• src/linux_diagnostics_controller: Contains the main logic for the Linux diagnostics controller daemon, handling configuration and diagnostics execution.
• config/config.yaml: Configuration file for the daemon. Users can customize the behavior of the diagnostics controller here.
• packages/debian/: Contains files necessary for building the DEB package.
  • control: Package metadata including name, version, maintainer, dependencies, and description.
  • postinst: Script executed after the DEB package is installed to enable and start the systemd service.

  • rules: Defines the build process for the DEB package.
• packages/rpm/: Contains files necessary for building the RPM package.
  • linux_diagnostics.spec: RPM package specification including name, version, release, summary, license, and installation/uninstallation scripts.
  • postinstall.sh: Script executed after the RPM package is installed to enable and start the systemd service.
  • preuninstall.sh: Script executed before the RPM package is removed to stop and disable the systemd service.
• README.md: Documentation for the project.
• Makefile: Defines the build commands for creating the DEB and RPM packages.

Instructions to Build Packages

Build DEB Package

1. Navigate to the project root directory:

   cd /path/to/linux_diagnostics
   

2. Run the following command to build the DEB package:
