Crystal Arch Linux Base

My fork to build a vanila minimalistic Arch Linux vagrant box. It is based on newly available official box at archlinux/arch-boxes. Detailed instructions can be found there.

Main differences

  • Only virtualbox-iso build. All qmeu/kvm builder files are untouched.
  • No Polkit.
  • Change the root filesystem from btrfs to xfs.
  • Mirrorlist are fixed instead of rankmirrors, which takes unnecessarily long time.
  • ISO are downloaded separately (a result of poor network), and iso_url refers to local file.

Building

  1. Change mirror server in install.sh.
  2. Download the ISO and placed in the ./packer_cache
  3. Follow steps of original building steps.
  4. Only build virtualbox box: packer build --only=virtualbox-iso vagrant.json
