## 📋 **Detailed Workflow Steps**
### **Step 1: Treefile Definition** ✅ **AVAILABLE**
**Tool**: [debian-atomic-config](https://git.raines.xyz/particle-os/debian-atomic-config) repository
**What it does**:
- Defines system variants (GNOME, KDE, Sway, Budgie, Minimal)
- Specifies package selections and dependencies
- Configures system settings and customizations
**Example**:
```yaml
# debian-gnome-atomic.yaml
ostree:
ref: debian/14/x86_64/gnome-atomic
repo: /tmp/apt-ostree/debian/repo
base: debian:trixie
packages:
- gnome-shell
- gnome-session
- firefox-esr
```
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Repository exists with multiple variants
---
### **Step 2: OSTree Composition** ✅ **AVAILABLE**
**Tool**: [apt-ostree](https://git.raines.xyz/particle-os/apt-ostree) repository
**What it does**:
- Converts treefiles to OSTree commits
- Resolves Debian package dependencies
- Creates atomic system snapshots
**Command**:
```bash
apt-ostree compose tree treefiles/debian-gnome-atomic.yaml
```
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Tool exists and functional
---
### **Step 3: Bootc Container Creation** ✅ **AVAILABLE**
**Tool**: [particle-os/bootc](https://git.raines.xyz/particle-os/bootc) (Debian-compiled)
**What it does**:
- Converts OSTree commits to bootc containers
- Creates bootable container images
- Prepares systems for image building
**Command**:
```bash
bootc build --repo /path/to/ostree/repo debian/14/x86_64/gnome-atomic
```
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Debian-compiled bootc available
---
### **Step 4: Image Building** ✅ **AVAILABLE**
**Tool**: Your `deb-bootc-image-builder` project
**What it does**:
- Processes bootc containers into bootable disk images
- Creates multiple output formats (raw, qcow2, vmdk, vdi)
- Handles bootloader installation and configuration
**Command**:
```bash
./bib/particle-os build --base-image bootc-container recipes/desktop.yml
```
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Your tool is functional
---

- Atomic composition
3. **Container Creation**: [particle-os/bootc](https://git.raines.xyz/particle-os/bootc)
- Debian-compiled bootc
- OSTree → Container conversion
- Bootable system preparation
4. **Image Building**: Your `deb-bootc-image-builder`
- Container → Bootable image conversion
- Multiple output formats
- Bootloader integration

## ❌ **What's Missing (Integration & Testing)**
### **1. End-to-End Testing** 🔄 **NEEDS WORK**
**Missing**:
- Complete pipeline validation
- Integration testing between components
- End-to-end workflow verification
**What we need**:
```bash
# Test complete pipeline
cd debian-atomic-config
apt-ostree compose tree treefiles/debian-minimal.yaml
bootc build --repo . debian/14/x86_64/minimal
./bib/particle-os build --base-image bootc-container recipes/minimal.yml
```
### **2. Documentation & Examples** 🔄 **NEEDS WORK**
**Missing**:
- Complete workflow documentation
- User guides for the full pipeline
- Examples of complete system builds
**What we need**:
- Step-by-step tutorials
- Complete workflow examples
- Troubleshooting guides
### **3. CI/CD Integration** 🔄 **NEEDS WORK**
**Missing**:
- Automated testing of complete pipeline
- Integration between repositories
- Automated builds and deployments
**What we need**:
- Cross-repository CI/CD
- Automated testing workflows
- Build artifact sharing
---
## 🚀 **Complete Workflow Example (What Should Work)**
### **Full Pipeline Test**
```bash
# 1. Clone all repositories
git clone https://git.raines.xyz/particle-os/debian-atomic-config
git clone https://git.raines.xyz/particle-os/apt-ostree
git clone https://git.raines.xyz/particle-os/bootc
# 2. Set up development environment
cd debian-atomic-config
source dev_setup.sh
# 3. Generate OSTree commit
apt-ostree compose tree treefiles/debian-minimal.yaml
# 4. Create bootc container
bootc build --repo . debian/14/x86_64/minimal
# 5. Build bootable image
cd /path/to/your/deb-bootc-image-builder
./bib/particle-os build --base-image bootc-container recipes/minimal.yml
# 6. Test the image
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda debian-minimal.qcow2
```
