# Debian Atomic Desktop - Phase 1
This is Phase 1 of the Debian Atomic Desktop project, focusing on creating a minimal, bootable Debian OSTree image with automated build processes.
## Project Overview
This project aims to create a Debian-based atomic desktop distribution using `bootc`, similar to `ublue-os` but leveraging the Debian ecosystem. Phase 1 focuses on establishing the foundational build system and creating a minimal bootable image.
## Prerequisites
- `podman` or `docker` for container builds
- `just` for build automation
- `bootc` for OSTree image management (for testing)
## Quick Start
1. **Build the image:**
```bash
just build-image
```
2. **Test the image:**
```bash
just test-image
```
3. **Test with systemd (for bootc compatibility):**
```bash
just test-image-systemd
```
## Available Commands
Use `just --list` to see all available commands, or run `just help` for a summary.
### Build Commands
- `just build-image` - Build the container image with latest tag
- `just build-image-tag <tag>` - Build with a specific tag
### Testing Commands
- `just test-image` - Run the image interactively
- `just test-image-systemd` - Run with systemd support (privileged mode)
### Maintenance Commands
- `just clean` - Remove the latest image
- `just clean-all` - Remove all debian-atomic images
- `just list-images` - List all debian-atomic images
- `just inspect-image` - Show detailed image information
## Image Contents
The Phase 1 image includes:
- Debian Trixie base
- Essential system packages (systemd, dbus, sudo, etc.)
- Network management (NetworkManager)
- SSH server
- Basic utilities (curl, wget, vim, htop)
- Default user account (user/password)
## Next Steps
This is Phase 1 of the roadmap. Future phases will include:
- Phase 2: Calamares installer integration
- Phase 3: Desktop environment and kernel modules
- Phase 4: Polish and distribution
## Development
The project uses:
- `Containerfile` - Defines the container image
- `justfile` - Build automation and testing
- `roadmap.md` - Project roadmap and phases
## Contributing
This is currently in Phase 1 development. The focus is on establishing a solid foundation before adding more complex features.
