/master/initramfs/readme.md).

-Makes a list of all snapshots, kernels, initramfs present on the filesystem and then creates a corresponding entered with name and date of snapshots in grub.cfg, which ensures a very easy rollback.
+- - -
+### What does grub-btrfs v4.xx do :
+* Automatically List snapshots existing on root partition (btrfs).
+* Automatically Detect if "/boot" is in separate partition.
+* Automatically Detect kernel, initramfs and intel/amd microcode in "/boot" directory on snapshots.
+* Automatically Create corresponding "menuentry" in `grub.cfg`
+* Automatically detect the type/tags and descriptions/comments of snapper/timeshift snapshots.
+* Automatically generate `grub.cfg` if you use the provided systemd service.

-#### How to use it :
+- - -
+### Installation :
+#### Arch Linux
+The package is available in the community repository [grub-btrfs](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/grub-btrfs/)
+```
+pacman -S grub-btrfs
+```

-1. Add lines to /etc/default/grub as needed, defaults listed as examples:
-2. 
-	* submenuname = name menu appear in grub ( e.g: GRUB_BTRFS_SUBMENUNAME="ArchLinux Snapshots" )
+#### Gentoo
+grub-btrfs is only available in the Gentoo User Repository (GURU) and not in the official Gentoo repository.  
+If you have not activated the GURU yet, do so by running:
+```
+emerge -av app-eselect/eselect-repository 
+eselect repository enable guru 
+emerge --sync 
+```

-	* prefixentry = add a name ahead your snapshots entries ( e.g: GRUB_BTRFS_PREFIXENTRY="Snapshot" )
+Now merge grub-btrfs via 
+`emerge app-backup/grub-btrfs`

-	* nkernel= name kernel you use it ( e.g: GRUB_BTRFS_NKERNEL=("vmlinuz-linux") )
+#### Manual
+* Run `make install` or look into Makefile for instructions on where to put each file.
+* Run `make help` to check what options are available. 
+* Dependencies:
+  * [btrfs-progs](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/btrfs-progs/)
+  * [grub](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/grub/)
+  * [bash >4](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/bash/)
+  * [gawk ](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/gawk/)

-	* ninit= name initramfs (ramdisk) you use it ( e.g: GRUB_BTRFS_NINIT=("initramfs-linux.img" "initramfs-linux-fallback.img") )
+#### NOTE: All distros
+Generate your Grub menu after installation for the changes to take effect.  
+For example:  
+On **Arch Linux** or **Gentoo** use `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`.  
+On **Fedora** use `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg`  
+On **Debian-like** distribution `update-grub` is an alias to `grub-mkconfig ...`
+- - -
+### Customization :

-	* intel_ucode= name intel microcode you use it ( e.g: GRUB_BTRFS_INTEL_UCODE=("intel-ucode.img") )
+You have the possibility to modify many parameters in `/etc/default/grub-btrfs/config`.  
+See [config file](https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs/blob/master/config) for more information.

-2. Generate grub.cfg (on Archlinux is grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg )
+- - -
+### Automatically update grub :
+#### Systemd
+1. If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update when a snapshot is created or deleted:
+* Use `systemctl enable grub-btrfs.path`.
+  * `grub-btrfs.path` automatically (re)generates `grub-btrfs.cfg` when a modification appears in `/.snapshots` mount point (by default).
+  * If the `/.snapshots` mount point is already mounted, then use `systemctl start grub-btrfs.path` to start monitoring.  
+    Otherwise, the unit will automatically start monitoring when the mount point will be available.
+* If your snapshots location aren't mounted in `/.snapshots`, you must modify `grub-btrfs.path` unit using  
+`systemctl edit --full grub-btrfs.path` and run `systemctl reenable grub-btrfs.path` for changes take effect.  
+To find out the name of the `.mount` unit  
+use `systemctl list-units -t mount`.  
+	* For example: Timeshift mounts its snapshot folder in `/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots`.

-grub-btrfs automatically generates snapshots entries.
+		Use `systemctl edit --full grub-btrfs.path`.
+		Then replace the whole block by:
+		```
+		[Unit]
+		Description=Monitors for new snapshots
+		DefaultDependencies=no
+		Requires=run-timeshift-backup.mount
+		After=run-timeshift-backup.mount
+		BindsTo=run-timeshift-backup.mount

-You will see it appear different entries, e.g : Prefixentry name of snapshot [2013-02-11 04:00:00]
+		[Path]
+		PathModified=/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots

-#### Warning
+		[Install]
+		WantedBy=run-timeshift-backup.mount
+		```
+		Then save and finally run `systemctl reenable grub-btrfs.path` for changes take effect.  
+		Optional:  
+		If the `/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots` mount point is already mounted,  
+		then use `systemctl start grub-btrfs.path` to start monitoring.  
+		Otherwise, the unit will automatically start monitoring when the mount point will be available.  
+	* You can view your change to `systemctl cat grub-btrfs.path`.
+	* To revert change use `systemctl revert grub-btrfs.path`.

