Buildroot

The Linux iso for WebTerm is built using Buildroot. If you want to build a custom iso, you can use the provided config (buildroot-config) and tweak it.

Building a custom iso

Fist you need to download Buildroot. To do that, you can just clone the Buildroot GitHub repository to your computer:

git clone https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot
cd buildroot

Then you can copy the buildroot-config file into the buildroot directory and rename it to .config

To change the settings for your image, you can use the menuconfig option of Buildroot. There you can click trough the menu and change some of the settings.

make menuconfig

Dont forget to select the Save option if you are done.

If you are done configuring your linux, you can compile it. This will take some time and disk space.

make

If the compilation is completed, you find your iso file under output/images/rootfs.iso9660. You can rename it to os.iso and put it into the images directory of WebTerm.

Tip: You can add #debug to the URL of WebTerm to display the screen of the virtual computer and get some debug information.
