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.

See cycle-sdk if you want the complete development environment (which makes use of the images generated here).

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
