Just wanted to mention it was nice to see such a down to earth posting. Unfortunately, I've never even heard of the ERP you mentioned, but you sound like a good company to work for :-)

Infor is huge in the ERP space and dates back to bigger iron days(mainframe and midrange - IBM AS/400). They acquired a lot of smaller players over the years which might be way they are somewhat unknown these days unless you date yourself to that era.

Me too. Version control is great, it should get more use outside of software.

Notable differences: E2E encryption, parallel imports (Got will light up all your cores), and a data structure that supports large files and directories.

Nice! Not sure if you're aware of Got(Game of Trees) that appears to pre-date your Got.

> It feels like containerfiles are an easier approach but they(at least docker does) sort of feel designed around describing application environments as opposed to full system environments.

They absolutely are! I actually originally just wanted a base container image for running services on my hosts that a.) I could produce a full source code listing for and b.) have full visibility over the BoM, and realized I could just ‘FROM scratch’ & pull in gentoo’s stage3 to basically achieve that. That also happens to be the first thing you do in a new gentoo chroot, and I realized that pretty much every step in the gentoo install media that you run after (installing software, building the kernel, setting up users, etc) could also be run in the container. What are containers if not “portable executable chroots” after all? My first version of this build system was literally to then copy / on the container to a mounted disk I manually formatted. Writing to disk is actually the most unnatural part of this whole setup since no one really has a good solution for doing this without using the kernel; I used to format and mount devices directly in a privileged container but now I just boot a qemu VM in an unprivileged container and do it in an initramfs since I was already building those manually too. I found while iterating on this that all of the advantages you get from Containerfiles (portability, repeatability, caching, minimal host runtime, etc) naturally translated over to the OS builder project, and since I like deploying services as containers anyways there’s a high degree of reuse going on vs needing separate tools and paradigms everywhere.

I’ll definitely write it up and post it to HN at some point, trying to compact the whole project in just that blurb felt painful.

Thanks for sharing! Definitely interested in reading further about the project.

Interesting(unnerving?) to see a number of domain registrars that offer their own DNS services utilize at least some kind of Cloudflare service for at least their own web fronts. Did a check on 6 registrar sites I currently interact with and half were down(Namecheap/Spaceship, Name, Dynadot) and up(Porkbun, Gandi, GoDaddy).
