Using zram to compress pages did not provide enough memory to run Firefox, Node, and Python for an extended period of time. Here's hoping swap-on-NBD will be fast and reliable enough to work. Note that systemd's default behavior with respect to swap areas is to enable them all rather early in the boot process, before the network is fully configured. As such, we have to use the *noauto* flag to disable the default dependencies and add our own in a later target.
Basement Hud Network-Booted OS
Customized Fedora-based operating system distributed as an immutable root filesystem image.
Building
Must run on a Fedora host or privileged container.
Build the root filesystem image:
make rootfs
This will create an _build/rootfs directory containing the root filesystem
hierarchy. The _build/rootfs/boot directory contains the necessary files to
boot the system:
efi: This directory contains the Raspberry Pi firmware filesinitramfs.img: Early userspace imagevmlinuz: Kernel imagebasementhud.squashfs: Root filesystem image
The Raspberry Pi firmware, initramfs image, and kernel image files must be served by a TFTP, while the rootfs image is served by NBD.
Build the initramfs image:
make initramfs
