Instruction to buildmachine:

This will create a customized OS image for the Raspberry Pi based on Raspian Jessie Lite.

There are 3 "machines" you will be working with

• Build Machine = Virtual Box machine
• Build = Simulated Raspberry Pi

Requirements

• install virtualbox
  • confirmed working on v5.0.14 (check with vboxmanage --version)
• install vagrant
  • confirmed working on v1.8.1 (check with vagrant --version)

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install virtualbox
sudo apt-get install vagrant

OSX

brew install vagrant
brew cask install virtualbox

Install

To create and start the Build Machine called pirateship-buildmachine, simply:

git clone [email protected]:pirate-sh/pirateship-buildmachine.git
cd pirateship-buildmachine
./start.sh

• when done, you will be inside the Build Machine.
  • typing exit will bring you back to the Host. To get back into the Build Machine run vagrant ssh -c onboot.sh
• to create the Build image, from inside the Build Machine in the directory /vagrant run ./pirateship-image-creator --chroot
  • when done you are in the pirateship Build

Use

• If you stay inside the Build you can manually modify the image
• exit will bring you back to the Build Machine
• you will now find your Build image inside the Build Machine at /vagrant/temp or in the Host at temp

Hint:

• the git repository on the Host is mounted at /vagrant in the Build Machine
