Hello
I wanted to create a custom ISO of Debian, with the following
customisations:
1. I want to add a custom kernel that supports my Hardware.
2. I want to add my own Apt repo which hosts various software packages
to support my hardware.
I am not able to get any good documentation for the same. Please help.
Hi Garg,
I'm aware of three tools which could fit your needs:
- Kiwi-ng: https://osinside.github.io/kiwi/
- Elbe: https://elbe-rfs.org/
- Debos: https://github.com/go-debos/debos
I have done a small comparison of these tools on the Easterhegg this
year. You can find the recording at https://media.ccc.de/v/eh21-60-maintainable-embedded-linux-solutions and
the slides at https://github.com/tomirgang/eh21_maintainable_linux.
For creating the apt repository, you could take a look at:
- Aptly: https://www.aptly.info/
- Reprepro: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/SetupWithReprepro
If you decide to go with kiwi,
https://github.com/Elektrobit/ebcl_template/ may be worth a look.
If you decide to go with elbe,
https://github.com/Linutronix/elbe/pull/407 and https://github.com/thir820/elbe_dev_container/tree/ebcl_1.1.1_no_vm may
be interesting.
Regards,
Thomas
