Welcome to the Checkbox project source code repository!

Checkbox is composed of many different parts. Each of them are stored in a different directory:

.
├── checkbox-core-snap
├── checkbox-ng
├── checkbox-snap
├── checkbox-support
├── metabox
└── providers
    ├── base
    ├── certification-client
    ├── certification-server
    ├── docker
    ├── edgex
    ├── gpgpu
    ├── iiotg
    ├── ipdt
    ├── phoronix
    ├── resource
    ├── sru
    └── tpm2

Here is a brief explanation about each part:

• checkbox-ng: the core application
• checkbox-support: Python scripts and helper modules (for instance information parsers for different Linux utilities) used by Checkbox and its providers
• providers: the main providers (base¹, resource) along with other public providers²
• checkbox-core-snap: snapcraft recipe to build the Checkbox core snap which contains the Checkbox runtime and the public providers (i.e. the checkbox[16|18|20|22] snaps in the Snap store)
• checkbox-snap: snapcraft recipe to build the Checkbox test runner (i.e. the checkbox snap in the Snap store)
• metabox: application to help test and validate Checkbox in different configurations using Linux containers or virtual machines
