• ✅ macOS build wrapper (build-macos.sh)
• ✅ Linux build wrapper (build-linux.sh)
• ✅ Native Alpine build (build-alpine-native.sh)
• ✅ Docker build image (Dockerfile.build)
• ✅ Dependency checker (scripts/check-dependencies.sh)

Component Build Scripts

• ✅ Backend build (scripts/build-backend.sh)
• ✅ Frontend build (scripts/build-frontend.sh)
• ✅ APK creation (scripts/create-backend-apk.sh)
• ✅ Installation script (scripts/install-archipelago.sh)
• ✅ ISO to disk converter (scripts/convert-iso-to-disk.sh)

Alpine Profile

• ✅ Custom profile (alpine-profile/mkimg.archipelago.sh)
• ✅ Systemd service (alpine-profile/overlay/etc/systemd/system/archipelago.service)
• ✅ OpenRC init script (alpine-profile/overlay/etc/init.d/archipelago)
• ✅ First boot script (alpine-profile/overlay/etc/local.d/archipelago-install.start)
• ✅ Configuration files (alpine-profile/overlay/etc/archipelago/config.toml)
• ✅ Hostname and hosts files

Documentation

• ✅ Building OS Images guide (docs/building-os-images.md)
• ✅ Quick start guide (QUICKSTART.md)
• ✅ Updated README (README.md)
• ✅ Profile documentation (alpine-profile/README.md)

🚧 Known Limitations

Alpine mkimage Integration

The build system uses Alpine's mkimage.sh which requires:

• Alpine aports repository clone
• Proper profile structure matching Alpine's expectations
• May need adjustments based on Alpine version

First Build

• First build will clone Alpine aports (large download)
• May take 30-60 minutes depending on system
• Subsequent builds are faster

Cross-Compilation

• Backend builds for host by default
• Musl target recommended for static binaries
• Install with: rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

📋 Next Steps for Testing

1. Test on macOS:

   cd image-recipe
   ./build-macos.sh
   

2. Test on Linux (HP ProDesk 400 G4 DM):

   cd image-recipe
   ./build-linux.sh
   

3. Verify Output:

   • Check results/ directory for ISO/image
   • Verify file size (should be 100MB-500MB for ISO)
   • Test in virtual machine first

4. Flash to Device:

   • Use dd to flash ISO to USB
   • Boot from USB on target device
   • Verify first boot setup works

🔧 Potential Issues and Fixes

Issue: Alpine aports clone fails

Fix: Manual clone or check network connection

Issue: mkimage.sh not found

Fix: Ensure aports repository was cloned correctly

Issue: Profile not recognized

Fix: Check profile is in aports/scripts/mkimg.archipelago/

Issue: Backend build fails

Fix: Install Rust and musl target, check dependencies

Issue: Frontend build fails

Fix: Install Node.js 18+, run npm install first
