NodeOS on Docker

• Please first Install Docker

Quick Start

• One Liner

  sudo docker run -t -i nodeos/nodeos
  

• or learn how to make a Custom Build

Introduction

NodeOS is a Node.js based operating system, built off of the Linux kernel. The eventual goal of NodeOS is to produce images that can be run on

• hardware
• cloud providers like Joyent/Amazon/Rackspace
• local virtual machines, like VirtualBox, VMWare, and KVM
• PaaS providers like Heroku, or Joyent's Manta
• container providers, like Docker

Core development is being done in layers, facilitated by Docker.

• Layer-0 provides the boot loader and kernel (currently provided by Docker)
• Layer-1 provides the Linux shared libraries
• Layer-2 provides the Node.js binary
• Layer-3 provides the core NodeOS additions, like the init daemon and package manager
• Layer-4 is for customizing distributions

If you are hacking on NodeOS, you are likely building Layer-4 images. Layer-4 images can be build entirely from a Dockerfile, where as the other layers require more finesse.

Build from Source

Warning: the build process is hairy, it prob. won't work the first time. I'm working on that.

git clone git@github.com:NodeOS/Docker-NodeOS.git
cd Docker-NodeOS
./build
