Blueberry Linux v0.3.0-beta — a real server userland
Blueberry is a self-hosted, source-built CLI server distribution. This beta
fills out the server toolkit, adds a bunch of package-manager features, and
cleans house.
Images (BIOS + UEFI)
| image | what it is |
|---|---|
blueberry-<date>-x86_64.iso |

blueberry-server-x86_64.iso |
Live systemd Server (CLI), boots straight to a root shell |
Write to USB: dd if=<iso> of=/dev/sdX bs=4M oflag=sync (whole device).
New in the base image
The installed server now has a proper admin userland, not just busybox:
procps-ng (ps/top/free/uptime/vmstat/pkill/sysctl), psmisc
(killall/pstree/fuser), lsof, and a working man (mandoc + the Linux
man-pages). These are on by default.
New on the mirror (bpm install …)
- Storage:
lvm2,xfsprogs,btrfs-progs,smartmontools. - Network:
bind-tools(dig/host/nslookup),socat,netcat,
traceroute,whois,ethtool. - Everyday:
gnupg,xz,zstd,unzip,zip,bash-completion.
bpm 1.8.0
bpm rollback <pkg>— revert to the previous cached version.bpm downgrade <pkg>[=ver]— install a specific older cached version.bpm why <pkg>— reverse dependencies / why it's installed.bpm depends <pkg>— dependency tree.bpm clean [--all]— now keeps the 2 newest versions per package (so
rollback works);--allempties the cache.- Man pages: ships
man bpm, and re-indexes man pages after each transaction.
Housekeeping
- Relicensed to GPL-3.0-or-later (a proper
LICENSEfile now exists). - The mirror was pruned of ~287 stale desktop packages left over from the
server-only pivot.
This is a beta — expect rough edges, and report what you find.
