Arch linux setup on a raspberry pi-5

I’m just writing this to put together the steps I have used to install arch linux on a rapsberry pi5.

I have mainly followed those two guides, but mainly followed the same steps as the first one with a few small changes:

• Sven Kiljan’s post - Arch Linux ARM on a Raspberry Pi 5 Model B.
  • Main steps on preparing the microsd card with arch.
• Rapsberry tips - Installing Arch Linux On Raspberry Pi: A Complete Guide.
  • Used this guide more as a small reference for certain small things for the installation.
• My repo with the scripts I have used / changed based on kilian’s scripts: archlinux-rapsberrypi.
  • Mainly fixes for the links and a few small changes for both scripting steps for Sven Kiljan's post.

Next steps:

• Will need to adapt some scripts still, but mostly the steps there are working to setup from my own ubuntu machine the whole boot on the SD card.
• With the script I can setup several nodes later on with the same process.
• I was able to set up the wifi connection as well with wifi-menu.
• Could then update the kernel and boot loader, as explained by kiljan on his page at Update Arch Linux ARM.

And then the reboot worked perfectly and here it is the arch on my rapsberry pi5:
