LFS

Linux from scratch seems cool af to roll your own and get a deeper understanding of what actually composes a linux system.

Note

Built using version 12.2 Not finished - currently @ 5.3. GCC-14.2.0 - Pass 1

Other things to note/read

• LFS docs at version 12.2

Run

Barebones base image from debian

Useful to just get the barebones top-of-tree image LFS is built on top of

make run-empty

# to nuke existing container
make clean=1 run-empty

Base image built to build LFS

This image has all of the install tools required to be able to install/compile/configure LFS

make run-base

# to nuke existing container
make clean=1 run-base

Run the fully built LFS system

This image has all of the install tools required to be able to install/compile/configure LFS

make run

# to nuke existing container
make clean=1 run

Build

Base

make build-base

# to add a --no-cache to start from fresh
make cache=0 build-base

Full system

Cleanup

Nuke all containers

Warning

This will nuke the containers specific to LFS (lfs-base and lfs-full)

This wipes out everything, volumes, caches, images, containers etc. on your whole SYSTEM!

make nuke
