Building an image using CommunityOS requires a few custom utilities. Your image can be built on a variety of operating systems including Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian and on CommunityOS itself.

CommunityOS uses a utility written by Guy Sheffer (of OctoPi fame), CustomPiOS. It is loosely based on OctoPi code but is not identical to OctoPi itself.

CustomPiOS is a RaspberryPi device distribution builder. CustomPiOS opens an already existing image, modifies it and repackages the image ready to ship. In the case of CommunityOS, that image is the lite version of the current release of Raspbian. Instructions for the use of of CustomPiOS is not the purpose of these Wiki pages. Further information on CustomPiOS can be found on its Wiki pages.
