+# Automatic Login On TTY1
+
+Create a new autologin service:
+
+> cp -R /etc/sv/agetty-tty1 /etc/sv/agetty-autologin-tty1
+
+Note: The name of the custom service file must end with -tty1 (or another valid port). Otherwise the run-script will not work.
+
+> vim /etc/sv/agetty-autologin-tty1/conf:
+
+```
+
+ GETTY_ARGS="--autologin yourusernamehere --noclear"
+ BAUD_RATE=38400
+ TERM_NAME=linux
+
+```
+
+If you are logged in on tty1 right now, logout, switch to tty2 (with CTRL+ALT+F2) and re-login there.
+
+Disable the regular tty1 service and enable autologin:
+
+> rm /var/service/agetty-tty1
+
+> ln -s /etc/sv/agetty-autologin-tty1 /var/service
+
+Now switch to tty1 and you should already be logged in there automatically.
+
+Autostart Graphical Environment on Login
+
+Add the following to your shell's profile file to start X and lock the tty session:
+
+# Autologin on tty1
+
+In `bashrc`.
+
+```
+
+ if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ "$(fgconsole)" -eq 1 ]; then
+ exec startx
+ fi
+
+```
