Docker Base Image for Arch Linux

This repository contains all scripts and files needed to create a Docker base image for Arch Linux.

Dependencies

Install the following Arch Linux packages:

• make
• devtools
• docker
• fakechroot
• fakeroot

Make sure your user can directly interact with Docker (ie. docker info works).

Usage

Run make docker-image-base to build the image archlinux:base with the base group installed. You can also run make docker-image-base-devel to build the image archlinux:base-devel with the base-devel group installed.

Purpose

• Provide the Arch experience in a Docker image
• Provide the most simple but complete image to base every other upon
• pacman needs to work out of the box
• All installed packages have to be kept unmodified
