Pills: Speed up your Archlinux install with SSH

·

1 min read

It's kinda easy to miss that ArchLinux can be installed by a remote machine using SSH. After booting your USB live drive you can run:


# Set up a password for root
$ passwd

# Uncomment or add "PermitRootLogin yes" to /etc/ssh/sshd_config
$ vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# Start the SSH server
$ systemctl start sshd.service

# Check your local IP
$ ip addr

Now you can access using ssh root@yourip from any other machines. Among the advantages: copy/paste commands directly from the Installation Guide.
