• No bloat, only most common tools are added
• Initialize pacman keyrings at build stage, making pacman -Syu work out of the box
• Additional package repos:
  • archlinuxcn
  • blackarch
  • btwiuse (for personal use)
  • aur (manually install yay or yaourt first)

$ docker run -it btwiuse/arch
$ pacman -Syu yay

Example Dockerfile

FROM btwiuse/arch

RUN pacman -Syu --noconfirm neofetch

$ kubectl run -it arch --image=btwiuse/arch
If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
[root@arch /]# pacman -Syu neofetch
