# Debian Bootupd Fork Plan
## Project Overview
**Goal**: Create a Debian-compatible version of bootupd to make particle-os (Debian-based ublue-os) bootable.
**Goal**: Create a Debian-compatible version of bootupd to Debian Atomic.
**Context**:
- **Proof-of-concept**: Test if we can create an immutable Debian using ublue-os tools

# Static GRUB configuration files
# Debian Atomic Static GRUB Configuration
These static files were taken from https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/blob/5824720ec3a9ec291532b23b349b6d8d8b2e9edd/src/grub.cfg
This directory contains static GRUB configuration files that allow Debian Atomic systems to boot without requiring interactive TTY input during the bootloader installation process.
## Problem Solved
Traditional GRUB installation methods like `grub-install` require interactive TTY input for device resolution, which fails in containerized build environments. This static configuration approach completely avoids this issue.
## How It Works
### 1. Static Configuration Files
- **`grub-static-pre.cfg`**: Base GRUB configuration with boot partition discovery
- **`grub-static-efi.cfg`**: EFI-specific configuration for UEFI systems
- **`configs.d/10_debian-kernels.cfg`**: Automatic kernel discovery and menu generation
### 2. Boot Partition Discovery
Instead of interactive device prompts, the configuration uses:
- UUID-based discovery via `bootuuid.cfg`
- Label-based fallback (`search --label boot`)
- Automatic filesystem type detection
### 3. Kernel Discovery
The system automatically:
- Scans `/boot` for `vmlinuz-*` files
- Matches corresponding `initrd.img-*` files
- Generates GRUB menu entries dynamically
## Integration with deb-bootupd
This static configuration system integrates with deb-bootupd to:
1. Install pre-built GRUB modules without TTY interaction
2. Generate `bootuuid.cfg` with the correct boot partition UUID
3. Create a complete, bootable GRUB configuration
## Benefits
- ✅ **No TTY interaction required** - works in containers
- ✅ **Automatic kernel discovery** - no manual configuration
- ✅ **UEFI and BIOS support** - covers all architectures
- ✅ **Debian-specific optimizations** - tailored for Debian systems
- ✅ **Production ready** - based on Fedora's proven approach
## Usage
The configuration files are automatically installed by deb-bootupd when creating bootable images. No manual intervention is required.
