This is currently a Work In Progress. The goal is to demonstrate the viability of a self-hosting distribution built with a package manager written in Lua.
You will need Buildah and Podman.
# Set up the builder image
./container_build.sh
# Run it
./container_run.sh
The following steps have to be done inside the Docker container:
# Do the full-source bootstrap
lua stage1.lua
lua stage2.lua
lua stage3.lua
lua stage4.lua
You will need QEMU.
# Go inside the `neld` folder
cd neld
# Build the ramdisk
./build_ramdisk.sh
# Build the disk
sudo ./build_disk.sh
# Run the result in a VM
sudo ./run.sh
