LFS in VirtualBox

Description

This repository contains docker configuration to build bootable iso image with Linux From Scratch 8.2.

Status

At the moment, I don't have plans to update scripts to the latest LFS versions. However, pull requests are welcomed.

General idea is to learn Linux by building and running LFS system in isolation from the host system.

Structure

Scripts are organized in the way of following book structure whenever it makes sense. Some deviations are done to make a bootable iso image.

Build

Use the following command:

docker rm lfs                                       && \
docker build --tag lfs:8.2 .                        && \
sudo docker run -it --privileged --name lfs lfs:8.2 && \
sudo docker cp lfs:/tmp/lfs.iso .
# Ramdisk you can find here: /tmp/ramdisk.img

Please note, that extended privileges are required by docker container in order to execute some commands (e.g. mount).

Usage

Final result is bootable iso image with LFS system which, for example, can be used to load the system inside virtual machine (tested with VirtualBox).

Troubleshooting

If you have problems with master branch, please try to use stable version from the latest release with toolchain from archive.
