Hey everyone. I’m thinking of maintaining an iso for my setup once I have that the way I like it. I wouldn’t publish it so it would just be for me.

How easy would that be to do? Would it just be a case of rebuilding the iso every week/month to get the updated packages in it, or is there more to it?

Thanks!

      I use chezmoi to backup my configs, and ive thought about writing a post-install script, but its not difficult to maintain ine for myself then i would like to have an iso which will setup everything automatically. Im just unsure if its easier than maintaining one for public use

        Well I haven’t really used it myself yet but you could add aconfmgr to your setup.

      I second this. Until I have a solid use case for archiso, I strongly prefer tracking my dotfiles + installed packages and manually provisioning a fresh install.

    It’s super easy with archiso, you can just drop in whatever files you want or even just add packages to the packages list, run mkarchiso and voilà, you’ve got an ISO.
