[arch-general] vps2arch - The fastest way to convert a VPS to Arch Linux!
Hi, I wrote a simple script that allows you to convert (almost) any VPS to Arch Linux. The procedure is very simple, as you an see on a video posted by jx47 (http://jx47.de/posts/20150627_vps2arch.html). Just do: # wget git.io/vps2arch # chmod +x # ./vps2arch With the latest version of the script you can also specify mirrors with the -m option, network system (systemd-networkd, netctl) with -n option and the bootloader to be installed (grub, syslinux). OpenVZ is partially supported, because it doesn't work on systemd 220+ and it will enforce systemd 219. It also enforce netctl as networking system and no bootloader (of course). Please test and report! https://github.com/drizzt/vps2arch -- Timothy M. Redaelli Arch Linux Trusted User

interesting tool. I have added a simple entry about it to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_from_existing_Linux#Automated now. Best, Sebastian
That seems like a fantastic tool, have you tested it on Digital Ocean? Also, if so, what distro did you start with? Thanks, Luna On 7/2/2015 12:12 PM, Timothy M. Redaelli wrote:
