Val Linux

Val LInux is a small, minimal Linux based Operating System with the following high level goals:

• Minimal with just enough to boot a system, login and install new software.
• CRUX style ports system for package building
• Compatible with CRUXs Pkgfile format.
• Binary based package manager.

The core system is composed of the following components:

• Kernel
• Busybox
• Dropbear
• Docker (TBD)
• finit

Building

On CRUX Linux

git clone https://github.com/vallinux/base.git
cd base
make

Note

Docker is required to build ValLinux.

Testing

For the moment you can test the resulting image.iso built by using qemu:

make test

ValLInux does a few things at boot:

• Start DHCP on eth0
• Start Dropbear

You can login remotely via an SSH client:

ssh root@a.b.c.d

The root password by default is empty (not set).

Note

Right now a couple of assumptions are made. CRUX is used as the host system for building. You have a fully working qemu setup and preconfigured br0 bridge to your LAN.
