You can [download a live image][02] and try the software, and then install it in your PC if you want.\nYou can also customize the image starting from available scripts.\n\nOther goals of this remix are:\n* adding common extra-repos\n* supporting multimedia and office (printers and scanners)\n* Flatpak apps usage\n\n## How to build the LiveCD\n[See a detailed description][03] about how to build the live media.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e\n\u003e If `selinux` is on, disable it during the build process:\n\n```shell\n$ sudo setenforce 0\n```\n\n### Prepare the working directories\nClone the project into your `\u003csource-path\u003e` to get sources:\n\n```shell\n$ git clone https://github.com/mbugni/centos-remix.git /\u003csource-path\u003e\n```\n\nChoose or create a `\u003ctarget-path\u003e` folder where to put results.\n\n### Prepare the build container\nInstall Podman:\n\n```shell\n$ sudo dnf --assumeyes install podman\n```\n\nCreate the container for the build enviroment:\n\n```shell\n$ sudo podman build --file=/\u003csource-path\u003e/Containerfile --tag=livebuild:el9\n```\n\nInitialize the container by running an interactive shell:\n\n```shell\n$ sudo podman run --privileged --network=host -it --volume=/dev:/dev:ro \\\n--volume=/\u003csource-path\u003e:/live/source:ro --volume=/\u003ctarget-path\u003e:/live/target \\\n--name=livebuild-el9 --hostname=livebuild-el9 livebuild:el9 /usr/bin/bash\n```\n\nThe container can be reused and upgraded multiple times. See [Podman docs][06] for more details.\n\nTo enter again into the build container:\n\n```shell\n$ sudo podman start -ia livebuild-el9\n```\n\n### Build the image\nFirst, start the build container if not running:\n\n```shell\n$ sudo podman start livebuild-el9\n```\n\nChoose a variant (eg: KDE workstation with italian support) that corresponds to a profile (eg: `Workstation-it_IT`).\n\nAvailable profiles/variants are:\n* `Minimal` (console only, mainly for testing)\n* `Desktop` (minimal KDE environment with basic tools)\n* `Workstation` (KDE environment with more features like printing and scanning support)\n\nFor each variant you can append `-it_IT` to get italian localization (eg: `Desktop-it_IT`).\n\nBuild the .iso image by running the `kiwi-ng` command:\n\n```shell\n$ sudo podman exec livebuild-el9 kiwi-ng --profile=Workstation-it_IT --type=iso \\\n--shared-cache-dir=/live/target/cache system build \\\n--description=/live/source/kiwi-descriptions --target-dir=/live/target\n```\n\nThe build can take a while (30 minutes or more), it depends on your machine performances.\n\nRemove unused resources when don't need anymore:\n\n```shell\n$ sudo podman container rm --force livebuild-el9\n$ sudo podman image rm livebuild:el9\n```\n\n## Transferring the image to a bootable media\nYou can use a tool like [Ventoy][07] to build multiboot USB devices, or simply transfer the image to a single\nUSB stick using the `dd` command:\n\n```shell\n$ dd if=/\u003ctarget-path\u003e/CentOS-Remix.x86_64-\u003cversion\u003e.iso of=/dev/\u003cstickdevice\u003e\n```\n\n## Post-install tasks\nAfter installation, you can remove live system resources to save space by running:\n\n```shell\n$ source /usr/local/libexec/remix/livesys-cleanup\n```\n\nA Flatpak quick setup script is provided:\n\n```shell\n$ source /usr/local/libexec/remix/flatpak-setup\n```\n\n## ![Bandiera italiana][04] Per gli utenti italiani\nQuesto è un Remix di CentOS Stream (analogo ad un [Remix di Fedora][01]) con il supporto in italiano per lingua e tastiera. Nell'[immagine .iso][02] che si ottiene sono già installati i pacchetti e le configurazioni per il funzionamento in italiano delle varie applicazioni (come l'ambiente grafico, i repo extra etc).\n\nIl remix ha come obiettivi anche:\n* aggiunta dei repository comuni\n* supporto per applicazioni multimediali e da ufficio (stampanti e scanner)\n* utilizzo delle applicazioni Flatpak\n\n## Change Log\nAll notable changes to this project will be documented in the [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) file.\n\nThe format is based on [Keep a Changelog][05].\n\n[01]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Remix\n[02]: https://github.com/mbugni/centos-remix/releases\n[03]: https://osinside.github.io/kiwi\n[04]: http://flagpedia.net/data/flags/mini/it.png\n[05]: https://keepachangelog.com/\n[06]: https://docs.podman.io/\n[07]: https://www.ventoy.net/","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmbugni%2Fcentos-remix","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmbugni%2Fcentos-remix","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmbugni%2Fcentos-remix/lists"}
