# Archbox Installs Arch Linux inside a chroot enviroment. ## Why? Ever since I'm running some niche distros like Void, Solus, I had a problem finding what softwares I need in their not-so-large repositories, also I don't like how flatpak and snap works. so i decided to create an Arch Linux chroot enviroment everytime I distrohop. Why Arch Linux? They have a really, really good repositories, oh and don't mention how big AUR is. ## Installation ### Installing Archbox It's pretty easy, just run ```install.sh``` as root. ### Installing chroot enviroment Before creating chroot enviroment, edit your username in ```/etc/archbox.conf```, then do ```sudo archbox --create ```. ### Entering chroot enviroment To enter chroot, do ```archbox --enter```. ### Executing commands in chroot enviroment To execute commands inside chroot envirotment, do ```archbox ```. for example, to update chroot, do ```archbox sudo pacman -Syu```. ### Automount filesystem If you use runit, copy archbox folder inside ```runit/``` and symlink it to whatever your distro store running runit services, if you don't use runit, you may need to create your own init script, or create a cronjob that runs on boot. ### Optional steps You may want to add this, if you don't want to run archbox chroot without password: #### Sudo ```%wheel ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/share/archbox/bin/archboxenter,/usr/local/share/archbox/bin/copyresolv,/usr/local/share/archbox/bin/archboxcommand``` #### Doas ```Idk you're on your own``` ### Misc #### Lauching apps via rofi Instead of opening terminal everytime you want to run application inside chroot, you may want to launch rofi inside chroot, install rofi and do ```archbox rofi ```. #### Pulseaudio If the audio doesn't work, comment ```mount -R /var/lib/dbus $CHROOT/var/lib/dbus``` in init script and start pulseaudio inside chroot instead, do ```archbox pulseaudio```.
