Arch Linux built with Packer

Creates a minimal arch linux raw disk image that can be cloned directly to bare metal

Requirements

  1. Packer
  2. QEMU and KVM installed

Usage

packer build arch.pkr.hcl

On my machine, it takes about 5 minutes to build (without downloading the arch iso)

Take the resulting output/arch.img, and clone it to a disk.
For example: sudo dd if=output/arch.img of=/dev/<disk to image> bs=512M status=progress

Congratulations, you now have arch linux installed on that hard drive, and can boot from it
