|
|
A technical successor to Antergos — built on **Artix Linux** with **Dinit**, **KDE Plasma** desktop, the **Calamares** installer (online mode), and a BYODE script for offline installs. It's its own thing with its own branding — not a replacement for the Antergos feeling, but a continuation of its lineage.
|
|
|
|
## What changed
|
|
|
|
| Before | After |
|
|
|--------|-------|
|
|
| Arch Linux (systemd) | Artix Linux (Dinit) |
|
|
| GNOME desktop | KDE Plasma desktop |
|
|
| archiso build system | artools (`buildiso`) |
|
|
| Custom Cnchi installer | Calamares (mature, upstream-supported) |
|
|
| Symlinked overlays | Resolved, self-contained profile overlays |
|
|
|
|
## Why Artix?
|
|
|
|
The Euri Linux project prefers init system flexibility over systemd lock-in. Artix Linux provides a clean Arch-like experience with your choice of **Dinit** (default), Runit, or S6 — see `changing-init.md` if you want something else.
|
|
|
|
> **Why Dinit?** We shipped OpenRC. Then Calamares kidnapped pacman's resolver and every `--noconfirm` call picked `elogind-dinit` (alphabetically before `elogind-openrc`). Dinit works great and OpenRC's service enabling was broken on installed systems anyway. Dinit wins by alphabetical destiny.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
### Option A: Build in a container (non-pacman distros — recommended)
|
|
|
|
No Artix/Arch needed. Works on Gentoo, Fedora, Debian — anything **without
|
|
pacman** that has podman. This is the same path GitHub Actions CI uses.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build the image (installs artools + deps inside an Artix container)
|
|
podman build -t euri-build .
|
|
|
|
# Build the ISO (rootful podman required — artools chroots mount devtmpfs,
|
|
# which rootless containers cannot do)
|
|
sudo podman run --rm --privileged \
|
|
-v /var/lib/artools-buildiso:/var/lib/artools/buildiso \
|
|
-v "$(pwd)/iso-output:/workspace/iso-output" \
|
|
-e WORKSPACE_DIR=/workspace \
|
|
euri-build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use the helper script:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build-iso-podman.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The finished `.iso` lands in `iso-output/`.
|
|
|
|
### Option B: Native build (just pacman + artools)
|
|
|
|
You do **not** need an Artix-based system — `buildiso` is plain bash on top of
|
|
`pacman`. You need:
|
|
|
|
- `pacman` (native on Arch/Artix/**KaOS**; on other distros, install it or
|
|
extract the `.pkg.tar.zst` files)
|
|
- the artools libraries from the Artix repo: `artools-base` (provides
|
|
`basestrap`, `artix-chroot`, `fstabgen`) and `artools-iso` (provides
|
|
`buildiso`) plus their deps
|
|
- `squashfs-tools`, `grub`, `xorriso`/`libisoburn`, `dosfstools`, `mtools`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# On Arch/Artix:
|
|
pacman -S artools squashfs-tools
|
|
modprobe loop
|
|
|
|
# On KaOS (pacman native, but artools not in KaOS repos — extract from Artix):
|
|
pacman -S squashfs-tools
|
|
# grab artools-base/artools-iso from the Artix repo and extract over /
|
|
|
|
# On other distros: grab the packages from the Artix repo and extract
|
|
# them over / (e.g. into /usr/share/artools and /usr/bin), then install
|
|
# pacman and the deps listed above.
|
|
|
|
# Clone and enter
|
|
git clone https://antergos-nas.taild4360b.ts.net/Euri-Linux/euri-iso.git
|
|
cd euri-iso
|
|
|
|
# Set workspace to repo root
|
|
export WORKSPACE_DIR="$PWD"
|
|
|
|
# Must use our pacman.conf (has euri-pkgs repo)
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config/artools/pacman.conf.d
|
|
cp pacman.conf.d/iso-x86_64.conf ~/.config/artools/pacman.conf.d/
|
|
|
|
# Build
|
|
sudo ./buildiso -p euri
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT**: Use `./buildiso`, not `buildiso`. The Artix system `buildiso` at `/usr/bin/buildiso` lacks the `--overwrite='*'` flag passed to `basestrap`, causing file conflicts (e.g. `calamares` vs `calamares-branding-euri` both claiming `/usr/share/calamares/branding/default/`). Our repo's `./buildiso` has it.
|
|
|
|
The `.iso` appears in `/var/lib/artools/buildiso/iso/euri/`.
|
|
|
|
First build pulls ~5 GB from the internet. Subsequent builds use pacman cache.
|
|
|
|
> **Which option do I use?**
|
|
>
|
|
> - **Arch / Artix / KaOS / any pacman-based distro** → Option B (native).
|
|
> - **Anything else** (Gentoo, Fedora, Debian, ...) → Option A (podman).
|
|
|
|
### Custom packages
|
|
|
|
The ISO pulls custom packages (branding, Calamares config, wallpapers) from our repo. Add it to your system:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[euri-pkgs]
|
|
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
|
|
Server = https://antergos-nas.taild4360b.ts.net/pkgs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Profile structure
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
iso-profiles/
|
|
├── euri/
|
|
│ ├── profile.yaml # Packages, services, build config
|
|
│ ├── root-overlay/ # Files merged into rootfs (os-release, pacman.conf, sddm)
|
|
│ └── live-overlay/ # Files for the live environment (Calamares configs, etc.)
|
|
├── common/
|
|
│ └── common.yaml # Shared base packages
|
|
├── pacman.conf.d/
|
|
│ └── iso-x86_64.conf # Pacman config used during ISO build
|
|
└── buildiso # Modified buildiso with Euri branding
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Overlays are self-contained (no symlinks to external directories) so the repo builds standalone.
|
|
|
|
## Installer
|
|
|
|
| Mode | Description |
|
|
|------|-------------|
|
|
| **Online** | Full Calamares netinstall with desktop selection (KDE Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, i3, Sway, Hyprland) |
|
|
| **BYODE** | Bare system + btrfs + snapper — you `pacman -Sy` your own DE. Script available on the live desktop. |