-Version 0.xx detect kernels,initramfs,intel microcode only in boot partition, not in snapshot.
-If kernels,initramfs,intel microcode, are present in boot partition but not in snapshot, entry will be created but not fonctional, you don't boot it.
+2. If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update on system restart/ shutdown:  
+[Look at this comment](https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs/issues/138#issuecomment-766918328)  
+Currently not implemented
+##
+#### OpenRC
+1. If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update when a snapshot is created or deleted:
+* Use `rc-config add grub-btrfsd default`, to start the grub-btrfsd daemon the next time the system boots. 
+	* To start `grub-btrfsd` right now, run `rc-service grub-btrfsd start`
+	* `grub-btrfsd` automatically watches the snapshot directory of timeshift (/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots)
+	and updates the grub-menu when a change occurs.
+* Currently untested for snapper

-Version 1.xx will do it, release soon.
+2. If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update on system restart/ shutdown:
+Just add the following script as `/etc/local.d/grub-btrfs-update.stop`
+	```
+	#!/bin/bash
+	
+	description="Update the grub btrfs snapshots menu"
+	name="grub-btrfs-update"
+	
+	depend()
+	{
+	  use localmount
+	}
+	
+	bash -c 'if [ -s "${GRUB_BTRFS_GRUB_DIRNAME:-/boot/grub}/grub-btrfs.cfg" ]; then /etc/grub.d/41_snapshots-btrfs; else {GRUB_BTRFS_MKCONFIG:-grub-mkconfig} -o {GRUB_BTRFS_GRUB_DIRNAME:-/boot/grub}/grub.cfg; fi' 
+	```
+	
+	Make your script executeable with `chmod a+x /etc/local.d/grub-btrfs-update.stop`.
+
+* The extension ".stop" at the end of the filename indicates to locald that this script should be run at shutdown. 
+ If you want to run the menu update on startup instead, rename the file to `grub-btrfs-update.start`
+* Works for snapper and timeshift
+
+##### Warning :
+by default, `grub-mkconfig` command is used.  
+Might be `grub2-mkconfig` on some systems (Fedora ...).   
+Edit `GRUB_BTRFS_MKCONFIG` variable in `/etc/default/grub-btrfs/config` file to reflect this.

+### Description :
+
+Booting on a snapshot in read-only mode can be tricky.  
+An elegant way is to boot this snapshot using overlayfs (included in the kernel ≥ 3.18).
+
+Using overlayfs, the booted snapshot will behave like a live-cd in non-persistent mode.  
+The snapshot will not be modified, the system will be able to boot correctly, because a writeable folder will be included in the ram.  
+(no more problems due to `/var` not open for writing)
+
+Any changes in this system thus started will be lost when the system is rebooted/shutdown.
+
+To do this, it is necessary to modify the initramfs.  
+This means that any snapshot that does not include this modified initramfs will not be able to benefit from it.  
+(except for separate boot partitions)
+#
+### Installation :
+#### Arch Linux
+1.
+`Pacman -S grub-btrfs`  
+Or if you use git  
+copy the `overlay_snap_ro-install` file to `/etc/initcpio/install/grub-btrfs-overlayfs`  
+copy the `overlay_snap_ro-hook` file to `/etc/initcpio/hooks/grub-btrfs-overlayfs`  
+You must rename the files. (I did it above)
+
+For example :  
+`overlay_snap_ro-install` to `grub-btrfs-overlayfs`  
+`overlay_snap_ro-hook` to `grub-btrfs-overlayfs`  
+Keep in mind that the files must have exactly the same name to ensure a match.
+
+2.
+Edit the file `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`  
+Added hook `grub-btrfs-overlayfs` at the end of the line `HOOKS`.
+
+For example :  
+`HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck grub-btrfs-overlayfs)`  
+You notice that the name of the `hook` must match the name of the 2 installed files. (don't forget it)
+
+3.
+Re-generate your initramfs  
+`mkinitcpio -P` (option -P means, all preset present in `/etc/mkinitcpio.d`)
+
+#### Other distribution
+Refer to your distribution's documentation  
+or contribute to this project to add a paragraph.
