What

Basic shell script to bootstrap a functionnal Arch Linux chroot to be used from other Linux distributions.

Why

When you have servers hosted by a provider, you might be limited on what you can boot on for recovery purpose. This is my case with Online servers.

This script has been made to get a minimal working Arch Linux chroot on their Ubuntu 16.04 recovery image booted from PXE. This allows me to make sure I get the tools I need, including specific stuff like pacstrap (even if, yes, it could be installed while on Ubuntu without this chroot) to install new systems.

How to

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Horgix/arch_chroot_bootstrap/master/arch_chroot.sh -O arch_chroot.sh && chmod +x arch_chroot.sh && ./arch_chroot.sh
