| 1. Edit the mirror list located at /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and uncomment a preferred mirror (preferrably closest to you) | |
| 2. Initialize Pacman GPG Keys | |
| - $> pacman-key --init | |
| - $> pacman-key --populate archlinux | |
| - $> pacman-key --refresh-keys -u --keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net | |
| *The use of the --keyserver flag is due to an error that currently occurs when using the default keyserver | |
| 3. Reinstall Arch keyring | |
| - $> pacman -S archlinux-keyring | |
| 4. Install Yay (if desired) | |
| - Create a user (you cannot run makepkg as root, you must be signed in as a user) | |
| - $> sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel | |
| - $> git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git | |
| * if git fails, complaining about libc.so missing run $> pacman -S glibc | |
| - $> cd yay | |
| - $> makepkg -si | |
| * during the install an error came up for a missing so file (libffi), resolve with $> sudo pacman -S libffi | |
| 5. Run a full system update | |
| - $> yay -Syu | |
| 6. If after a full system update and reboot networking is missing from your container you can resolve it | |
| by setting the nesting feature on Options of the container in your ProxMox datacenter admin. |
