This article describes how to go about installing Arch Linux on a BitFolk VPS.
Overview
Arch Linux (or Arch) is a Linux-based operating system for i686 and x86-64 computers. It is composed predominantly of free and open source software, and supports community involvement.
- – Arch Linux at Wikipedia
Unlike other Linux distributions such as Debian or CentOS, Arch Linux doesn't have a bootable installer as such. Instead it is normally installed by booting a live environment and then running scripts to configure a chroot. Therefore instead of booting an installer image from the Xen Shell, the procedure for installing Arch is easier initiated from the rescue VPS.
The rescue VPS is a fully-functional Linux environment in its own right, although its storage is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, the base Arch Linux install quite easily fits within the capacity of the smallest VPS package's swap disk (typically xvdb1), so this can be used for initial storage while installing onto the main disk (typically xvda1).
Support status
Arch Linux isn't listed amongst the Linux distributions that BitFolk typically supports because we lack experience of running it on a day-to-day basis.
When customers encounter problems with their VPSes it can often help if BitFolk support can offer advice and reassurance that whatever problem they are encountering is not related to the virtualization technology in use.
Despite the fact that BitFolk VPSes are unmanaged — meaning that they are only suitable for experienced Linux administrators (or those willing to put the time in to gain experience) — without this in-depth understanding of how Arch Linux works we feel we cannot promise the usual level of support and advice.
We do not believe that there is any reason why an experienced administrator of Arch Linux cannot use Arch on BitFolk just as well as any other Linux distribution, however.
That also means that this article is just a first attempt, by someone who is not an experienced Arch Linux admin, to do an install. It may not be the best way to achieve the goal. Improvements are welcomed.
Preparation
Before proceeding you should check that you are able to:
- Connect to your xen shell.
- Boot into the rescue environment
You should also be ready to completely overwrite your existing VPS install.
As long as all of the above is the case then you should be able to install Arch Linux without requiring any assistance from support.
Installation procedure
Partitioning
The default disk layout for a BitFolk VPS is two disks (xvda and xvdb), the first of which will be the size of the requested disk space and the second of which will be equal to the size of the memory of the VPS.
Both disks will have a single partition spanning the whole disk.
The first partition of the first disk (xvda1) will be used for the root file system and the corresponding first partition on the second disk (xvdb1) will be used for swap.
At the moment booting must take place from an ext3 file system so the default at BitFolk is to have xvda1 be ext3.
If other file systems are desired then it is best to create (in the xen shell) one disk per file system and then use xvda1 as /boot and ext3. The other disks can be any other file system that your kernel supports.
This guide will focus on the usual case of just having a single disk formatted as ext3.
So, having logged in to the rescue environment, firstly partition your xvda and format the new file system:

Arch Linux provides a bootstrap archive that contains everything needed to run the install tools. You can download it from an Arch Linux mirror and unpack it to your install space:
root@rescue:/home/user# wget -O - http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.archlinux.org/iso/2013.08.01/archlinux-bootstrap-2013.08.01-x86_64.tar.gz | tar -C /mnt -zxf -

The /mnt/root.x86_64/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file will have every mirror commented out. Edit it and uncomment a sensible UK mirror such as:
## United Kingdom
Server = http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$archObtain some entropy
One of the first things that the bootstrap script is going to do is use pacman-key to initialize the keyring, essential for verifying the integrity of the packages it will download. This requires entropy.
The rescue environment, being a virtual machine running from a RAM disk, doesn't have access to much entropy. We will need to provide it with some, otherwise pacman-key may never actually complete (I waited half an hour).
haveged is a convenient tool to inject some entropy into the system, so we'll install that in the rescue environment and run it.

At this point you're inside a chroot system based off of the rescue environment's /mnt. There's a /mnt directory inside this chroot and that's where you need to mount your target disk that your actual Arch Linux install will be written to.
sh-4.2# mount -obarrier=0 /dev/xvda1 /mnt
[ 3432.877133] EXT3-fs: barriers not enabled
[ 3432.888424] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
[ 3432.906229] EXT3-fs (xvda1): using internal journal
[ 3432.906239] EXT3-fs (xvda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data modeIf you had a more complicated file system layout in mind then it would be at this point that you would mount it all in the correct places under /mnt.
Create /run/shm
On recent Debian-based systems the default RAM disk can be found at /run/shm as opposed to /dev/shm, and a symlink to /run/shm is used. At the time of writing the Arch Linux pacstrap expects it to be at /dev/shm.
This is simple to work around:
sh-4.2# mkdir /run/shmFollow the upstream install instructions
The rest of the procedure is as described in the Arch Linux documentation:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide#Install_the_base_system
Every step will be reproduced here, but the exact procedure may change over time. Please study the above link for an explanation of what is being done at each step.
sh-4.2# pacstrap /mnt base
==> Creating install root at /mnt
==> Installing packages to /mnt

We will configure the network as a simple static ethernet configuration. You can obtain the address information either from the rescue environment or from your Panel account.
The following example details will be used in this guide:
| IPv4 address | 85.119.82.225 |
|---|---|
| IPv4 netmask | 255.255.248.0 (/21) |
| IPv4 gateway | 85.119.80.1 |
| IPv6 address | 2001:ba8:1f1:f1d7::2/64 |
| IPv6 gateway | 2001:ba8:1f1:f1d7::1 |

No actual boot loader package is needed, but a dummy /boot/grub/menu.lst file is necessary so that the VPS can be booted by Xen.
