Feature: base

Description

Features

All artifacts/images are based on the base layer which represents a minimal setup to run the OS itself. This gets achieved by debootstrapping the minbase variant. Within this feature all OS related base configurations (which still might get adjusted by other features on top of it) are performed.

Unit testing

Representing the base layer for Garden Linux requires many additional unit tests. Unit tests will ensure that kernel options are correctly defined, debsums matches, no duplicated uids or gids are present, password hash policies are defined and many more. Additional checks like rkhunter are also performed. Not all unit tests may work on all fixtures since they may require a running system (e.g. for validating the kernel options).
