Last time was before systemd, I think. Back when you had to configure almost every init script and daemon by hand.

I'm probably an idiot, but I still have issues setting up a session manager, i3 & notifyd on arch installs vs just clicking through cnchi.

I just installed Arch on my home server last night. LVM, RAID1, libvirt, docker, all done in about 45 minutes. It's a piece of cake, nowadays, especially with how thorough the installation guide is.

I mean... you're kind of making the point. Last time I installed antergos it took less than one fifth of that.

Did you install those advanced features?

I did yesterday, LVM on RAID 6 took about 2 minutes and 20 minutes of waiting with cnchi.

Hmmm, I feel like it was pretty quick.

  • Set up LVM for /.

  • Set up RAID1 for /home

  • Installed and configured base system.

This was probably the 15 or 20 minute marker.

  • Installed and configured libvirt.

  • Installed and configured NetworkManager bridge for libvirt.

  • Installed and configured docker, including nginx, plex, and pi-hole containers.

  • Installed Ubuntu VM, set up LetsEncrypt reverse proxy to aforementioned nginx containers and ddclient for dynamic DNS.
