# Recipes
|
|
|
|
Because Collapse OS is a meta OS that you assemble yourself on an improvised
|
|
machine of your own design, there can't really be a build script. Not a
|
|
reliable one anyways.
|
|
|
|
Because the design of post-collapse machines is hard to predict, it's hard to
|
|
write a definitive guide to it.
|
|
|
|
The approach we're taking here is a list of recipes: Walkthrough guides for
|
|
machines that were built and tried pre-collapse. With a wide enough variety of
|
|
recipes, I hope that it will be enough to cover most post-collapse cases.
|
|
|
|
That's what this folder contains: a list of recipes that uses parts supplied
|
|
by Collapse OS to run on some machines people tried.
|
|
|
|
In other words, parts often implement logic for hardware that isn't available
|
|
off the shelf, but they implement a logic that you are likely to need post
|
|
collapse. These parts, however *have* been tried on real material and they all
|
|
have a recipe describing how to build the hardware that parts have been written
|
|
for.
|
|
|
|
## Structure
|
|
|
|
Each top folder represent an architecture. In that top folder, there's a
|
|
`README.md` file presenting the architecture as well as instructions to
|
|
minimally get Collapse OS running on it. Then, in the same folder, there are
|
|
auxiliary recipes for nice stuff built around that architecture.
|
|
|
|
The structure of those recipes follow a regular pattern: pre-collapse recipe
|
|
and post-collapse recipe. That is, instructions to achieve the desired outcome
|
|
from a "modern" system, and then, instructions to achieve the same thing from a
|
|
system running Collapse OS.
|
|
|
|
Initially, those recipes will only be possible in a "modern" system, but as
|
|
tooling improve, we should be able to have recipes that we can consider
|
|
complete.
