Installing the BLI module in the installer’s minimal EFI environment deadlocks, leading to an unresponsive black screen. We now only invoke insmod bli on real installations by detecting ISO boots via /.disk/info. This prevents the deadlock and blank screen on installer boots while ensuring BLI still loads correctly on standard boots.

Found an issue in the build for SCALE? Please report it on our Jira bugtracker.
Requirements
- Debian 10 or later (VM or Bare-Metal)
- 20GB of RAM
- At least 15GB of free disk space
In addition to the host, you will want to pre-install the following packages:
- build-essential
- debootstrap
- libjson-perl
- git
- python3-pip
- python3-venv
- squashfs-tools
- rsync
- unzip
- libarchive-tools
% sudo apt install build-essential debootstrap git python3-pip python3-venv squashfs-tools unzip libjson-perl rsync libarchive-tools
Usage
After the pre-requistes are installed, simply run "make" (as root or sudo) to perform a complete build which performs the following steps:
make checkout
Pulls in the latest target source repos from online. Re-run to update to latest sources at any time.
make packages
Builds all the *.deb packages from the checked out source repos and stages them for further stages. Re-running it will perform an incremental build, only re-building packages which have changed sources in source/.
make update
Builds the stand-alone update file, used for online/offline updating or building ISO images.
make iso
Builds the ISO image for fresh installation.
make clean
Cleans up all the temporary files and returns to original state.
Overrides
It is possible using make and environment variables to override which source repos get checked out during "make checkout" phase.
TRUENAS_BRANCH_OVERRIDE - Can be used to override all source repos at once
_OVERRIDE - Can override specific repos, I.E. debootstrap_OVERRIDE="master"
