failing to preform offline installation
Greetings, I have a server that serves as router via vm, I'm attempting to install arch offline. here is what I did, I've created a json config to load using archinstall to preform the actual install. after selecting all the pkgs needed, I've extracted them from the json file and ran this: pacman -Syw --cachedir /mnt/repos/cache --dbpath /mnt/repos/db ..... now I have all the pkgs I need, next I've entered /mnt/repos/cache and ran this: repo-add ./custom.db.tar.zst ./*[^sig] according to the docs, I have local repo if I understand correctly. next I've booted the system in question and updated /etc/pacman.conf and added this: [custom] SigLevel = PackageRequired Server = file:///mnt/repos/cache I ran archinstall, got this: Fetching Arch Linux package database... Failed to sync Arch Linux package database. Most likely due to a missing network connection or DNS issue. Run archinstall --debug and check /var/log/archinstall/install.log for details. how can I instruct archinstall to use my local repo? Thanks.
