A build pipeline that produces HypriotOS SD card images for Raspberry Pi 1, 2, 3, 4, and Zero — a minimal Debian-based OS optimized to run Docker. It assembles root filesystem, kernel, and Docker tooling into a flashable image, built locally via Vagrant and tested with Serverspec.

Use cases

  • build a Docker-ready SD card image for Raspberry Pi
  • run Docker containers on a Raspberry Pi
  • create a minimal Debian OS image for ARM boards
  • customize HypriotOS with cloud-init user-data
  • flash a preconfigured Docker OS onto an SD card
  • set up an IoT cluster of containerized Raspberry Pis

When to choose

  • you want Docker preinstalled and tuned on a Raspberry Pi without manual setup
  • you need a reproducible, tested OS image build pipeline for ARM SBCs
  • you want a minimal Debian base with up-to-date Docker Engine on Pi hardware

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose desktop OS on the Raspberry Pi
  • you target non-Raspberry-Pi boards (use other HypriotOS builders)
  • you need actively maintained releases — the latest release is from 2022 and Raspberry Pi OS now ships Docker support
