Borealis DX

This repository contains a custom Universal Blue Aura DX-based distro built for testing and experimentation. It is a fork of the Universal Blue image-template for bootc container images.

• Based on Universal Blue Aurora: https://github.com/ublue-os/aurora
• Built from the Universal Blue image-template pattern for custom bootc images
• Intended for testing, development, and experimentation with the Aurora DX stack

About this repo

borealis-dx is my experimentation environment for building a custom Universal Blue Aurora DX.

This repo includes:

• Containerfile for defining the custom image build
• build_files/build.sh for install-time package additions and distro customizations
• Justfile for local build, image management, and VM workflows
• disk_config/ for optional ISO and VM image generation
• GitHub Actions workflows for building, signing, and publishing the OCI image

Getting started

1. Review Containerfile and build_files/build.sh to understand what is installed and configured.
2. Use the Justfile commands to build and test the image locally.
3. If you want to generate bootable media, update disk_config/iso.toml and run the disk build workflow.
