Arch Linux on a VPS (简体中文)
摘自 Wikipedia:Virtual private server:
- Virtual private server (VPS) is a term used by Internet hosting services to refer to a virtual machine. The term is used for emphasizing that the virtual machine, although running in software on the same physical computer as other customers' virtual machines, is in many respects functionally equivalent to a separate physical computer, is dedicated to the individual customer's needs, has the privacy of a separate physical computer, and can be configured to run server software.
本文主要讨论Arch Linux在VPS方面的应用, 并且包括了一些VPS的详细的安装于维护的指南.

OpenVZ
在任意OpenVZ提供商上安装Arch Linux
It's possible to directly copy an installation of Arch Linux over the top of a working OpenVZ VPS. This tutorial explains how to create a basic installation of Arch Linux with pacstrap
(as used in a standard install) and then replace the contents of a target VPS with it using rsync.
This process (with minor modification) also works to migrate existing Arch installations between various environments and has been confirmed to work in migrating from OpenVZ to Xen and from Xen to OpenVZ. For an install to Xen, other hardware-virtualized platforms, or probably even to physical hardware (unconfirmed), extra steps (basically running mkinitcpio
and installing a boot loader) are needed.
前置知识
- A working Arch Linux installation
- To keep things simple, it should match the architecture you want to install on your VPS (x86_64 or i686).
- To build from other distributions, arch-bootstrap.sh can be used in place of
pacstrap
.
- The arch-install-scripts, rsync, and openssh packages from the official repositories
- SSH is not strictly required, but rsync over SSH is the method used here.
- A VPS running any distribution, with
rsync
and a working SSH server- Its architecture (x86_64 or i686) does not matter as long as the OpenVZ installation can support your target architecture.
- OpenVZ's serial console feature (usually accessible via your provider's control panel)
- Without this, any network configuration for the target VPS will have to be done immediately after the "Build" step below.
搭建一个干净的Arch Linux
As root, build the installation (optionally replacing build
with your preferred target directory):
# mkdir build # pacstrap -cd build
Other tweaks for the pacstrap
command:
-
-C custom-pacman-config.conf
- Use a custom pacman configuration file. By default, pacstrap builds according to your local pacman.conf. This determines the architecture (i686 or x86_64) of the build, the mirror list, etc. -
-B
- Prevent pacstrap from copying your system's pacman keyring to the new build. If you use this option, you will need to runpacman-key --init
andpacman-key --populate archlinux
in the Configuration step to set up the keyring. -
-M
- Prevent pacstrap from copying your system's pacman mirror list to the new build.
把VPS上的所有东西都Arch Arch掉
把目标VPS上所有的文件, 目录和其它各种东西都用你的build
目录的内容替换掉 (把下面的 "YOUR.VPS.IP.ADDRESS" 换掉):
rsync
这个命令根据设计就是极具毁灭性的, 特别是带上 --delete
选项的时候.# rsync -ax --delete-delay -e ssh --stats -P build/ YOUR.VPS.IP.ADDRESS:/
选项的解释:
At minimum, only the -a
(preserve timestamps, permissions, etc.), -x
(do not cross filesystem boundaries), and --delete
(delete anything in the target that does not exist in the source) options are required. The --delete-delay
option is an alternate deletion mode which waits to delete anything until the synchronization is otherwise complete; this is not necessary but may reduce the risk of a slow transfer causing the target VPS to lock-up. The -e ssh
(use rsync over SSH) option is recommended and makes things simple. The --stats
and -P
options are just to show more information.
配置
- 将VPS从外部重启 (比如你可以利用provider的控制面板来干这件事).
- 使用 OpenVZ 的端口控制特性来配置 网络 和 基本系统设定 (无视 fstab 的生成和 arch-chroot 的相关步骤).
- 如果你接触不到端口控制特性, 那你在把Arch Linux同步到VPS前就提前配置好你的网络设定.
