Shrine

Shrine is a TempleOS distribution that aims to be more modern & approachable.

Shrine aims to improve upon TempleOS in several aspects:

• Approachability: Shrine ships with Lambda Shell, a more traditional Unix-like command interpreter
• Connectivity: TCP/IP stack! Internet access!
• Software access: Shrine includes a package downloader
• Versatility: unlike stock TempleOS, Shrine requires only 64MB RAM, making it feasible for cloud micro-instances and similar setups (note: this is planned, but currently not true)

Software included in Shrine:

• Mfa (minimalist file access)
• Lsh (Lambda Shell)
• Pkg (package downloader)
• Wget

Setting up with networking

• Native Stack (highly experimental)

  • configure your VM networking: Adapter Type: PCnet-PCI II (QEMU: -netdev user,id=u1 -device pcnet,netdev=u1)
  • Attached to: NAT seems to be the most reliable setting, Bridged Mode also works somewhat
  • On boot, Shrine will automatically attempt to acquire an IP address. If you don't get a message about "Configuring network", the adapter was not detected.

• To enable tunelled networking through Snail:

  • configure your VM: COM3 - TCP, server, 7777 (in VirtualBox, server = UNCHECK Connect to existing)
  • (make sure to disable networking for the VM, otherwise Native Stack will get precedence)
  • start the VM
  • run ./snail.py
  • you will now be able to access the Internet, try for example pkg-list

• To enable file access through Mfa, configure the VM as follows:

  • configure your VM: COM1 - TCP, server, 7770
  • start /Apps/Mfa.HC.Z in the VM
  • on the host, use ./mfa.py to transfer commands and files
  • for example: ./mfa.py list /Apps/Mfa.HC.Z Mfa.HC

Both of these can be used simultaneously.

Package management functions

Note: In Lsh, use pkg-install xyz in place of PkgInstall("xyz") etc.

• PkgList;

  List all packages available in the repository.

• PkgInstall(U8* package_name);

  Download & install a specific package.

• PkgInstallFromFile(U8* manifest_path);

  Manually install a downloaded package. Manifest must reference an existing .ISO.C path.

• PkgMakeFromDir(U8* manifest_path, U8* src_dir);

  Build a package from directory contents. For an example manifest, check here. Manifest must reference a valid .ISO.C path which will be used as output!

• PkgMakeFromFile(U8* manifest_path, U8* file_path);

  Build a package from a single file. See above for details.
