SparkOS Bootable Disk Image
===========================
This package contains a compressed bootable disk image for SparkOS.
Files:
- sparkos.img.gz - Compressed ext4 filesystem image (512MB)
Quick Start:
-----------
1. Decompress the image:
gunzip sparkos.img.gz
2. Write to a USB drive (Linux):
sudo dd if=sparkos.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
sync
WARNING: Replace /dev/sdX with your actual USB drive device.
This will DESTROY all data on the target drive!
3. Or mount and inspect:
sudo mount -o loop sparkos.img /mnt
ls -la /mnt
sudo umount /mnt
Image Contents:
--------------
The image contains:
- SparkOS init system (/sbin/init)
- Basic filesystem structure (FHS compliant)
- Configuration files
To make fully bootable:
----------------------
The image needs additional components for booting:
1. Linux kernel (install to /boot/vmlinuz)
2. Busybox (install to /bin/busybox)
3. Bootloader (GRUB or syslinux)
See the full documentation at:

SparkOS Minimal Image
This is a minimal SparkOS filesystem image containing the init system.
To make this fully bootable, you need to:
1. Install a Linux kernel to /boot/vmlinuz
2. Install busybox to /bin/busybox and create symlinks
3. Install a bootloader (GRUB or syslinux)
This image can be mounted and the init binary extracted:
sudo mount -o loop sparkos.img /mnt
cp /mnt/sbin/init ./
sudo umount /mnt

# SparkOS Release Guide
This guide explains how to create and publish releases for SparkOS.
## Release Methods
SparkOS supports two ways to create releases:
1. **Automatic (Recommended)**: Push a version tag to trigger GitHub Actions
2. **Manual**: Build locally and upload to GitHub
## Method 1: Automatic Release (Recommended)
This method uses GitHub Actions to automatically build and publish releases.
### Prerequisites
- Push access to the repository
- All changes committed and pushed to `main` branch
### Steps
1. **Ensure everything is ready**
```bash
# Make sure you're on main and up to date
git checkout main
git pull origin main
# Verify the build works
make init
```
2. **Create and push a version tag**
```bash
# Create a tag (use semantic versioning: v1.0.0, v2.1.3, etc.)
git tag v1.0.0
# Push the tag to GitHub
git push origin v1.0.0
```
3. **Wait for GitHub Actions**
- Go to https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS/actions
- Two workflows will run:
- **"Build and Release"**: Creates the release ZIP
- **"Docker Build and Publish"**: Publishes Docker images
- Both should complete successfully (green checkmarks)
4. **Verify the release**
- Go to https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS/releases
- Your new release should appear with `sparkos-release.zip` attached
- Docker images are available at `ghcr.io/johndoe6345789/sparkos:v1.0.0`
### What Gets Published
When you push a version tag, GitHub Actions automatically:
- ✅ Builds the init binary (statically linked)
- ✅ Creates a release package ZIP containing:
- Compiled init binary
- Complete source code
- Build scripts and configuration
- Root filesystem structure
- Full documentation
- ✅ Creates a GitHub Release at `/releases`
- ✅ Builds multi-architecture Docker images (AMD64 + ARM64)
- ✅ Publishes Docker images to GitHub Container Registry
- ✅ Tags Docker images with version number
## Method 2: Manual Release
Use this method if you need to build releases locally without pushing tags.
### Prerequisites
- Docker installed locally
- `zip` utility installed
### Steps
1. **Build the release package using Docker**
```bash
# Build for a specific version
./scripts/docker-release.sh v1.0.0
# Or use Make
make docker-release
# The package will be created at: release/sparkos-release.zip
```
2. **Verify the package**
```bash
# Check the file was created
ls -lh release/sparkos-release.zip
# List contents
unzip -l release/sparkos-release.zip | head -40
```
3. **Create a GitHub Release manually**
- Go to https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS/releases/new
- Fill in:
- **Tag**: Create a new tag (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
- **Title**: `SparkOS v1.0.0` (or similar)
- **Description**: List changes and features
- **Upload** the `sparkos-release.zip` file
- Click **"Publish release"**
### What's Included
The Docker-based release script creates the exact same package as GitHub Actions:
- Compiled init binary (statically linked, ready to use)
- Complete source code
- Build scripts (including `docker-release.sh`)
- Configuration files
- Root filesystem structure
- Full documentation (README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING)
## Testing Before Release
Always test your changes before creating a release:
### Test the Build
```bash
# Test compilation
make clean && make init
# Verify the binary
file init
ldd init # Should show "not a dynamic executable" (static)
```
### Test with Docker
```bash
# Build the Docker image
docker build -t sparkos:test .
# Run the test environment
docker run --rm sparkos:test
# Or use Docker Compose
docker-compose up
```
### Test the Release Script
```bash
# Build a test release package
./scripts/docker-release.sh test
# Verify it was created
ls -lh release/sparkos-release.zip
```
## Release Checklist
Before creating a release:
- [ ] All changes are committed and pushed to `main`
- [ ] Build succeeds: `make init` works
- [ ] Docker build succeeds: `docker build -t sparkos:test .` works
- [ ] Documentation is up to date (README, ARCHITECTURE, etc.)
- [ ] Version follows semantic versioning (vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
- [ ] CHANGELOG or release notes are prepared (if applicable)
## Troubleshooting
### GitHub Actions Fails
1. Check the workflow logs at https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS/actions
2. Common issues:
- Build errors: Check if `make init` works locally
- Permission errors: Ensure `contents: write` permission in workflow
- Docker errors: Verify Dockerfile builds locally
### Release Not Created
- Ensure you pushed a tag starting with `v` (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
- Check that the workflow has `contents: write` permissions
- Verify the workflow completed successfully (green checkmark)
### Docker Images Not Published
- Check the "Docker Build and Publish" workflow logs
- Ensure the tag was pushed (not just created locally)
- Verify `packages: write` permission in workflow
## Version Numbering
Use semantic versioning for releases:
- **v1.0.0**: First stable release
- **v1.1.0**: New features, backward compatible
- **v1.1.1**: Bug fixes only
- **v2.0.0**: Breaking changes
## Release Artifacts
Each release includes:
1. **GitHub Release Page**
- Release notes
- Downloadable `sparkos-release.zip`
- Link to Docker images
2. **Docker Images** (automatically published)
- `ghcr.io/johndoe6345789/sparkos:v1.0.0` (specific version)
- `ghcr.io/johndoe6345789/sparkos:1.0` (minor version)
- `ghcr.io/johndoe6345789/sparkos:1` (major version)
- `ghcr.io/johndoe6345789/sparkos:latest` (if released from main)
3. **Multi-Architecture Support**
- Linux AMD64 (x86_64)
- Linux ARM64 (aarch64)
## Next Steps
After releasing:
1. Announce the release (if applicable)
2. Update documentation links to point to the new version
3. Test the release on different platforms
4. Monitor for issues and prepare patches if needed
## Support
For questions or issues with releases:
- Open an issue: https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS/issues
- Check workflow logs: https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS/actions
