Minidlna use systemd.

Well, now, that looks nice. Thank you.
As soon as I can get a new artix-iso that installs and is actually able to do the update again..... I will test that new nice package.
Just when does such an iso come out (open-rc)? The old one (early 2018) fails constantly to update correctly. I seem to have no luck editing mirrorlists and paqcman.conf files.

You can install an OpenRC system from a runit iso.

The question is how to install a runit system from a runit-iso?
With both installation methods I ended up with an openrc installation.

What?
Just do "basestrap /mnt base base-devel runit".

Now I know

Use basestrap to install the base and optionally the base-devel package groups and your preferred init (currently available: openrc and runit):

Code: [Select]

 basestrap /mnt base base-devel openrc

To all of you: hello
I have created a very minimalistic init script for you. It is tested and it works without any trouble.

Make sure you have the latest mirrorlist and pacman -Syu updates.
Then you install minidlana, it comes from some repo ready for Arix, but it provides no init-script.
sudo pacman -S minidlna

Now read this:
