    CypherpunkArmory/UserLAnd

    4,227View on GitHub↗

    UserLAnd is a rootless Linux mobile environment and distribution manager that allows full Linux operating systems and applications to run on mobile devices. It functions as a proot-based emulator to simulate a root filesystem and execute binaries without requiring administrative root access to the host system. The project provides a Linux desktop remote client for launching graphical desktop environments and connecting to them via a visual server client. It enables the deployment of various Linux distributions, allowing users to manage system packages using native tools like apt or pacman. T

    Build Linux is a toolset for assembling a custom Linux distribution entirely from source code, automating the process described by Linux From Scratch. It compiles every system component from upstream source, giving the builder full control over included packages and configuration. The build process relies on a Makefile-driven orchestration that coordinates the entire sequence, using script-defined package recipes for each component. It employs chroot isolation to keep build artifacts separate from the host, and follows a stage-wise bootstrapping approach that first builds a minimal set of tem

    This repository is the Armbian build framework — an embedded Linux build system for generating custom operating system images tailored to single-board computers, primarily targeting ARM and RISC-V architectures. The build process is orchestrated by GNU Makefiles and relies on a chroot-based environment to assemble the root filesystem, manage cross-compilation toolchains, and aggregate binary firmware blobs for hardware compatibility. Kernel and bootloader source trees are fetched via git, with structured patches applied in a controlled sequence, while each supported board is described by a ded

    x11docker is an OCI container GUI orchestrator and hardware bridge designed to execute graphical applications and full desktop environments inside containers. It functions as a Linux GUI sandbox, linking containerized processes to host X11 or Wayland display servers and audio systems. The project differentiates itself by providing deep system integration for hardware acceleration, including NVIDIA driver automation and GPU passthrough. It supports cross-architecture GUI emulation and provides remote access capabilities through VNC, SSH forwarding, and browser-based HTML5 rendering. The tool

    This project is a comprehensive suite of essential command-line tools and standardized Unix-like utilities. It provides the fundamental building blocks for system administration, file management, and text processing on Unix-like systems, implementing a wide range of POSIX command-line tools. The collection is distinguished by its broad coverage of low-level system operations. This includes a complete toolkit for file system management, such as creating and modifying files and directories, and a specialized text processing toolkit for filtering, sorting, and transforming data streams.

    netblue30/firejail

    7,069View on GitHub↗

    Firejail is a Linux application sandbox and kernel security wrapper that isolates untrusted applications from the host system. It uses kernel namespaces and seccomp filters to restrict filesystem access, drop kernel capabilities, and limit the system attack surface. The project is distinguished by its use of predefined security profiles to automatically apply filesystem restrictions and syscall limits based on the executable being launched. It provides specialized isolation for portable packages such as AppImages and implements X11 display isolation via proxy servers to prevent keyboard loggi

    ssh2 is a JavaScript implementation of the SSH2 protocol for Node.js, providing the core components necessary to create secure clients and servers. It enables the establishment of authenticated sessions for remote server automation and secure communication. The project distinguishes itself by providing a complete suite of tools for identity management, including utilities for generating and parsing cryptographic key pairs and integrating with external authentication agents. It also functions as a tunneling proxy capable of routing TCP, HTTP, X11, and SOCKSv5 network traffic through encrypted

    OrbStack is a native macOS application that replaces Docker Desktop, providing an all-in-one environment for running Docker containers, full Linux virtual machines, and local Kubernetes clusters. It runs Linux VMs directly on the macOS hypervisor framework for near-native performance, uses VirtioFS for fast bidirectional file sharing between macOS and Linux, and leverages Rosetta for near-native x86 emulation on Apple Silicon. The system assigns predictable local domain names to containers and VMs with automatic HTTPS certificate generation, forwards ports via event-driven updates, and stores

    This project provides a containerized development stack for WordPress, orchestrating web server and database services through a unified configuration file. It is designed to establish a consistent local environment that supports the development of custom themes and plugins by mapping local project directories directly into the container filesystem. The environment distinguishes itself by integrating a web-based database management interface as a sidecar service, allowing for the inspection and modification of site data without leaving the containerized setup. It also facilitates the migration
