Building VyOS
=============
This will guide you though the process of building a VyOS ISO yourself using

This will guide you though the process of building a VyOS ISO using

the vyos-build repository).

After generating the container - or fetching it pre-build from DockerHub you
are all set to invoke yourself a fresh build of a VyOS ISO.
After the container is generated either manually or fetched from DockerHub,
a fresh build of the VyOS ISO can begin.
