README: adjust env requirements for sandbox-less builds

Since we can now build without sandboxroot, we no longer need user
namespaces to build. Also add git and python3 to the requirements list,
but these are not new, they were already required before but just not
documented.

Monogon Monorepo

This is the main repository containing the source code for the Monogon Platform.

This is pre-release software - take a look, and check back later! In the meantime, join us on Matrix (#monogon-os-community:matrix.org) or Discord.

Environment

Our build environment is self-contained and requires only minimal host dependencies:

  • A Linux machine or VM.
  • Bazelisk >= v1.15.0 (or a working Nix environment).
  • git to check out modules.
  • python3 to generate the workspace status to stamp.
  • A reasonably recent kernel, user namespaces are recommended for performance reasons.
  • Working KVM with access to /dev/kvm (if you want to run tests).

Our docs assume that Bazelisk is available as bazel on your PATH.

Refer to SETUP.md for detailed instructions.

Monogon OS

The source code lives in //metropolis (Metropolis is the codename of Monogon OS).

See the //metropolis/README.md for a developer quick start guide, or see the Monogon OS Handbook for user documentation.
