Arch Linux inside OSTree
by Michael Zimmermann 06 Jan '24

06 Jan '24

Hi, I've put some work into making it easy to install Arch Linux inside OSTree. I have started creating a guide at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Install_Arch_Linux_inside_OSTree with the intention of that being just another installation method like LUKS or LVM. Unfortunately, the page was moved to my personal space with the reason: "personal install guide for the author's os-tree wrapper, does not belong in the official namespace". This sounds like the Arch Linux project doesn't want to support this installation method. Is that correct? If yes, why? Thanks Michael

Migration from LXD to Incus
by Bernd Rinn 06 Jan '24

Hi, I'm using LXD on Archlinux and want to migrate to Incus (https://linuxcontainers.org/incus). According to the Incus docs this is as simple as installing Incus alongside LXD and then calling the migration program lxd-to-incus, see https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/howto/server_migrate_lxd. However, when executing 'pacman -S incus', I get the message 'incus and lxd are in conflict. Remove lxd?'. So it looks like the migration program lxd-to-incus will not work under Archlinux because one cannot install both packages in parallel. What the proper way of migrating from LXD to Incus under Archlinux? All the best, Bernd

milkv-duo duo-buildroot-sdk builds FINE of Arch! genext2fs is only AUR pkg required
by David C. Rankin 05 Jan '24

Arch is Good! For those considering tinkering with the milkV-duo boards, the documentation says it can only be built on Ubuntu and only on version 22.04 to avoid build issues. Nonsense, Archlinux is just fine. For those interested, the only AUR package needed is genext2fs. Other than that the normal Arch build tools are all that is needed. If you built for 2+ hours and then had packaging crash, don't worry, just build and install genext2fs, open the build.sh file, comment the 'get_toolchain' and 'milkv_build' lines and run it again - it will complete without issue (essentially makepkg -R). Experience is a good teacher. <snip couple of hours of build output> ... INFO: hdimage(milkv-duo.img): adding partition 'rootfs' (in MBR) from 'rootfs.ext4' ...
