Archinstall

The goal of archinstall is to easily and reproducibly create a minimal arch install.

Ansible is then used to do the heavy lifting.

The ./patch-disk-config.sh scripts goal is to help <ith disk setup. More information inside it.

VM -> Host file transfer (QEMU user networking)

When using QEMU user-mode networking (10.0.2.0/24), the host cannot reach the VM directly. To transfer files from the VM to the host, use nc.

On the host (receive):

nc -l -p 8001 > archinstall.json

On the VM (send):

nc 10.0.2.2 8001 < /root/archinstall.json

10.0.2.2 is the host address in QEMU user networking.
