+# particle-os
+
+A Debian-based fork of ublue-os that provides osbuild backend support for Debian ecosystems. This project adapts the Red Hat osbuild system to work seamlessly with Debian-based distributions, replacing RPM/DNF components with APT/DPKG equivalents.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+particle-os is designed to provide a robust, pipeline-based image building solution for Debian ecosystems, enabling the creation of reproducible, customized operating system images through declarative manifests.
+
+## Key Features
+

+- **Bootc Integration**: Modern bootloader management with bootc
+- **Multi-Architecture**: Support for amd64, arm64, and other Debian architectures
+- **Pipeline-Based**: Declarative manifest system for reproducible builds
+- **Container Support**: Docker and OCI image creation
+- **Cloud Integration**: AWS, GCP, Azure image support
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+particle-os CLI → Manifest Parser → Pipeline Builder → Stage Executor → Object Store → Assembler → Final Artifact
+     ↓              ↓                ↓               ↓            ↓          ↓         ↓
+  Main Entry   JSON Schema    Dependency Graph   Stage Runner   Cache      Output Gen  Image/Archive

+
+## Adding New Stages
+
+### Stage Implementation
+
+1. Create a new Python file in `src/stages/`
+2. Follow the naming convention: `org.osbuild.debian.<name>`
+3. Implement the required interface:
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/python3
+
+import os
+import sys
+import osbuild.api
+
+def main(tree, options):
+    """Stage description"""
+    # Implementation here
+    return 0
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    args = osbuild.api.arguments()
+    ret = main(args["tree"], args["options"])
+    sys.exit(ret)
+```
+
+### Stage Metadata
+
+Create a corresponding `.meta.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "org.osbuild.debian.<name>",
+  "version": "1",
+  "description": "Stage description",
+  "stages": {
+    "org.osbuild.debian.<name>": {
+      "type": "object",
+      "additionalProperties": false,
+      "required": [],
+      "properties": {
+        "option1": {
+          "type": "string",
+          "description": "Option description"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "capabilities": {
+    "CAP_SYS_ADMIN": "Required capability"
+  },
+  "external_tools": ["required-tool"]
+}
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+1. Add tests to `tests/test_<name>.py`
+2. Run tests: `make test`
+3. Ensure good test coverage
+
+## Building and Testing
+
+### Common Commands
+

+# Format code
+make format
+
+# Clean build artifacts
+make clean
+
+# Full rebuild
+make rebuild
+```
+
+### Testing Stages
+
+```bash
+# Test individual stage
+python3 src/stages/org.osbuild.debian.debootstrap
+
+# Run with test data
+python3 src/stages/org.osbuild.debian.debootstrap /tmp/test-tree '{"suite": "trixie"}'
+```
+
+## Manifest Development
+
+### Basic Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "2",
+  "pipelines": [
+    {
+      "name": "build",
+      "runner": "org.osbuild.linux",
+      "stages": [
+        {
+          "name": "org.osbuild.debian.debootstrap",
+          "options": {
+            "suite": "trixie"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ],
+  "assembler": {
+    "name": "org.osbuild.tar",
+    "options": {
+      "filename": "output.tar.gz"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Manifests
+
+```bash
+# Build with manifest
+particle-os examples/debian-basic.json
+
+# Debug mode
+particle-os --debug examples/debian-basic.json
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+### Code Style
+
+- Follow PEP 8 guidelines
+- Use type hints where possible
+- Write docstrings for all functions
+- Keep functions small and focused
+
+### Testing Requirements
+
+- All new code must have tests
+- Maintain test coverage above 80%
+- Include integration tests for complex features
+
+### Pull Request Process
+
+1. Fork the repository
+2. Create a feature branch
+3. Make your changes
+4. Add tests
+5. Ensure all tests pass
+6. Submit a pull request
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Stage Not Found
+- Check stage is in correct directory
+- Verify metadata file exists
+- Check stage permissions (should be executable)
+
+#### Permission Denied
+- Ensure stage has correct capabilities
+- Check if running as root when required
+- Verify external tool availability
+
+#### Build Failures
+- Check manifest syntax
+- Verify all required stages are available
+- Check external tool dependencies
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+```bash
+# Enable debug output
+export OSBUILD_DEBUG=1
+
+# Run with verbose logging
+particle-os --verbose manifest.json
+```
+
+## External Dependencies
+
+### Required Tools
+
+- `debootstrap`: Base system construction
+- `chroot`: Filesystem isolation
+- `apt-get`: Package management
+- `ostree`: OSTree operations
+- `bootc`: Bootloader management
+
+### Package Versions
+
+- Python: 3.8+
+- jsonschema: 4.0.0+
+- pytest: 7.0.0+
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- Use appropriate debootstrap variants
+- Minimize package installations
+- Leverage caching when possible
+- Consider parallel stage execution
+
+## Security
+
+- Validate all inputs
+- Use minimal required capabilities
+- Sanitize file paths
+- Implement proper error handling

