Arch Linux on DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean are a promising host: good machines, lovely interface, lots of free credit floating about. However they don't support custom disk images, which leaves a lot of distros unusable.

You can use this script to replace a fresh Debian 7.0 droplet with an Arch system (including the Arch Kernel). While there's no reason to think this script does anything naughty, it isn't easy to be sure. DigitalOcean might make a change that renders it unbootable, so backups would be advisable.

Installing digitalocean-debian-to-arch

1. Create a new Debian 7.0 droplet (either 32-bit or 64-bit works).
2. In the droplet (either SSH or console access works), run the following as root:
