v11.51 pinned 580.126.20 (DGX OS 7.5.0's validated combo), but build-nvidia-module.sh downloads the .run installer from download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/<version>/, a separate catalog from the CUDA apt repo checked previously. 580.126.20 404s there — same failure class as the original 550.54.15 CDN-404 incident. Checked all 580.x point releases on that CDN; only some are mirrored (580.126.09, 580.159.03/.04, 580.173.02 are 200; 580.126.16, 580.126.20, 580.167.08 are 404). Switched to 580.159.03: confirmed downloadable, confirmed present as .deb in the apt repo, and it's the exact driver version running on the real DGX Spark.

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-boottoram, 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/ CUDA13.x, the package family isdatacenter-gpu-manager-4-cuda13rather than legacydatacenter-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/.
