Archbyte

Podman/Docker virtualization setup for caching Pacman packages in cold storage

Operation

Specifying what packages to autobuild

You define a packages.txt file with different packages that are of use.

base
base-devel
xfce4
xfce4-goodies

Defining these would auto-build base-devel, xfce4 and a few other packages.

Building

Podman compose building packages seems broken, so do it by hand. In this case, we will bind to an archbyte store in /opt/raid/archbyte.

$ podman build -v /opt/raid/archbyte:/srv/archbyte -t archbyte:latest .

Running

$ podman run -it -v /opt/raid/archbyte:/srv/archbyte -p 8080:8080 archbyte:latest

Should be on port 8080.
