I will show it in Office Hours at 330pm EST (always at https://jitsi.mfek.org/OfficeHours) made a lot of progress already but not yet done.

# Use the base Arch Linux image
FROM archlinux
WORKDIR .
RUN mkdir /workdir
RUN ls /
COPY "./workdir/mirrorlist" /workdir
COPY "./workdir/*.zst" /workdir

RUN cp /workdir/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# Update the system and install necessary packages
RUN pacman -Syu --noconfirm && \
    pacman -S --noconfirm base-devel git parallel python

# Create a non-root user
RUN useradd -m dockeruser &&\
    echo 'dockeruser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' >> /etc/sudoers.d/dockeruser

# Switch to the non-root user
USER dockeruser

# Install yay (AUR helper)
RUN sudo pacman -U /workdir/*.zst --noconfirm

# Install AUR packages: xidel-bin and gftools
RUN yay -Syu --noconfirm xidel-bin gftools

# Set the entry point or default command
CMD ["/bin/bash"]

i have this working quite well now but the Dockerfile may not be the best as i'd never written one before
