Quick mesh network setup for Archlinux. Once enabled, this service connects a device to a specified mesh network on boot.

This repo is a pacman package. You can install it like any other pacman package.

$ sudo pacman -U https://github.com/mgbelisle/mesh/raw/master/mesh.pkg.tar.xz

Enabling the mesh service will start it on boot.

$ sudo systemctl enable mesh

Once started, machines on the mesh are addressable via hostname.local.

$ ping ares.local

Configs are set via /etc/mesh.conf.

• If a machine is not reachable via hostname.local, make sure mdns is enabled in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
