ISO Builder

This ISO builder is fork of the good work from the elementary crew. Many thanks to the devs there https://github.com/elementary/os

Building Locally

The following example uses Docker and assumes you have Docker correctly installed and set up:

Clone this project & cd into it:

git clone https://github.com/Tile-OS/iso-builder && cd iso-builder

Configure the channel in the etc/terraform.conf (dev, stable). Configure desktop by export DESKTOP variable. May be a river or sway.

Run the build for Sway:

docker run --privileged -i -v /proc:/proc \
    -v ${PWD}:/working_dir \
    -w /working_dir \
    -e DESKTOP=sway \
    debian:latest \
    /bin/bash -s etc/terraform.conf < build.sh

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