Chris, build-image is blowing up due to this line:

7z e -y deps/rpi-firmware-nonfree-master... -o"$BRCMTMP" "firmware-nonfree-master/brcm/*" > /dev/null

It's trying to extract the zip file to temporary directory $BRCMTMP, but the temp directory ends up empty. What is the purpose of the last two terms, firmware-nonfree-master/brcm/*" > /dev/null ?

This problem was fixed by changing the second "master" to "buster" in the above line. That allows the script to build, but the image still doesn't work. :(

The purpose of the last two terms is to only extract the Broadcom drivers.

OK, the image does work, after making the "buster" change. (I had a bad SD card.)

Thank you for the concise and educational post, it solved in the first pass what I had been trying to to for a couple of hours :)

Hey, Christopher. This was a pretty good and insightful article. Thanks a lot for sharing.

I am not completely sure if this was an isolated case, but for me, the `k3OS` config property had to be rewritten as `k3os` (all lowercase) in order to become effective.

ntp_servers:

I've noticed this as traefik was still enabled after the first boot.
