Audstanley-OS

Intro

This is an operating system that I’m working on for fun, and based off Linux. The real hero behind this project is v86. It is specifically based on build-root which starts at about a couple of megabytes, and is a fully stripped bare bones linux which is typically used with embedded linux devices. I’m using some interesting tools, the virtual machine is fully shipped through the browser. I’m trying to add some fun tools, and I’m working on networking the virtual machine to the internet. For now, it just runs in the browser. I added a project binary that i wrote in go, but it’s not going to work properly until I add network support which will be a fun next step in this experiment.

Purpose

I believe that build-root is what Microsoft uses for WSL - not sure about WSL2, though. Eventually, I would like to see about deploying some Kubernetes cluster nodes based on build-root. That would an amazing learning process. Initially, I was thinking that maybe offering an operating system based chat application might be pretty cool. For example, I could add irssi to the virtual machine - or maybe - a Kubernetes based Linux node could be a valuable thing to test - since build-root can be used on bare metal - embedded linux. Containers have made development in the last few years a fascinating development process. I may need to build a package manager - DevOps is cool.
