The previous per-day cache (iso_YYYY-MM-DD) forced a fresh ~6GB download on the first build of every day. Different channels (stable/edge/rc) HAVE different package sets and shouldn't share a cache, but different DAYS within a channel don't, so keying by channel gives us a stable cache that persists indefinitely. omarchy* packages always rebuild fresh inside the container regardless: build-omarchy-packages.sh nukes /tmp/omarchy-pkg-build at the start and the final mv overwrites the cached .pkg.tar.zst (pkgver is constant). --no-cache still bypasses the mount entirely for a clean-slate run.
Omarchy ISO
The Omarchy ISO streamlines the installation of Omarchy. It includes the Omarchy Configurator as a front-end to archinstall and automatically launches the Omarchy Installer after base arch has been setup.
Downloading the latest ISO
See the ISO link on omarchy.org.
Creating the ISO
Run ./bin/omarchy-iso-make and the output goes into ./release. You can build from your local $OMARCHY_PATH for testing by using --local-source or from a checkout of the dev branch (instead of master) by using --dev.
Environment Variables
You can customize the repositories used during the build process by passing in variables:
OMARCHY_INSTALLER_REPO- GitHub repository for the installer (default:basecamp/omarchy)OMARCHY_INSTALLER_REF- Git ref (branch/tag) for the installer (default:master)
Example usage:
OMARCHY_INSTALLER_REPO="myuser/omarchy-fork" OMARCHY_INSTALLER_REF="some-feature" ./bin/omarchy-iso-make
Testing the ISO
Run ./bin/omarchy-iso-boot [release/omarchy.iso].
Signing the ISO
Run ./bin/omarchy-iso-sign [gpg-user] [release/omarchy.iso].
Uploading the ISO
Run ./bin/omarchy-iso-upload [release/omarchy.iso]. This requires you've configured rclone (use rclone config).
Full release of the ISO
Run ./bin/omarchy-iso-release VERSION to create, test, sign, and upload the ISO in one flow. Add --rc to release an RC build instead.
