How to boot?

If you didn't installed any system before, you may go back to top read the usage to learn how to install a system. If you have installed and initiated a system, you can simply just use alcove boot **/path/to/system-directory** to boot it.

Requirement

  • Rooted(Android)
  • Busybox(or toybox)

Alcove.binds

alcove.binds is a fstab-like file to bind host directory/file to NEWROOT's directory/file.

For example:

# Syntax:
#   source_dir  newroot_dir
#   Use '#' at begin of a line to comment it.

# sdcard
/sdcard  /mnt/intsd

Event-Hooks

Event-Hooks is a little daemon manager for chroot-environment. To use it you need just create new directory named alcove-hooks in NEWROOT(/alcove-hooks). There are only two events for the script which under the /alcove-hooks, start and stop.

Also it is similar to other SysvInit scripts. They are created because there are too many Linux distribution use systemd to replace init.d etc, but it cannot work on chroot-environment.

We have two good and standard examples for you, click 00-extsd and 22-sshd to see.
