This chapter provides information for understanding the internals of FuguIta and for doing your own development based on FuguIta.

FuguIta technical information

FuguIta is based on OpenBSD, so most of its components are openBSD-related information.
For the specific parts of FuguIta that are different from the official OpenBSD, please refer to List of published documents on the Japan Post top page of this site.
(Please note that some past materials may differ from the current FuguIta.)

FuguIta source code can be found at https://github.com/ykaw/FuguIta.

Make FuguIta a dedicated machine

FuguIta has all writable files in memory, so even if the power is suddenly turned off without performing a shutdown operation, etc., there will be no problem with the file system.
Unless you save files with usbfadm during operation, the system will start up in the same state each time.

Using these characteristics, you can create a dedicated machine (Turn Key System) to run a specific application based on FuguIta.

To build such a system, we use a combination of the techniques described so far;

These detailed procedures can be found on this site Creating a router with Fuguita - Example of making an appliance and Practically used FuguIta to use.

Build of FuguIta

Although the FuguIta is irregular, we publish the tools we use to build live systems. By using this construction tool, you can create the same thing as the FuguIta distribution.

In this section, we will explain the procedure for building the FuguIta. The following explanation assumes the following environment.

In other cases, please read the explanation as appropriate.

[Memo]
This build tool can generate ISO images for FuguIta LiveDVD on i386 and amd64 platforms, and raw disk images for FuguIta LiveUSB (LiveSD for Raspberry Pi 3/4) on arm64 platforms.

Build procedure

All operations are performed with root privileges.

Preparing the build environment

Download the FuguIta build tool tools-7.4.tar.gz and extract it.

# tar xvzpf tools-7.4.tar.gz

Move to the top directory of the build tools.

# cd tools-7.4

For arm64 platform, please also download sysmedia-7.4-arm64.img.gz, which is supplied with tools-7.4.tar.gz, and place it in the top directory of the build tool without extracting it.

Execute the following command to initialize the build tool.

 # make init

This will create the files and directories needed for the build.

Build FuguIta

Copy the installation set (*74.tgz) generated by building OpenBSD to the install_sets directory of FuguIta build tool.

# cp RELDIR/*74.tgz install_sets

RELDIR is the directory where generated release sets are stored, as described in release(8).

[Memo]
You can customize FuguIta by placing a file called site74.tgz under install_sets. This customization method complies with OpenBSD's https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#site .
If install.site is included in site74.tgz, its contents will be added to /etc/rc.firsttime.
Please note that if the file sysmedia/fuguita-7.4-amd64.ffsimg exceeds 2GB as a result of building FuguIta by adding site74.tgz, the ISO image will not be created correctly.

Copy rsync, rlwrap, and pv created from the ports tree to the install_pkgs directory.
I also install rsync and pv in the build environment itself.

# cp /usr/ports/packages/amd64/all/rsync-*.tgz install_pkgs
# cp /usr/ports/packages/amd64/all/rlwrap-*.tgz install_pkgs
# cp /usr/ports/packages/amd64/all/pv-*.tgz install_pkgs
# pkg_add -D unsigned /usr/ports/packages/amd64/all/rsync-*.tgz
# pkg_add -D unsigned /usr/ports/packages/amd64/all/pv-*.tgz

[Memo]
You can also download and use the installation set *74.tgz and package files rsync-*.tgz, etc. from the official OpenBSD mirror.
However, in this case, FuguIta created will be based on OpenBSD at the time the release was made public, so no later patches have been applied.
Also, even if you create FuguIta using this method, you need to extract the OpenBSD source code under /usr/src or /usr/xenocara.

Next, run the following command to set up the build environment.

# make setup

Finally, build FuguIta LiveDVD.

# make

Post-build adjustments

Create mode0symlinks.cpio.gz

This file is intended to save time when starting LiveDVD in mode 0 (even if this file is not present, there is no problem in starting FuguIta itself).

To create mode0symlinks.cpio.gz, boot the completed LiveDVD in mode 0 and run the gen_mode0sldir command as root with root privileges. After execution, a file called /etc/fuguita/mode0symlinks.cpio.gz will be created.

Place this file in the build tool's lib directory with the file name mode0symlinks.cpio.gz.amd64 and rerun make to create an ISO file containing mode0symlinks.cpio.gz.

Adjust fuguita_sys_mb

FuguIta has a file called /etc/fuguita/global.conf, which contains settings related to the entire system as shown below.

fuguita_sys_mb=1042  # size of sysmedia.img
newdrive_defswap=16M # default swap size at usbfadm newdrive
memfstype=mfs        # 'mfs' or 'tmpfs'
mfs_max_mb=30720     # mfs hard limit - 30GB

Among these, fuguita_sys_mb defines the size of the partition that stores the FuguIta system, and this value is used when remastering FuguIta LiveUSB.

The setting value of fuguita_sys_mb corresponds to the size of the livecd.iso file generated when building a LiveDVD, but it is safe to leave about 10MB in consideration of updates using the fiupdate utility.

# echo $(( $(wc -c < livecd.iso)/1024/1024+10 ))

Write the values displayed by this command to the lib/global.conf.amd64 file and rerun make.

LiveDVD remastering

Creating a LiveUSB according to the capacity of the USB memory created a LiveUSB image file. Describes how to create an image.

[Memo]
Since this operation deals with large size files, the size of mfs must be more than 2 gigabytes.
If mfs isn't enough, mount another recording device and work there.

This master_dvd.sh can be used with either a working FuguIta LiveDVD or FuguIta LiveUSB.
Below is an example of using remaster_dvd.sh.

First, create a working directory and copy the contents of LiveDVD/LiveUSB under sysmedia.

fugu-demo# mkdir work
fugu-demo# cd work
fugu-demo# cp -av /sysmedia .
/sysmedia -> ./sysmedia
/sysmedia/boot -> ./sysmedia/boot
/sysmedia/bsd-fi -> ./sysmedia/bsd-fi
/sysmedia/bsd-fi.mp -> ./sysmedia/bsd-fi.mp
/sysmedia/boot.catalog -> ./sysmedia/boot.catalog
/sysmedia/cdboot -> ./sysmedia/cdboot
/sysmedia/cdbr -> ./sysmedia/cdbr
/sysmedia/etc -> ./sysmedia/etc
/sysmedia/etc/boot.conf -> ./sysmedia/etc/boot.conf
/sysmedia/etc/random.seed -> ./sysmedia/etc/random.seed
/sysmedia/fuguita-6.9-amd64.ffsimg -> ./sysmedia/fuguita-6.9-amd64.ffsimg
fugu-demo# ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  432 May 11 09:21 sysmedia

Run remaster_dvd.sh inside the copied sysmedia directory. Basically that's all.

fugu-demo# cd sysmedia
