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

Releases 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.

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 vanilla-pico 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/live-iso.git && cd live-iso
   

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 \
       ghcr.io/vanilla-os/pico:main \
       /bin/bash -s etc/terraform.conf < build.sh
   

4. When done, your image will be in the builds folder.
