Dustin 878f733025 Set GUI time zone from geolocation
The wonderful *ipapi.co* service can help identify the time zone of a
device based on the geolocation information for its IP address.  We can
use this to set the `TZ` environment variable in the user session, which
Firefox will respect.  This has the effect of showing the correct time
in e.g. Grafana dashboards, without hard-coding the time zone in the
rootfs image.

Basement Hud Network-Booted OS

Customized Fedora-based operating system distributed as an immutable root filesystem image.

Building

Must run on a Fedora host or privileged container.

Build the root filesystem image:

make rootfs

This will create an _build/rootfs directory containing the root filesystem hierarchy. The _build/rootfs/boot directory contains the necessary files to boot the system:

  • efi: This directory contains the Raspberry Pi firmware files
  • initramfs.img: Early userspace image
  • vmlinuz: Kernel image
  • basementhud.squashfs: Root filesystem image

The Raspberry Pi firmware, initramfs image, and kernel image files must be served by a TFTP, while the rootfs image is served by NBD.

Build the initramfs image:

make initramfs
