Safe Network Node on 64-bit ARM servers Installation Guide [Manjaro minimal]

[Update]

I’m yet again stuck trying to build a vagrant box.

This time I’m trying to go for direct installation of manjaro OS as my attempt of Arch & migrate seemed to have keyring trust issues that I rather want to avoid.

I managed to get the manjaro build to load the provisioner, but for whatever reason it has super duper problems with the connection and is thus unable to download anything.

[update]

I got unstuck and will have a box ready soon.

[update]

Box is ready. And… it has the same issue as the Zelec’s manjaro base box.

[update]

I’ve had two issues with the box that both turn out to be qemu bugs, one being the blk_update_request I/O error. So only the latest qemu-git works for Arch Linux users and perhaps all Linux users. There’s still one issue left though as manjaro-arm-installer doesn’t seem to find the device during installment. I will look into Zelec’s manjaro base box again to see if it has the same issue.

[update]

I get more and more the feeling the bug I have is due to my old card readers. I’m going to order new ones.

[update]

It’s not the age of my SD card reader or as SD card. Reported the bug to three projects.

[update]

I finally figured it out what I have been doing wrong all this time.
The box has worked all along. I just did not add the USB correctly.

[update]

Version 0.2.0 has the USB issue now fixed by default. FINALLY! I can move on.

[update]

Version 0.3.0 released.

[update]

Version 0.4.0 released.

[update]

I have been unable to get libvirt to work with windows, so I added a virtualbox edition for windows users.

Do you know how to use libvirt with windows?

It’s not something I’ve tried before.

It’s impossible I’ve been told, so I’ve added virtualbox.
