Hassio - Raspberry Pi - Image build

Hi,

Since there is no documented way of creating pi image, could anyone help me out with this?

Thank you,
Dino

Like this?

Not quite.

I would like to be able to build *.img.gz files for raspberry pi and other platforms. Like the ones that are available for download.

Thanks.

Ahh, that sounds like you want to make a HassOS image:

# Getting started with HassOS development using Docker on GNU/Linux

First, install `docker-ce` for your distribution. I'd advise to use your distro's provided packages, since that will make sure permissions et al. are sanely set up for what you are about to run. You're also expected to have your current user properly set up in in your sudoers policy, so that this account may elevate to root and execute arbitrary commands as UID 0 (this is required, since at some point during the build process, a new loopback device-backed filesystem image will be mounted inside a Docker container - which requires a "privileged" container to run, which can only be done as root).

Next, make sure the Docker daemon is running:

```bash
$ sudo systemctl status docker
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: https://docs.docker.com
```

My desktop distro doesn't start newly installed services by default, which means I'll have to manually fire up the `docker` service:

```bash
$ sudo systemctl start docker
$ sudo systemctl --no-pager status docker -n0
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine

The whole HassIO and HassOS thing can be a little confusing, but I’ve managed to build an image using buildroot OK, it takes a while.
