- 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
- Move MCP config to ~/.config/syui/ai/claude/ (bind-mounted)
- Create symlink ~/.config/claude -> ~/.config/syui/ai/claude
- Apply to both root and ai user
- Settings now shared across containers via bind mount
- No need to copy config files, they are automatically shared
- 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
Changed sudo configuration to allow NOPASSWD for specific commands only:
- pacman -Syu --noconfirm (system update)
- rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/db.lck (unlock pacman)
- poweroff (shutdown)
- reboot (reboot)
This is more secure than allowing all commands without password.
Added user setup:
- Username: ai
- Password: root
- Shell: zsh
- Groups: wheel (sudo enabled)
Auto-login configuration:
- getty@tty1 with --autologin ai
- .zshrc copied for both root and ai user
This provides a ready-to-use environment with AI-first user.
claude mcp add command does not support args parameter.
Changed to directly create claude_desktop_config.json with full config:
- command: aigpt
- args: ["server", "--enable-layer4"]
This ensures aigpt is properly registered with Layer 4 enabled.
Added automatic MCP registration:
- claude mcp add aigpt $(which aigpt) server
This eliminates manual MCP setup after installation.
Users can immediately use 'claude' with aigpt memory system.
cfg/os-release was not being copied, causing NAME to remain 'Arch Linux'
instead of 'aios'.
Added os-release copy to both:
- build.zsh
- .github/workflows/release.yml
archiso now creates bootstrap with systemd-nspawn standard structure:
root.x86_64/var/lib/machines/arch/ instead of root.x86_64/
Changes:
- build.zsh: Updated all arch-chroot paths to root.x86_64/var/lib/machines/arch
- build.zsh: Updated file copy paths for .zshrc, mcp.json, config.toml
- .github/workflows/release.yml: Same path updates
- Added aigpt + Claude Code installation steps to GitHub Actions
This aligns with systemd-nspawn's standard container directory structure
(/var/lib/machines/).
- 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)
