Bootstrap¶ ↑

Builds a custom Ubuntu installation disk for Moshi, a satellite mail server.

(If you’d like to do something like this yourself, see captain.)

Prerequisites¶ ↑

You’ll need bundler:

gem install bundler

Then, use bundler to install everything else:

bundle install

(If you have mysql trouble, try gem install mysql --version 2.7 -- --with-mysql-config=`which mysql_config`.)

Usage¶ ↑

Pack rubygems for the disk image: (This is necessary for now, but won’t be once I can fix a bug in captain.)

rake rubygems

Build the disk image:

rake

Build a VMware virtual machine to run the installer:

rake vmware

Luanch the VMware virtual machine:

open vm.vmwarevm
