The init Task for HyperContainer

You can get the binary installer of HyperContainer and HyperStart through The Hyper Page

Build from source

clone this repo, and make sure you have build-essentials installed. Go into the working copy and

> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure
> make

Then you can find hyper-initrd.img in the build directory, together with a pre-built kernel.

If you want to run hyperstart with 64-bit ARM architecture, please reconfigure with flag --with-aarch64,

> ./configure --with-aarch64
> make

If you want to get the boot disk file for VirtualBox, please reconfigure with flag --with-vbox,

> ./configure --with-vbox
> make

Then you can find hyper-vbox-bootimage.iso in the build directory. Booting from this iso will bring you to the hyper world.

Building for Intel Clear Containers

Clear Containers uses hyperstart in 'application mode', that is, not as the init process. To build hyperstart in this mode you need to pass some extra arguments to autogen.sh.

> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure --enable-daemon
