mjknoxie/iso-builder-devel

Rolling release ISO Builder for devel purposes. This is literally bleeding edge insanity; even the builds may fail due to new versions.

This ISO Builder

This ISO builder was basically a combination of previous efforts from Ubuntu Budgie (budgie-remix at the time), some stuff from livecd-rootfs from launchpad and Elementary OS, thanks to the amazing devs from all around! Elem Link: https://github.com/elementary/os

Why not just fork from livecd-rootfs?

The Ubuntu ISO's are built with ubuntu-cdimage scripts and with livecd-rootfs, but it has a lot of extra scripts that are hard to navigate all at once unless you have previous experience and is a bottomless well of asterisks attached to it. It's better to get something not perfect, but close enough.

Building Locally

As UCR is built with the Debian version of live-build, not the Ubuntu patched version, it's easiest to build an iso in a Debian VM or container. This prevents messing up your host system too.

The following example uses Docker and assumes you have Docker correctly installed and set up:

1. Clone this project & cd into it:

   git clone https://github.com/Ubuntu-Cinnamon-Remix/iso-builder && cd iso-builder
   

2. Configure the channel in the etc/terraform.conf (unstable, all).

3. Run the build:

   docker run --privileged -i -v /proc:/proc \
       -v ${PWD}:/working_dir \
       -w /working_dir \
       debian:latest \
       /bin/bash -s etc/terraform.conf < build.sh
   

4. When done, your image will be in the builds folder.
