Legacy repo, moved to docker-archlinux
Unofficial, automated Docker images for Arch Linux ARM on AArch32 (ARMv7-A) and AArch64 (ARMv8-A). Built using native pacman and Docker multi-stage builds. Builds daily by GitHub Actions on publicly visible infrastructure using QEMU emulation.
docker run --rm -ti ghcr.io/fwcd/archlinuxarm-docker| Tag | Update | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| latest | daily | minimal | minimal Arch Linux ARM with pacman support |
The image is generated from a freshly built pacman rootfs. Pacman has configured to delete man pages and clean the package cache after installation to keep images small.

Since the image depends on itself, the question which arise is how this all started. The initial containers have been created using the tarballs provided by the Arch Linux ARM project. I used the following steps to bootstrap for each architecture:
sudo tar xvzf ArchLinuxARM-armv7-latest.tar.gz -C tmp-arch
sudo tar cf ArchLinuxARM-armv7-latest.tar -C tmp-arch/ .
docker import ArchLinuxARM-armv7-latest.tar agners/armv7-archlinux:latest
Ideas have been taken from already existing Docker files for Arch Linux. However, this repository takes a slightly different approach to create images.

- The upstream project

- GitHub Actions fork

- Focus on Arch Linux for x86
- Uses docker run in priviledged mode to build images

- Uses prebuilt tarballs which contain packages not required in containers
