The top-level build repository for VyOS, an open-source Debian-based network operating system for routers and firewalls. It contains scripts, configuration data, and Git submodules used to compile VyOS packages and assemble the installation ISO image.

Use cases

• build a custom VyOS installation ISO
• compile VyOS from source with custom packages
• create a network router OS image for self-hosted infrastructure
• build a firewall appliance image from Debian packages
• customize VyOS with additional .deb packages embedded in the ISO
• contribute to VyOS development and build rolling release images

When to choose

• you need a custom VyOS image with your own packages or kernel
• you want to contribute code to VyOS and test your changes
• you need to build a specific VyOS release branch (LTS or rolling) yourself
• you want to embed proprietary or third-party .deb packages into a router image

When to avoid

• you just want to install and use VyOS - download a prebuilt release instead
• you need a general-purpose Linux distribution build system
• you want to configure VyOS at runtime rather than build it
• you need a lightweight container-based network appliance rather than a full OS image