+"""
+Functionality provided by the host
+
+The biggest functionality this module provides are so called host
+services:
+
+Stages run inside a container to isolate them from the host which
+the build is run on. This means that the stages do not have direct
+access to certain features offered by the host system, like access
+to the network, devices as well as the osbuild store itself.
+
+Host services are a way to provide functionality to stages that is
+restricted to the host and not directly available in the container.
+
+A service itself is an executable that gets spawned by osbuild on-
+demand and communicates with osbuild via a simple JSON based IPC
+protocol. To ease the development of such services the `Service`
+class of this module can be used, which sets up and handles the
+communication with the host.
+
+On the host side a `ServiceManager` can be used to spawn and manage
+concrete services. Specifically it functions as a context manager
+and will shut down services when the context exits.
+
+The `ServiceClient` class provides a client for the services and can
+thus be used to interact with the service from the host side.
+
+A note about host service lifetimes: The host service lifetime is
+meant to be bound to the service it provides, e.g. when the service
+provides data to a stage, it is meant that this data is accessible
+for exactly as long as the binary is run and all resources must be
+freed when the service is stopped.
+The idea behind this design is to ensure that no resources get
+leaked because only the host service itself is responsible for
+their clean up, independent of any control of osbuild.

+"""Introspection and validation for osbuild
+
+This module contains utilities that help to introspect parts
+that constitute the inner parts of osbuild, i.e. its stages,
+assemblers and sources. Additionally, it provides classes and
+functions to do schema validation of OSBuild manifests and
+module options.
+
+A central `Index` class can be used to obtain stage and schema
+information. For the former a `ModuleInfo` class is returned via
+`Index.get_module_info`, which contains meta-information about
+the individual stages. Schemata, obtained via `Index.get_schema`
+is represented via a `Schema` class that can in turn be used
+to validate the individual components.
+Additionally, the `Index` also provides meta information about
+the different formats and version that are supported to read
+manifest descriptions and write output data. Fir this a class
+called `FormatInfo` together with `Index.get_format_inf` and
+`Index.list_formats` is provided. A `FormatInfo` can also be
+inferred for a specific manifest description via a helper
+method called `detect_format_info`

+    #
+    # We use the linux open-file-descriptor (OFD) version of the POSIX file
+    # locking operations. They attach locks to an open file description, rather
+    # than to a process. They have clear, useful semantics.
+    # This means, we need to use the `fcntl(2)` operation with `struct flock`,
+    # which is rather unfortunate, since it varies depending on compiler
+    # arguments used for the python library, as well as depends on the host
+    # architecture, etc.
+    #
+    # The structure layout of the locking argument is:
+    #
+    #     struct flock {
+    #         short int l_type;
+    #         short int l_whence;
+    #         off_t l_start;
+    #         off_t l_len;
+    #         pid_t int l_pid;
+    #     }
+    #
+    # The possible options for `l_whence` are `SEEK_SET`, `SEEK_CUR`, and
+    # `SEEK_END`. All are provided by the `fcntl` module. Same for the possible
+    # options for `l_type`, which are `L_RDLCK`, `L_WRLCK`, and `L_UNLCK`.
+    #
+    # Depending on which architecture you run on, but also depending on whether
+    # large-file mode was enabled to compile the python library, the values of
+    # the constants as well as the sizes of `off_t` can change. What we know is
+    # that `short int` is always 16-bit on linux, and we know that `fcntl(2)`
+    # does not take a `size` parameter. Therefore, the kernel will just fetch
+    # the structure from user-space with the correct size. The python wrapper
+    # `fcntl.fcntl()` always uses a 1024-bytes buffer and thus we can just pad
+    # our argument with trailing zeros to provide a valid argument to the
+    # kernel. Note that your libc might also do automatic translation to
+    # `fcntl64(2)` and `struct flock64` (if you run on 32bit machines with
+    # large-file support enabled). Also, random architectures change trailing
+    # padding of the structure (MIPS-ABI32 adds 128-byte trailing padding,
+    # SPARC adds 16?).
+    #
+    # To avoid all this mess, we use the fact that we only care for `l_type`.
+    # Everything else is always set to 0 in all our needed locking calls.
+    # Therefore, we simply use the largest possible `struct flock` for your
+    # libc and set everything to 0. The `l_type` field is guaranteed to be
+    # 16-bit, so it will have the correct offset, alignment, and endianness
+    # without us doing anything. Downside of all this is that all our locks
+    # always affect the entire file. However, we do not need locks for specific
+    # sub-regions of a file, so we should be fine. Eventually, what we end up
+    # with passing to libc is:
+    #
+    #     struct flock {
+    #         uint16_t l_type;
+    #         uint16_t l_whence;
+    #         uint32_t pad0;
+    #         uint64_t pad1;
+    #         uint64_t pad2;
+    #         uint32_t pad3;

+"""Recursive File System Removal
+
+This module implements `rm -rf` as a python function. Its core is the
+`rmtree()` function, which takes a file-system path and then recursively
+deletes everything it finds on that path, until eventually the path entry
+itself is dropped. This is modeled around `shutil.rmtree()`.
+
+This function tries to be as thorough as possible. That is, it tries its best
+to modify permission bits and other flags to make sure directory entries can be
+removed.

+
+    This function is modeled around `shutil.rmtree()`, but extends its
