I can't install Arch on OVH Cloud. It's by far my favourite distro, tbh.


There is one solution I've seen being used to solve this issue.

It is to overwrite the current Linux OS with the one you want. I came across this idea here [0]. I researched and got Alpine Linux running on Hetzner (even they don't support custom images) using a similar method [1].

This seems to be the guide to do the same with Arch Linux [2], I'm not sure though.

Once you do create a successful Arch image on OVH, take a snapshot of the machine before installing anything else, in case you want to start from a fresh Arch image in the future.
