The wonderful *ipapi.co* service can help identify the time zone of a device based on the geolocation information for its IP address. We can use this to set the `TZ` environment variable in the user session, which Firefox will respect. This has the effect of showing the correct time in e.g. Grafana dashboards, without hard-coding the time zone in the rootfs image. |

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
