# 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
|
|
|
|
- **Debian Package Management**: Full APT/DPKG integration
|
|
- **OSTree Support**: Native OSTree repository management
|
|
- **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
|

## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install required packages
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv git
|
|
|
|
# Install built packages (from debs/ directory)
|
|
sudo dpkg -i debs/*.deb
|
|
sudo apt-get install -f # Fix any dependency issues
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Basic Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create a simple Debian system image
|
|
particle-os manifest.json
|
|
|
|
# Build with custom options
|
|
particle-os --cache .cache --output-dir ./outputs manifest.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example Manifest
