How to build my own image or kernel?

Preparation

x86/x64 machine running any OS; 4G ram, SSD, quad core (recommended),
VirtualBox or similar virtualization software (highly recommended),
alternatively - Docker, systemd-nspawn or other containerization software,
compilation environment is highly recommended to be Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 or Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 (other releases are not officially supported),
installed basic system, OpenSSH and Samba (optional),
superuser rights (configured sudo or root shell).

Execution

apt-get -y install git
git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib --depth 1
cp lib/compile.sh .
./compile.sh

This will download all necessary sources, execute compilation and/or build a bootable image. Most of things will be cached so next run will be extremely faster!

How to edit kernel configuration?

Edit compile.sh and set

KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes"
