DOGEBOX is a NixOS distribution that runs the Dogebox Runtime Environment

Caution

Warning

Dogebox is currently in beta (heavy testing). Do not use it for any production workloads, and definitely don't send any money to addresses generated by it unless you have ensured key backups.

This release contains an ISO image for both x86_64 and aarch64 that should allow booting on most platforms.

Things to note / What does not work

ISO

  • The ISO is set to be UEFI-only compatible, thus any machine/vm that only supports BIOS bootloader will not work.

  • You must install DogeboxOS to a separate harddrive first before configuring, as mounting/booting from most ISO images will result in a read-only root filesystem, which will not work.

Installing DogeboxOS to a hard drive

Caution

Warning

Installing DogeboxOS onto a separate harddrive will destroy the existing partition table on the selected disk, and you will lose all your information.

  • Once booted, run dbx get-disks to list available targets. Find the disk you want install to.
  • Run sudo _dbxroot install-to-disk --disk /dev/disk --dbx-secret yes-i-will-destroy-everything-on-this-disk. Replace /dev/disk with your selected disk.
  • Wait until installation has finished.
  • Power off your machine.
  • Remove/unmount the installation media
  • Power back up and run through normal Dogebox setup.
