Lightweight Arch Linux base container — install what you need.
A minimal, fully updated Arch Linux environment with curl, wget, git, genfstab, pfetch and pacman ready to go. No bloat — add only the tools you actually need.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
curl / wget | HTTP downloads |
git | Version control |
genfstab | Generate fstab entries (from arch-install-scripts) |
pfetch | Lightweight system info display |
nano / vim | Basic text editors |
bash-completion | Tab completion |
man-db | Manual pages |
pacman-contrib | Extra pacman utilities (paccache, checkupdates, etc.) |
sudo | Privilege escalation |
System is fully updated at build time (pacman -Syu).
docker run --rm -it \
-v "$PWD:/workspace" \
theinfobots/arch-base:latest
Inside the container, use pacman as normal:
# Search for a package
pacman -Ss <name>
# Install a package
pacman -S <name>
# Update the system
pacman -Syu
# Remove a package
pacman -Rns <name>
pacman -S python python-pip go nodejs npm neovim tmux
pacman -S nmap tcpdump wireshark-cli radare2 yara
# Generate fstab for a mounted root at /mnt
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
# Use labels instead of UUIDs
genfstab -L /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
Runs automatically on shell start. To run manually:
pfetch
git clone https://github.com/theinfobots/arch-base
cd arch-base
docker build --pull -t theinfobots/arch-base:latest .
