The orchestrator only runs on the live ISO, so it lives in omarchy-iso
where the rest of the ISO-specific code (configurator, .automated_script
.sh, archinstall pacman config) lives. omarchy-installer stays the
monorepo of Omarchy source content (configs, themes, default files,
install scripts) without a Python install driver mixed in.
bin/omarchy-install simplifies to a one-liner: it's the online entry
point now, no --config dispatcher. The orchestrator never invokes it;
it runs finalize.sh directly via arch-chroot.
Chunk 1 of the C3 refactor: replace the two-pass install model (archinstall
CLI + custom shell dance + chroot bash installer) with a single Python
orchestrator that owns phase ordering, using archinstall as a library
subsystem.
Splits the bash entry point into two:
- install.sh: online entry point. Ensures omarchy runtime + base.packages
are installed/up to date, then exec's finalize.sh.
- finalize.sh: the in-target portion (preflight + packaging + config +
login + post-install). Called by install.sh (online) AND by the
orchestrator after arch-chroot -u $USER (offline).
Adds the orchestrator skeleton under install/orchestrator/:
- main.py: entry point, builds + runs the phase list
- context.py: InstallContext (parsed configurator JSON + invocation paths)
- phases.py: phase state machine (logging + state.json + error wrapping)
- phases_impl.py: stubbed phase implementations (filled in by chunks 2-6)
- archinstall_adapter.py: thin compat wall around archinstall lib imports
(only this module imports from archinstall.*)
- ui.py: gum subprocess wrappers so the orchestrator keeps the same
styled-terminal UX as the bash installer
Updates bin/omarchy-install to dispatch:
- --config <json> in args → python -m orchestrator.main (ISO install)
- anything else → bash install.sh (online rerun on installed system)
Concrete phase logic lands in subsequent chunks. All phases currently
raise NotImplementedError; the orchestrator imports cleanly and --help
works as a smoke check.
Brings back the omarchy-install command as a 5-line shell wrapper that
just exec's /usr/share/omarchy/install.sh. Not the 258-line Python
refactor-poc version — that one stays dropped.
The omarchy package keeps excluding bin/omarchy-install exactly so it
doesn't conflict with the omarchy-installer package's copy at /usr/bin.
All 25+ user-facing omarchy-install-* commands (gaming, browser, etc.)
still ship via omarchy.
