Can I build this OS using a ubuntu docker image?

[Axel Navarro]

1. I have start docker using: docker run -it ubuntu bash
2. I have follow the guides (git clone, apt-get install [everything], npm install) and everything is OK, but when I run npm start I'm getting the following error:

root@f393130772cf:/NodeOS/scripts# npm start

> NodeOS@1.0.0-RC2 start /NodeOS
> scripts/start

fs.js:1014
  return binding.readlink(pathModule._makeLong(path), options.encoding);
                 ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, readlink 'out/latest'

3. The only issue I found before was this:

root@f393130772cf:/NodeOS/scripts# apt-get install -y libuuid:i386

You need to exec npm run build to generate it, in the future maybe we add prebuild images for each one of the layers, we are working on this path.

I don't know why the build script is throwing this error to me:

scripts/build: line 14: cd: node_modules/nodeos-rootfs: No such file or directory

[Jesús Leganés-Combarro]

This is strange... Anyway I'm doing a full refactor fixing a lot of things and one of them is the deprecation of nodeos-rootfs, some of the changes are currently published and hope to finish them in the next days.

[Axel Navarro]

1. You have renamed this repo: https://github.com/NodeOS/nodeos-rootfs to bootfs (makes redirect). That's why I have no node_modules/nodeos-rootfs folder.
2. The bootfs does not have a script.build: "scripts/build" defined in the package.json
3. The script/build does not set the -F y -O arguments, so the bootfs fails to build.
4. When I call the bootfs with a -F argument (iso or img) I get the following error: cp: missing destination file operand after '/NodeOS/node_modules/nodeos-bootfs/build/nocona/efiboot/kernel.img'

As I told you, we are doing a full refactor and things are a bit unstable at this moment. One of the reasons of the refactor is just to have a better environment so this kind of things could not happen again in the future after we release the final 1.0.0 version.

[Jesús Leganés-Combarro]

Any update with this? The refactor was finished some weeks ago so now it should be straighforward to download the prebuild images of the layers...

debian/ubuntu's apt-get says unable to locate package libuuid. What I need to add?

[Philipp Czarnetzki]

Isnt libuuid part of util-linux? Maybe downloading this would solve your problem(?) I dont know for sure because im using Arch Linux
