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/Vanilla-OS/os.git && cd os

  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.

Release tags

Released usually follows the Ubuntu release cycle i.e. 22.10, 23.04... Releases named 22.10-r1 means that the release is still 22.10 with just a refreshed of the repositories and packages, this is meant to help users getting the latest release with updated packages, with more fixes and features OTB.
