A Debian based OS, using pi-gen to build .img's for raspberry pi's and maybe even i386 machines.

pi-gen runs on Debian-based operating systems. Currently it is only supported on either Debian Buster or Ubuntu Xenial and is known to have issues building on earlier releases of these systems. On other Linux distributions it may be possible to use the Docker build described below.

To install the required dependencies for pi-gen you should run:

apt-get install coreutils quilt parted qemu-user-static debootstrap zerofree zip \
dosfstools libarchive-tools libcap2-bin grep rsync xz-utils file git curl bc \
qemu-utils kpartx gpg pigz

Getting started is as simple as cloning this repository on your build machine. You can do so with:

git clone https://github.com/oxmc/FurboianOS.git

--depth 1 can be added afer git clone to create a shallow clone, only containing the latest revision of the repository. Do not do this on your development machine.

Also, be careful to clone the repository to a base path NOT containing spaces. This configuration is not supported by debootstrap and will lead to pi-gen not running.

After cloning the repository, you can move to the next step and start configuring your build.

Note: pi-gen usually takes a config file, but this repo has been hardcoded for a bullseye build, if you wish to build for another distribution, check the branches.

To start building the os you can run either build.sh or build-docker.sh

Note:

I have only tested build.sh as i don't use docker

Your images will be loacted at: work/FurboianOS/export_image, and if you do a noobs build aswell, it will be located in the same path, but the folder will be: export_noobs
