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

• Host = Your computer
• 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)

Install

• get the code: git clone git@github.com:pirate-sh/pirateship-buildmachine.git
• change directory: cd pirateship-buildmachine
• run ./start.sh to create and start the Build Machine called `pirateship-buildmachine
  • when done, you will be inside the Build Machine. (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
