Option to directly reboot after installation #1747
Description
This a suggestion.
Can we create a option on what to do after the installation.
- Post-Install
- Reboot
- Chroot (Into installed system)
- Exit (Into the Archiso)
So when for example I setup a VM, I can just close the virt-viewer, and access it via ssh.

hmm, I'm so used to doing this with prepping a conf and do
archinstall --conf https://hvornum.se/reboot.json --silentand in the conf having:{ ... "custom-commands": [ "reboot" ] }(you can also skip
--silentand have the conf only contain the reboot starement, and archinstall will behave as usual with the menues, but after do the reboot)But this could also be done with
archinstall && rebootassuming we didn't have the "do you want to chroot.."CocoXiaoLong commentedon Apr 21, 2023
So those custom commands are executed before the
chrootprompt and after the other installations? Nice to know...That would be fine by me, but I think for most people, it would be easier to have a menu point for it or when doing a spontaneous installation and not wanting to edit a config file.

I agree, from a simplistic use case.
I would argue that the "do you want to chroot" and "reboot" could be moved in to a post-install menu options. So it's part of the menu system instead of being a
input()question after :)
