# Autorun on Arch Live CD (Unattended install)
|
||||
# [Build a Arch Linux ISO to autorun archinstall](https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall/wiki/Autorun-on-Arch-Live-CD)
|
||||
|
||||
This guides you on how to create a ISO that has Python and can run the arch installed in **unattended mode.**<br>
|
||||
We'll need to reconfigure the **releng** profile after it's been copied, to include Python etc.<br>
|
||||
To do so, we need to add some packages to `packages.x86_64` and add some commands to `customize_airootfs.sh`.
|
||||
More options for the built ISO:
|
||||
|
||||
# cd ~/archlive
|
||||
# echo -e "git\npython\npython-psutil" >> packages.x86_64
|
||||
# cat <<EOF >> ./airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh
|
||||
cd /root
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall.git
|
||||
chmod +x ~/archinstall/archinstall.py
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
# mkdir ./airootfs/etc/skel
|
||||
# echo '[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && sh -c "~/archinstall/archinstall.py --default"' >> ./airootfs/etc/skel/.zprofile
|
||||
### [Unattended install of a profile](https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall/wiki/Unattended-install-of-a-profile)
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: `~/archlive` might be different on your system, see [ArchISO#Setup](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/archiso#Setup) for more info.
|
||||
### [User guided install (DEFAULT)](https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall/wiki/User-guided-installation-(DEFAULT))
|
||||
|
||||
After all those commands are done, you can go ahead and run:
|
||||
### [Custom web-server for deployment profiles](https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall/wiki/Custom-web-server-for-deployment-profiles)
|
||||
|
||||
# rm -v work*; ./build.sh -v
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever this live-cd boots, from here on now - it'll run `archinstall.py` and attempt to unattendely install a default Arch Linux base OS with `base base-devel` as packages.
|
||||
Or - if successfull - a MAC-address matches a profile at [/deployments](https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall/tree/master/deployments) for the machine to be installed.
|
||||
|
||||
> **CAUTION**: If no parameters are given, **it will devour the first disk in your system** (Usually `/dev/sda`, `/dev/nvme0n1` etc).
|
||||
|
||||
## Unattended profile install
|
||||
|
||||
Everything in the steps above are the same, except for one line that needs to change to look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
# echo '[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && sh -c "~/archinstall/archinstall.py --profile=workstation"' >> ./airootfs/etc/skel/.zprofile
|
||||
|
||||
This will unattendely install the [workstation](https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall/blob/master/deployments/workstation.json) profile.
|
||||
|
||||
## User guided installation (DEFAULT)
|
||||
|
||||
Change the autostart line to match:
|
||||
|
||||
# echo '[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && sh -c "~/archinstall/archinstall.py"' >> ./airootfs/etc/skel/.zprofile
|
||||
|
||||
This will cause the script to halt and ask for a profile to install before proceeding.
|
||||
When asked, enter `workstation` for instance - to install based on the [workstation](https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall/blob/master/deployments/workstation.json) template.
|
||||
|
||||
> **CAUTION**: If a MAC-address matches under `/deployments`, that profile will forcefully be installed and have presidence over any other profile information.
|
||||
|
||||
## With custom webserver for deployment profiles
|
||||
|
||||
Again, one line differs from the other install methods, change the following line:
|
||||
|
||||
# echo '[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && sh -c "~/archinstall/archinstall.py --profiles-path=http://example.com/profiles"' >> ./airootfs/etc/skel/.zprofile
|
||||
|
||||
This will cause the script to look at `http://example.com/profiles/<profile>.json` for instructions.

||||

||||
# Rerunning a installation
|
||||
|
||||
# umount -R /mnt; cryptsetup close /dev/mapper/luksdev
|
||||
# python3 ./archinstall/archinstall.py
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: This assumes `--post=stay` is set to avoid instant reboot at the end or if during any time a user pressed `Ctrl-C` and aborted the installation.

Enables you to skip the format, encryption and base install steps.

Deployment profile structs support all the above parameters and more, for instance, custom arguments with string formatting.
