Snigdha OS[Build: Arctic]

Build Snigdha OS ISO

To build Snigdha OS iso, you will require our keyring, Server Url and Repository as well as the chaotic-aur.

Requirements:

• Any Arch Based Linux Distrbution. e.g: ArchLinux, GarudaLinux, Manjaro etc.
• An Active Internet Connection [Stable]
• snigdhaos-core & chaotic-aur

Setting Up Keyring for Snigdha OS Core:

First, install the primary key - it can then be used to install our keyring and mirrorlist.

Step 1: Receiving Key From Server:

sudo pacman-key --recv-key 9F2C5C96FE18E143 --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com

Step 2: Locally Signing key:

sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 9F2C5C96FE18E143

Step 3: Getting Snigdha OS Keyring:

sudo pacman -U 'https://github.com/snigdhalinux/snigdhaos-core/blob/master/x86_64/snigdhaos-keyring-3.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst'

Step 4: Append (adding to the end of the file) to /etc/pacman.conf:

[snigdhaos-core]
Server = https://snigdhalinux.github.io/$repo/$arch

Setting Up Chaotic Aur:

sudo pacman-key --recv-key 3056513887B78AEB --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com

sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 3056513887B78AEB

sudo pacman -U 'https://cdn-mirror.chaotic.cx/chaotic-aur/chaotic-keyring.pkg.tar.zst'

sudo pacman -U 'https://cdn-mirror.chaotic.cx/chaotic-aur/chaotic-mirrorlist.pkg.tar.zst'

Append (adding to the end of the file) to /etc/pacman.conf:

[chaotic-aur]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist

*Use your favorite editor to edit pacman.conf e.g: nano, vim etc.

Downloading the source:

Step 1: Cloning

git clone https://github.com/snigdhalinux/snigdhaos-archiso-arctic.git

Get inside,

cd snigdhaos-archiso-arctic/build-arctic/

Make build-arctic.sh as an executable file.

chmod +x ./build-arctic.sh

In case if it doesn't work,

sudo pacman -S archiso

or if you are on Snigdha OS, start from here,

install archiso

Get into the directory snigdhaos-archiso-arctic/ and execute,

sudo mkarchiso -v -w build/ -o iso/ archiso-arctic/

It will start the iso building process. You can add any custom packages of your own. Just edit the packages.x86_64 and insert your package name. e.g: visual-studio-code-bin, google-chrome. it will take some time to build depending on your machine. You can have coffee break till it is done.

After the build process has finished, you will get a new directory iso. And you will find the Snigdha OS installer iso with name snigdhaos-arctic-v$current_version-x86_64.iso. Now you can install it on your machine or you can test it on any virtual machine.
