Arch-boxes provides several different VM images.

The images is built daily and released biweekly (via GitLab CI schedule) and synced to the mirrors.

Vagrant images for the VirtualBox and Libvirt provider are released to Vagrant Cloud.

At the time of writing we offer two different QCOW2 images. The images are synced to the mirrors under the images directory, ex: https://mirror.pkgbuild.com/images/.

The basic image is meant for local usage and comes preconfigured with the user arch (pw: arch) and sshd running.

The cloud image is meant to be used in "the cloud" and comes with cloud-init preinstalled. For tested cloud providers and instructions please see the ArchWiki's Arch Linux on a VPS page.

You'll need the following dependencies:

• qemu
• libisoburn

The official builds are done in our Arch Linux GitLab CI and can be built locally by running:

./build-host.sh
