July 3, 20242 yr First off, I would like to give the crew at Armbian a huge heartfelt thanks for all the awesome work you do under sometimes trying conditions. I would like to present Archian, the bastard child of Armbian & Arch. Why … well, the project I am working on needed current versions of phosh & plasma-mobile and the versions on jammy/bookworm were quite old. The OPi supplied image was quite flaky so I had to find a way to mash these together. And this is the result. It does need to be run as root ! The script has 3 arguments: init - downloads the armbian image file, arch rootfs and arch packages. You need to then write the image to an SD-CARD install - this installs arch over the armbian image on the SD-Card finish - run this option on a booted image as root It has limited/no error checking so run this at your own risk. A wise/cautious person would run the install commands manually as it could really mess up your host system if it goes badly. It could be easily modified to work with different boards but OPi Zero 2W is what I have. Don't forget to edit the script before running it so that ‘things’ point to where you want them. The root password is root. You will need an external screen & keyboard to use it as networking wont work until it is fully installed. Have a play and let me know any issues. archian.sh

Have you though about making an extension, so all this is done at builds time and build system throws out optimised Arch image? Docs: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Extensions-Hooks/ Examples: https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/extensions/kali.sh Just an idea
November 17, 20241 yr I had something similar in mind. Trying to put together a Opie Blackarch image but everything documentation wise is falling short. How’s it been working?
