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.

Features

Activity Log

You can now see what's happening when you install, start, stop, or change most system settings. This is especially important as some pre-provided pups (such as Dogecoin Core) take a long time to compile, and you can now see that things are still.. going!

Command Line Installer

There is now a bundled OS installer so you can provision a proper hard-drive with DogeboxOS (if required, such as when booting off an ISO image). See below for details.

Platform Notes

T6

An updated T6 image will come soon. We are working through issues with flashing the internal EMMC and not blowing away the bootloader. Please do not use the built-in installer to install onto the EMMC as you will brick your T6. One of us found out the hard way.

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.
