    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
