💖 SYSTEM-IMAGES 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the system-images(7) manual page, and no this is not a boring one, this is the good one. it's a manual page from the Open Infrastructure project and it's all about Debian based live and installer images. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

✨ NAME ✨

system-images — Debian based live and installer images 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the page opens with a whole quote and honestly? iconic behaviour:

"In computing, configuration files, or config files configure the initial settings for some computer programs." -- Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_file)

and what that means for us is: system-images contains configuration trees of some Debian based live and installer images. like, the whole little forest of config that makes those images exist 🌳✨

🦋 DOWNLOAD 🦋

here's where you go get the goods, all four of them, and yes i'm giving you every single link because you deserve them:

💜 DEVELOPMENT 💜

Bug reports, feature requests, help, patches, support and everything else are welcome on the Open Infrastructure Software Mailing List:

Please base patches against the next Git branch using common sense:

Debian specific bugs can also be reported in the Debian Bug Tracking System:

bestie, "using common sense" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in that sentence and i respect it fr fr 😭

🌈 USAGE 🌈

okay so here are the configuration trees that are available, the whole lineup 👑

A software called system-build can be used to automatically build images from this configuration tree.

system-build can be obtained from https://open-infrastructure.net/software/system-build.

On Debian based systems, system-build can be installed with:

# apt-get install system-build

system-build can be used to build this image with the following command executed in this directory::

# lb build
note the double colon at the end of that sentence, it's literally in the original, i am not touching it, i keep every detail, that's the rule 💅
