Custom Arch Linux ISO

This repository contains my custom "archiso" configuration. Archiso project features scripts and configuration templates to build installation media (.iso images and .tar.gz bootstrap images) as well as netboot artifacts for BIOS and UEFI based systems on the x86_64 architecture. Currently creating the images is only supported on Arch Linux but may work on other operating systems as well.

Requirements

NOTE: Before getting started know more about archiso.

The following packages need to be installed to be able to create an image with the included scripts:

  • archiso
  • arch-install-scripts
  • awk
  • dosfstools
  • e2fsprogs
  • erofs-utils (optional)
  • findutils
  • grub
  • gzip
  • libarchive
  • libisoburn
  • mtools
  • openssl
  • pacman
  • sed
  • squashfs-tools

NOTE: archiso has all the packages that are mentioned above.

For running the images in a virtualized test environment the following packages are required:

  • edk2-ovmf
  • qemu

For linting the shell scripts the following package is required:

  • shellcheck

Profiles

Archiso comes with two profiles: baseline and releng. While I choose to use releng but both can serve as starting points for creating custom live media, releng is used to create the monthly installation medium.

Overview

The ISO includes:

  • Base Arch packages
  • XFCE4 and AwesomeWM
  • NetworkManager for WiFi
  • Calamares installer
  • Extra utilities like neofetch, vim, git
  • Custom configured

Building the ISO

To build the ISO:

Simply run this script.

chmod +x build-iso.sh && ./build-iso.sh

The generated ISO will be under ./out

Installation

Boot the ISO and launch the Calamares installer to install to a drive.

Packages

Base packages, XFCE && AwesomeWM, and extra utilities are included.

See ./profile/*/packages.x86_64 for the full list.

Configuration

Custom configs:

  • ./profile/*/airootfs/ - system configuration and scripts
  • ./profile/*/packages.x86_64 - modified packages
  • ./profile/*/pacman.conf - additional repos

Contributing

Feel free to open PRs or issues to improve the ISO!
