Docker images for Arch Linux. Built daily by Travis CI on publicly visible infrastructure.
The images are on Docker Hub. Use the convenient docker run:
docker run --rm -ti archimg/base
docker run --rm -ti archimg/base-devel
| Repo | Tag | Update | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| base | latest | daily | minimal | most packages of base-group, except some big ones like linux-firmware |
| base | full | daily | full | all packages of base-group |
| base‑devel | latest | daily | full | all packages of base and base-devel-group |
The monthly tagged images aren't supposed to be used in production. Arch Linux is a rolling release distro and partial upgrades are unsupported there. It requires you to always do a full system upgrade, so it wouldn't make any difference to use the latest tag.
The image consists of two parts:
- the basement layer, derived from the tarball (updated monthly)
- this layer has always its own tag in form of
YEAR.MONTH.01 - it's discouraged to use this as your base image
- this layer has always its own tag in form of
- the update layer, which only contains the updates (updated daily)
- this layer has always its own tag as latest
This implies, that you get daily updates, but only have to download the actual change and not the full image.

Simply add the TZ environment-variable and define it with a valid timezone-value.
docker run -e TZ=Europe/Berlin archimg/base

- sudo or root is absolutely neccessary to build the image from scratch
- if you use
./pullinstead of./build, sudo is not required
- if you use
- Run either
sudo -H ./buildor./pull- If you run
sudo -H ./build, it'll download the tarball and build the images from scratch (sudo required) - If you run
./pull, docker will download the images from dockerhub
- If you run
- Run
./updateto generate thelatest-tags and update the images.
If you want to push the images, run ./push. But be aware you have no push access to the repos!
