Overview

For users who prefer containerization without the overhead or dependency on the Docker daemon, `opencortex` can be run within a standard Linux Container (LXC) or a systemd-nspawn container.

Systemd-nspawn Setup (Fastest for Linux users)

1. Create the container root:

   sudo debootstrap --arch=amd64 bookworm /var/lib/machines/opencortex

2. Start and enter the container:

   sudo systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/opencortex

3. Install dependencies (inside container):

   apt-get update && apt-get install -y sbcl curl git ripgrep libsqlite3-dev build-essential

4. Bind mount the Memex directory: Add this to your container startup or use the `–bind` flag:

   sudo systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/opencortex --bind /home/amr/.openclaw/workspace/memex

Proxmox LXC Setup

1. Create a new LXC container using the Debian 12 template.
2. Ensure the network is bridged so Emacs can reach it.
3. Run the `deploy/bare-metal/install.sh` script inside the container.
