🦋 SYSTEM-IMAGES-BASE — bestie edition 🦋

okay so this is the man page for system-images_base-system, a minimal live and installer image, and it lives in the Open Infrastructure manual, section 7. buckle up, it's giving very "config files but make it fashion". 💅

✨ NAME ✨

system-images_base-system — a minimal live and installer image. that's it. that's the whole vibe. tiny, bootable, iconic. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, what even is a config file? the page opens with a whole quote about it, and honestly? it ate:

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

and that's literally what this is. system-images contains configuration trees of some Debian based live and installer images. trees of config. forest energy. 🌸

🌈 DOWNLOAD 🌈

get you some, bestie. here's everywhere it lives:

🫶 INSTALLATION 🫶

🧚 SOURCE 🧚

building from source, the main character route. three steps, no skips:

  1. install the deps first, they're non-negotiable:
sudo apt install asciidoc git docbook-xml docbook-xsl libxml2-utils make xsltproc imagemagick librsvg2-bin
  1. clone it:
git clone https://sources.open-infrastructure.net/software/system-images
  1. then go in and install:
cd system-images && sudo make install

👑 DEBIAN 9 (STRETCH) AND NEWER 👑

  • on Debian 9 (Stretch) and newer, you can just grab the package instead. so easy it's almost rude:
sudo apt install system-images

🔥 DEVELOPMENT 🔥

bug reports, feature requests, help, patches, support, and honestly everything else — all welcome on the Open Infrastructure Software Mailing List:

please base your patches against the next Git branch and use common sense while you're at it:

and if it's a Debian specific bug, you can also drop it in the Debian Bug Tracking System:

🌟 USAGE 🌟

here are the configuration trees you get, pick your fighter:

there's also a whole separate software called system-build that will automatically build images from this configuration tree. obsessed.

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

and then, to actually build this image, run this command in this directory:

# lb build
fr fr that's the whole build. lb build. periodt. 💅
