PacmanStrap
- Not the same tool provided by Arch to create base of arch.
- A simple tool to create a minimal rootfs with working pacman
- Does nothing more then necessary
- No root privileges are required to exec the script
Mirror: GitHub
HOW TO USE ?
On Linux distribution
DEPENDENCIES : sh curl gawk tar gzip xz zstd
in this example we are creating rootfs inside directory
curl -O https://codeberg.org/zz/PacmanStrap/raw/branch/master/pacstrap.sh
sh pacstrap.sh directory
to login, run
chroot directory
to setup usable root filesystem, run
update-ca-trust
pacman -Syu --noconfirm --overwrite '*' pacman
On Termux
pkg upgrade -y
pkg install -y proot qemu-user-x86-64 curl gawk tar gzip xz-utils zstd
curl -O https://codeberg.org/zz/PacmanStrap/raw/branch/master/pacstrap.sh
proot --link2symlink sh pacstrap.sh directory
save this command to a file [in this example proot.sh]
Refer to this manual, to know what each of the following option does.
echo '
#!/bin/sh
unset LD_PRELOAD
proot \
--kill-on-exit \
-q qemu-x86_64 \
-S $1 \
--link2symlink \
/bin/bash -c " \
export \
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin \
HOME=/root
/bin/bash"
' > proot.sh
to log in, run
sh proot.sh ./directory
to setup usable root filesystem, run
update-ca-trust
pacman -Syu --noconfirm --overwrite '*' pacman
above command should be executed only once
Don't forget to enable signature verification
inside /etc/pacman.conf by setting
SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
Bootstraping distributions
By default this creates rootfs for Artix
For other Arch based distro, simple pass the repo url as 2nd arguement
# To install Arch for example:
sh pacstrap.sh directory https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/archlinux/core/os/x86_64
Here's another project which utilizes this tool.
