SparkOS Filesystem Disk Image
==============================
SparkOS UEFI-Bootable Disk Image
==================================
This package contains a compressed ext4 filesystem image with SparkOS.
This package contains a UEFI-bootable disk image with SparkOS.
Files:
- sparkos.img.gz - Compressed ext4 filesystem image (512MB)
- sparkos.img.gz - Compressed UEFI-bootable disk image (~1GB)
What's Included:
---------------
The image contains:
- SparkOS init system (/sbin/init)
- Basic filesystem structure (FHS compliant)
- Configuration files
✓ GPT partition table
✓ EFI System Partition (ESP) with FAT32 filesystem
✓ GRUB UEFI bootloader
✓ Linux kernel
✓ SparkOS init system
✓ Busybox utilities
✓ Basic FHS-compliant filesystem structure
Note: This is a minimal filesystem image. For full booting, you need:
- Linux kernel (install to /boot/vmlinuz)
- Busybox (install to /bin/busybox)
- Bootloader (GRUB or syslinux)
Boot Support:
------------
✓ UEFI boot (x86_64 systems)
✓ Automatic boot after 3 seconds
✓ Console on tty1
Quick Start:

1. Decompress the image:

WARNING: Replace /dev/sdX with your actual USB drive device.
This will DESTROY all data on the target drive!
3. Boot from USB:
- Insert the USB drive into a UEFI-capable system
- Enter BIOS/UEFI settings (usually F2, F12, DEL, or ESC at boot)
- Select the USB drive as boot device
- SparkOS should boot automatically

# SparkOS Disk Image Release ${{ github.ref_name }}
# SparkOS UEFI-Bootable Disk Image Release ${{ github.ref_name }}
This release includes a filesystem disk image with the SparkOS init system.
This release includes a **UEFI-bootable** disk image with SparkOS.
## What's Included
- **sparkos-image.zip**: Complete package with image and README
- **sparkos.img.gz**: Compressed ext4 filesystem image (512MB)
- **sparkos.img.gz**: Compressed UEFI-bootable disk image (~1GB)
## What This Image Contains
## Features
The disk image includes:
- ✅ SparkOS init system binary (statically linked)
- ✅ FHS-compliant filesystem structure
- ✅ Basic configuration files
**Note**: This is a minimal filesystem image. For full booting, you'll need to add:
- Linux kernel
- Busybox utilities
- Bootloader (GRUB or syslinux)
See the [documentation](https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS#creating-a-bootable-image) for details.
✅ **UEFI Boot Support** - Boot on modern UEFI systems
✅ **GPT Partition Table** - Modern partitioning scheme
✅ **GRUB Bootloader** - Reliable UEFI bootloader
✅ **Linux Kernel** - Full kernel included
✅ **SparkOS Init System** - Custom init with busybox
✅ **Ready to Boot** - Write to USB and boot immediately
## Quick Start
### Mount and Inspect
### Write to USB and Boot
```bash
# Download and decompress
wget https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS/releases/download/${{ github.ref_name }}/sparkos.img.gz
gunzip sparkos.img.gz
# Mount and inspect
sudo mount -o loop sparkos.img /mnt
ls -la /mnt
sudo umount /mnt
# Write to USB drive (Linux - BE CAREFUL!)
sudo dd if=sparkos.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
```
### Write to USB (Testing)
**⚠️ WARNING**: Replace `/dev/sdX` with your actual USB device (e.g., `/dev/sdb`). This will **ERASE ALL DATA** on the target drive!
### Boot Instructions
1. Insert the USB drive into a UEFI-capable system
2. Enter BIOS/UEFI settings (usually F2, F12, DEL, or ESC at boot)
3. Select the USB drive as boot device
4. SparkOS will boot automatically after 3 seconds
### Inspect Partitions (Advanced)
```bash
# Write to USB drive (Linux - BE CAREFUL!)
sudo dd if=sparkos.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
sudo sync
# Set up loop device
LOOP_DEV=$(sudo losetup -fP --show sparkos.img)
# Mount ESP (EFI System Partition)
sudo mount ${LOOP_DEV}p1 /mnt
ls -la /mnt/EFI # View bootloader and kernel
sudo umount /mnt
# Mount root partition
sudo mount ${LOOP_DEV}p2 /mnt
ls -la /mnt # View SparkOS filesystem
sudo umount /mnt
# Cleanup
sudo losetup -d $LOOP_DEV
```
**⚠️ WARNING**: Replace `/dev/sdX` with your actual USB device. This will erase all data on the target drive!
## Technical Details
- **Size**: ~1GB (compressed)
- **Partition Table**: GPT
- **ESP**: 200MB FAT32 (EFI System Partition)
- **Root**: ~800MB ext4
- **Bootloader**: GRUB (UEFI)
- **Kernel**: Linux kernel (from Ubuntu)
- **Init**: SparkOS custom init system
- **Shell**: Busybox
