⁠About this Image

⁠Initial motivation for this image

A few years ago, the situation for the Arch Linux⁠ official base image⁠ was quite bad; updates did come very sparse and whoever pulled the Arch Linux⁠ Docker image had to apply months of past sysupdates prior to make productive use of it.

This image adds the following improvements to this:

1. Mirrorlist is updated using reflector⁠.
2. It's an automated build, triggered daily to make sure latest updates are always available without any manual interaction needed. Also it is triggered by updates to the official base image⁠ and updates in the GitRepo.
3. A full system update is installed during these (at least) daily builds. Orphaned packages are removed (as described in System maintenance wiki site⁠, regarding Remove orphaned packages⁠).
4. Pacman database is optimized.
5. GPG keys are refreshed.
