cachyos-pacstrap

Bootstrap-from-scratch CachyOS root filesystem, built via pacstrap inside the privileged /charly-distros:cachyos-pacstrap-builder container (from: builder:pacstrap, bootstrap_builder_image: cachyos-pacstrap-builder).

Lives in overthinkos/cachyos (git submodule at box/cachyos). Build: charly -C box/cachyos box build cachyos-pacstrap.

When to use it (and when not)

The canonical CachyOS base (/charly-distros:cachyos) pulls the upstream-published OCI image from Docker Hub — that is the recommended path and the one the CachyOS project itself uses. This pacstrap variant exists for offline / air-gapped builds and as a worked example of the from: builder:pacstrap + bootstrap_builder_image: pattern.

pacstrap x86_64_v3 + SigLevel (fixed)
