Thinking of maintaining an iso for just myself (iusearchlinux.fyi)

Hey everyone. I'm thinking of maintaining an iso for my setup once I have that the way I like it. I wouldn't publish it so it would just be for me.

How easy would that be to do? Would it just be a case of rebuilding the iso every week/month to get the updated packages in it, or is there more to it?

Thanks!

Why don't you maintain a git repo, containing your configurations and everything?

I think it's easier then maintain an iso

I use chezmoi to backup my configs, and ive thought about writing a post-install script, but its not difficult to maintain ine for myself then i would like to have an iso which will setup everything automatically. Im just unsure if its easier than maintaining one for public use

Well I haven't really used it myself yet but you could add aconfmgr to your setup.

I second this. Until I have a solid use case for archiso, I strongly prefer tracking my dotfiles + installed packages and manually provisioning a fresh install.
