Base Cycle OS build scripts

Cycle's OS is based on NixOS, a linux distribution with a purely functional package manager.

These scripts build .box images that can be used by vagrant, the VM manager, and ISO images that can be installed on bare metal.

Building the images

First install packer and virtualbox

Then:

packer build cycle64-template.json

The .box image is now ready to go. Install it into Vagrant via:

vagrant box add cycle64 cycle64-virtualbox.box

Running the images

To use the box with vagrant

cd /your/project/dir
vagrant init cycle64
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
