How To Build

Requirements

1. Debian based system. Other Linux distros might work but requires additional setup. See live-build official doc
2. At least 64 GB free disk spaces.
3. Live Build

   sudo apt install -y live-build
   

4. UV

   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
   

   Note that uv is a per-user basis tool. The build process requires root permission, which means you also need to install it for root user.

Build Instructions

1. Clone project and enter project root

   git clone https://github.com/HallBlazzar/myos
   cd myos
   

2. Install required packages

   uv sync
   

3. Build image

   cd src
   sudo uv run main.py
   

The build process will take 1-2 hours depends on hardware and network bandwidth. Once image built, you can find artifacts in the src/build. The live system ISO is myos-amd64.hybrid.iso, which you can boot it as VM(to validate/test it before deploying) or create a bootable device via tools like ISO Image Writer or Rufus.
