darch (Docker Arch) is a container-based Linux image building and booting system that leverages Docker for building root filesystems and bootable images. It allows users to define system images as Dockerfiles, making Linux operating system builds reproducible, modular, and easily maintainable. darch images are booted via a custom initramfs and are ideal for creating immutable systems or quickly spinning up specialized environments without traditional installation steps.
Features
- Define full Linux OS builds using Dockerfiles
- Uses Docker to create reproducible, layered root filesystems
- Boot directly into images via custom initramfs
- Supports multiple init systems including systemd
- Suitable for immutable and declarative system designs
- Simplifies OS builds with versioned, containerized configurations
- Ability to switch between OS images at boot
- CLI tool for building, managing, and booting images
