The original pacman-init.service usage is to populate the pacman keyrings.
Since we install archlinux-keyring package at pacstrap, we did not need
to do it anymore.
On ops-agent, the latest package released that include the same
config.yaml.

Since around 13 December 2025, the gce repository return an error 403,
error: failed retrieving file 'gce.db' from storage.googleapis.com
: The requested URL returned error: 403
We then build google-compute-engine and google-guest-agent and host it
under build.kilabit.info repository using the latest releases [1][2].
For google-compute-engine we use version 20251014.00-1.
For google-guest-agent we use version 20251223.00-1.

An image that build for qemu will have user "arch" with predefined
SSH keys, so user can access the guest from host either using SSH key
or password.
|
|
The "pacman-key --init" does not needs to be run anymore since it will
be handled by "archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.timer".
|
|
This remove dhclient and add polkit as dependencies for systemd-hostnamed.
|
|
This changes require reorder the repository, by moving build.kilabit.info
on top of gce, because the gce provides old version os oslogin, while
build.kilabit.info provides the latest one, 20230831.00 [1].

Systemd journald in ArchLinux does not forward the log to syslog anymore.
This fix empty instance log in Cloud Logs Explorer.

The pacman.conf changes based on pacman version 6.0.2-7 where community
repository removed from list.
The mirrorlist updated to pacman-mirrorlist version 20230628-1.
|
|
Using this option give better list of the installed and the next version
of packages.
|
|
We have an issue where the image build on local and the generated
mirrorlist is located in India (or Pakistan?).
This cause our package installation/update really slow when creating a
VM in Singapore region.
Since we did not know who or where the image to be used, the safe
configuration should be to use the worldwide one.

This ops-agent is prebuild package from AUR [1].

Testing using qemu require adding "block" hooks to mkinitcpio.conf.
|
|
Because the rest of the world use metrics instead of imperial system.
|
|
The pacman.conf file is rarely updated, so we add the gce repository
directly into file and use it during pacstrap and to replace the
target root.
|
|
Using this method simplify maintenance on the build script and give
flexibility to custom image builder.
While at it, we add "udev autodetect block filesystems keyboard"
into the HOOKS to allow testing the image using qemu and "fsck"
to allow system run disk check on boot.
|
|
|
|
Using this method give more flexibility to user that need to build
image with custom SSH server configuration.
|
|
Like timesyncd, overwrite the journald configuration by adding
drop-ins configuration under /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/.
|
|
This simplify updating and maintaining custom locale for user that
does not want to use en_US.
|
|
Per manual page timesyncd.conf(5) [1]:
Initially, the main configuration file in /etc/systemd/ contains
commented out entries showing the defaults as a guide to the
administrator.
...
Using drop-ins for local configuration is recommended over
modifications to the main configuration file.
The reason why the filename is 00- describe below
It is recommended to prefix all filenames in those subdirectories with
a two-digit number and a dash, to simplify the ordering of the files.
Another reason is to prevent the system being littered with
/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf.pacnew files when systemd updated.
