# Arch Linux built with Packer
Creates a minimal arch linux raw disk image that can be cloned directly to bare metal
## Requirements
1. [Packer](https://www.packer.io/)
1. 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
