Shrine is a TempleOS distribution full of sin.

Screenshot

Shrine aims to be 99% compatible with TempleOS programs, but also to improve OS in several ways:

• Ease of use: Shrine ships with Lambda Shell, which feels a bit like a classic Unix command interpreter
• Connectivity: TCP/IP stack & internet access out of the box
• Software discovery: Shrine includes a package downloader

You can run Shrine in a virtual machine such as VirtualBox or QEMU, or on a machine compatible with standard TempleOS. Improvements in hardware support are planned and contributions are welcome.

Software included in Shrine:

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

• With a virtual AMD PCNet adapter (recommended)

  • configure your VM networking: Adapter Type: PCnet-PCI II (in 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 see a message about "Configuring network", the adapter was not detected.

• Tunelled through serial port (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

• File access through Mfa:

  • 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

Networking and Mfa can be used simultaneously.

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.
