Maintainers Guide

Note that this document is intended for the owners of this repository who are maintaining the common images (in the arch family), and the gce Pacman repo. If you're just looking to build your own image, follow the instructions at the end of README.md.

Deploying Public Images

$ DATE=$(date --utc +%Y%m%d)

$ sudo pacman -S --needed arch-install-scripts dosfstools e2fsprogs

$ sudo ./build-arch-gce

$ gcloud auth login

$ gcloud config set project arch-linux-gce

$ gsutil cp "arch-v${DATE}.tar.gz" gs://arch-linux-gce-work

$ gcloud compute images create "arch-v${DATE}" \
    --source-uri="gs://arch-linux-gce-work/arch-v${DATE}.tar.gz" \
    --guest-os-features=GVNIC,UEFI_COMPATIBLE,VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE \
    --description="Arch Linux built on ${DATE}." \
    --family=arch

$ gsutil rm "gs://arch-linux-gce-work/arch-v${DATE}.tar.gz"

$ gcloud compute instances create "arch-v${DATE}-test" --image="arch-v${DATE}"

$ gcloud compute ssh "arch-v${DATE}-test"

$ gcloud compute instances delete "arch-v${DATE}-test"

$ gcloud compute images add-iam-policy-binding "arch-v${DATE}" \
    --member='allAuthenticatedUsers' \
    --role='roles/compute.imageUser'

$ gcloud compute images list \
    --project=arch-linux-gce \
    --no-standard-images \
        > current-images.txt

Managing the Pacman repo

See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Custom_local_repository.

  1. Sync the repo to your device

    $ mkdir -p repo
$ gsutil rsync gs://arch-linux-gce/repo repo/

  2. Build packages and copy into the repo

    $ cd path/to/package
$ PKGEXT=".pkg.tar.zst" makepkg
$ cp PACKAGE_NAME.pkg.tar.zst path/to/repo

  3. Update repo database

    $ cd path/to/repo
$ repo-add gce.db.tar.gz PACKAGE_NAME.pkg.tar.zst

  4. Upload the repo to GCS

    $ cd ..
$ gsutil rsync repo/ gs://arch-linux-gce/repo

Note that if deleting packages (use repo-remove gce.db.tar.gz PACKAGE_NAME), gsutil rsync will not delete the old package files. Use gsutil rm if required.
