Moved essential aios components to build.zsh (base layer):
- sudoers configuration (wheel group permissions)
- aigpt install (aios core package)
- aibot install (aios core package) - renamed from 'ai' to 'aibot'
Updated module responsibilities:
- build.zsh: Arch base + aios core packages (required)
- setup-user.sh: User customization only
- setup-claude.sh: Claude MCP configuration only
Benefits:
- Clear separation: base vs customization
- aigpt/aibot always included (core aios functionality)
- Modules can be optionally skipped for customization
Separated build.zsh into 3 clear parts:
1. build.zsh (Arch Linux base construction)
- archiso bootstrap
- pacstrap base system
- install base packages
- install Claude Code
2. cfg/setup-user.sh (User setup)
- Create ai user
- Configure sudoers
- Setup auto-login
- Configure zshrc and auto-start
3. cfg/setup-claude.sh (Claude/aigpt setup)
- Install aigpt
- Configure MCP
- Setup symlinks
- Initialize database
Benefits:
- Each file has a single, clear responsibility
- Easier to maintain and modify
- Can skip/customize setup steps if needed
- GitHub Actions simplified to just run build.zsh
- Check if aiosback and workspace already exist
- Stop, terminate, and remove existing images before clone
- Prevents 'File exists' error on re-installation
- Remove cfg/claude.service (claude should be run manually, not as systemd service)
- Fix bind mount: change %h to /root for proper path resolution
- Fix network: change to VirtualEthernet=no for internet access
- Update install.sh to create proper nspawn configs for all containers
- Create /root/.config/syui/ai directory in install.sh
Working flow:
- aios OS boot -> ai user login
- machinectl login workspace
- manually run 'claude' command
- Create cfg/claude.service for systemd auto-start of Claude Code
- Enable claude.service on container boot
- Update install.sh to automatically create workspace container
- Update aios.zsh to start workspace and connect when shell:true
- Add machinectl to sudoers NOPASSWD for ai user
- Workspace container starts on login, claude.service auto-runs inside
- Create cfg/aios-ctl.zsh with machinectl control commands
- aios-start/stop/shell/login for basic operations
- aios-backup to save current state to aiosback
- aios-reset to restore from backup (preserves config files)
- aios-update to update packages in backup
- Create cfg/install.sh for automated installation
- Extracts tarball to /var/lib/machines/aios
- Creates systemd-nspawn configuration
- Automatically creates initial backup image (aiosback)
- Include aios-ctl.zsh in container at /opt/aios-ctl.zsh
- Include install.sh in tarball for easy deployment
- Config files in ~/.config/syui/ai are bind-mounted and preserved across resets
- Added ID_LIKE=arch (indicates Arch Linux base)
- Added VERSION_ID and VERSION (version information)
- Added VERSION_CODENAME=rolling
- Reorganized fields in standard order
- Updated IMAGE_VERSION to 2024.11.06
Simplified aios to focus on core value:
- Pre-configured systemd-nspawn environment
- Claude Code + aigpt (MCP) pre-installed
- Shared memory across containers
Philosophy:
Don't build new tools. Use existing ones (Claude Code, systemd-nspawn).
Just provide the optimal environment and automation.
Changes:
- Added cfg/zshrc: Shell config with claude alias
- Updated build.zsh: Install Claude Code (npm) + aigpt
- Updated aios-install.sh: Simplified installation flow
- Updated README.md: Focus on simplicity and practicality
Installation:
1. npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
2. Build aigpt from source
3. Configure .zshrc with aliases
4. Set up systemd-nspawn with bind mounts
Usage:
$ sudo machinectl shell aios
$ claude # or: ai
This commit implements the new direction for aios:
- AI conversation interface replaces traditional shell
- aigpt integration for shared memory across containers
- systemd-nspawn for environment isolation
Changes:
- Added aios-install.sh: Complete installer script
- Added cfg/mcp.json: MCP server configuration for aigpt
- Added cfg/config.toml: aios configuration with permission system
- Added cfg/nspawn/aios.nspawn: systemd-nspawn configuration
- Updated build.zsh: Integrated aigpt installation and setup
- Updated README.md: Documented new architecture and philosophy
Architecture:
User → AI Chat → Commands → Execution
↓
aigpt (shared memory)
↓
systemd-nspawn (isolated environment)
Philosophy:
Simply insert AI into existing flows (shell → AI chat)
