Community Editions

Community-maintained spins of AcreetionOS for different desktop environments, architectures, and use cases. These are built automatically each week via GitHub Actions. The normal AcreetionOS image is built from the project's main profile at gitlab.acreetionos.org/cobra3282000/acreetionos -- these editions are its community counterparts.

Autobuild Pipeline

All community editions are automatically rebuilt every Monday at 6:00 UTC via GitHub Actions. The pipeline clones the main AcreetionOS source, applies edition-specific patches, builds a bootable ISO via mkarchiso inside Docker, and uploads the finished ISO to GitHub Releases for free downloads.

  • Clones the main AcreetionOS source repository
  • Applies edition-specific patches (desktop environment, packages, configs)
  • Builds a bootable ISO via mkarchiso inside a Docker container
  • Uploads the finished ISO to GitHub Releases for free downloads
