Gen 2 is go
2017-01-30 19:52:22 +00:00
Fork of `pi_gen` by [@RPI-Distro](https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen).

## Building your own
The Haspbian image is built with the same script that generates the official [Raspbian](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) image's from the [Raspberry Pi Foundation](https://www.raspberrypi.org/about/).

By default the Haspbian image is built on a Debian 8 droplet on Digital Ocean and takes about 30 minutes to build on the cheapest droplet. Dependencies and everything is handled by the build script with the exception of `git`.

Build instructions:
- Install git. `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install git`
- Clone the `rpi_gen` code. `git clone https://github.com/home-assistant/pi-gen.git`
- Create a file in the current folder named `config`. More about it's contense below.
- Run the build script, with sudo or as root. `sudo ./build.sh`
- Wait ~30 minutes for build to complete.
- Retrieve your freshly built Raspberry Pi image from the `rpi_gen\deploy` folder.

Upon execution, `build.sh` will source the file `config` in the current
working directory. This bash shell fragment is intended to set needed
environment variables.
The following environment variables are supported:

usable filesystem. This is accomplished largely through the use of
`debootstrap`, which creates a minimal filesystem suitable for use as a
base.tgz on Debian systems. This stage also configures apt settings and
installs `raspberrypi-bootloader` which is missed by debootstrap. The
minimal core is installed but not configured, and the system will not quite
boot yet.

installing system files like `/etc/fstab`, configures the bootloader, makes
the network operable, and installs packages like raspi-config. At this
stage the system should boot to a local console from which you have the
means to perform basic tasks needed to configure and install the system.
This is as minimal as a system can possibly get, and its arguably not
really usable yet in a traditional sense yet. Still, if you want minimal,
this is minimal and the rest you could reasonably do yourself as sysadmin.

There are a few tools that may not make a whole lot of sense here for
development purposes on a minimal system such as basic python and lua
packages as well as the `build-essential` package. They are lumped right
in with more essential packages presently, though they need not be with
pi-gen. These are understandable for Raspbian's target audience, but if
you were looking for something between truly minimal and Raspbian-lite,
here's where you start trimming.

- **Stage 3** - the HASSbian stage. This is where all the Home Assistant
specific packages are installed, permissions are set and users created.
This is the only stage we add to the original build script.
The original **Stage 3** and **Stage 4** are removed since they are not
used on the HASSbian image.

### Stage specification
If you wish to build up to a specified stage (such as building up to stage 2 for a lite system), place an empty file named `SKIP` in each of the `./stage` directories you wish not to include.
Then remove the `EXPORT*` files from `./stage4` (if building up to stage 2) or from `./stage2` (if building a minimal system).
```

# Example for building a lite system without Home Assistant
$ touch ./stage3/SKIP
$ rm stage3/EXPORT*
```
