ExnixOS-BY-MR

This project is based on the code of eznixOS.The goal is to build ISO images for Debian and Devuan using the Calamares and Debian Installer. The project is divided into four folders: two for Devuan and Debian, each with the Calamares installer, and two with both installers.

No ISOs will be provided for download, but users can build them on their own. Follow the instructions below to get the code and build the ISOs.

Build Instructions

Getting the Code Clone the repository using the following command:

git clone https://git.acoroslinux.xyz/manuel/ExnixOS-BY-MR.git

Prerequisites

Before starting the ISO construction install the packages included in the build-tools folder

Debian

• live-build
• debootstrap

Devuan

• live-build
• debootstrap
• devuan-keyring

Project Structure

The project is structured as follows:

BldHelper.sh - Script for ISO construction for any version. bldeznix12X.sh - Necessary scripts for ISO construction. eznixOS12X/ - Contains the base code of eznixOS. build-tools/ - .deb packages that need to be installed before building.

Installing Build Tools

Navigate to the build-tools/ folder and install the .deb packages:

cd eznixOS12X/build-tools/

sudo dpkg -i *.deb && sudo apt install -f

Building the ISOs

Copy the eznixOS12X/ folder to your home directory. Copy the scripts to your home directory.

Create extra necessary folders for the build the out folder and the logs folder were the final iso and build logs will be when the build finish

mkdir -p /home/your_user/out mkdir -p /home/your_user/logs

Execute the BldHelper.sh script:

Make sure you are in the home directory

sudo ./BldHelper.sh

Now just wait for the script to complete the ISO construction.

This whas built and tested in Debian not in Devuan but i think will work perfectly in Devuan

Feal free to use this as it is and or modify the whay you want

Acknowledgments

We want to express our sincere thanks to eznix for the work done on eznixOS, which served as the basis for this project.

Note: This project is intended for advanced users familiar with ISO construction. Make sure to fully understand the process before proceeding.
