Mikhail ChusavitinandClaude Sonnet 5 d0ed1bda91 fix(iso): hash build scripts into the fast-path safety check
needs_full_build() decided the fast path was safe by hashing only config
inputs (VERSIONS, package lists, hooks, archives, auto/config, Dockerfile).
It never hashed the build logic itself, so a change to build.sh or
lib/fast-path.sh counted as a "light" file and the next build silently
reused a squashfs produced by the old code. The merged-usr /lib fix in the
previous commit only forced a full rebuild by accident (the overlay
manifest saw firmware move from lib/ to usr/lib/).

hash_heavy_config now covers every *.sh under iso/builder (build.sh, the
build-*.sh helpers, lib/*.sh) plus auto/. A change to build logic is now
as heavy as a package-list change. config/bootloaders stays excluded (the
fast path regenerates the outer ISO layer from it every time). Hash is
deterministic (LC_ALL=C sort).

ISO Build

bee ISO is built inside a Debian 12 builder container via iso/builder/build-in-container.sh.

Requirements

  • Docker Desktop or another Docker-compatible container runtime
  • Privileged containers enabled
  • Enough free disk space for builder cache, Debian live-build artifacts, NVIDIA driver cache, and CUDA userspace packages

Build On macOS

From the repository root:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh

The script defaults to linux/amd64 builder containers, so it works on:

  • Intel Mac
  • Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) via Docker Desktop's Linux VM

You do not need to pass --platform manually for normal ISO builds.

Useful Options

Build with explicit SSH keys baked into the ISO:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --authorized-keys ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Force a clean rebuild of the builder image and build caches:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --clean-build

Use a custom cache directory:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --cache-dir /path/to/cache

Notes

  • The builder image is automatically rebuilt if the local tag exists for the wrong architecture.
  • The live ISO boots with Debian live-boot toram, so the read-only medium is copied into RAM during boot and the runtime no longer depends on the original USB/BMC virtual media staying present.
  • Target systems need enough RAM for the full compressed live medium plus normal runtime overhead, or boot may fail before reaching the TUI.
  • The NVIDIA variant installs DCGM 4 packages matched to the CUDA user-mode driver major version. For driver branch 580 / CUDA 13.x, the package family is datacenter-gpu-manager-4-cuda13 rather than legacy datacenter-gpu-manager.
  • Override the container platform only if you know why:
BEE_BUILDER_PLATFORM=linux/amd64 sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh
  • The shipped ISO is still amd64.
  • Output ISO artifacts are written under dist/.
