Snowfox Build Guide ​

Requirement ​

• Platform
  • x86-64 GNU/Linux
• Hardware
  • some CPU cores (typically 4 or more)
  • 24GB RAM at least (due to the notorious gkrust)
  • 32GB RAM recommended (no need for swap space)
  • 30GB disk space (SSD recommended)
• Software
  • 7zip
  • docker
  • julia
  • sha3sum

Note: Make sure the Docker storage driver is overlay2 rather than vfs, otherwise, you better have unlimited disk space. (Check it with command docker info. Other storage drivers like btrfs or zfs have not been tested, practicality unknown.)

PS: If you have less than 24GB RAM and the build fails due to OOM killer (9 SIGKILL), try to

• increase available memory
• increase/enable swap (see also zram)
