Two rBuilder Environments
rPath provides two rBuilder entities:
- rBuilder Online (rBO) (available at www.rpath.com/rbuilder) is an rPath website where users can find, develop, and share appliances and associated Conary packages in a collaborative environment. Project contents on rBO are considered public and available for anyone to access and use:
- rBuilder Online user guide | rBuilder Online Appliance-Building Tutorial
- rBuilder Appliance (rBA) is rPath's licensed rBuilder product that can be installed and run on a customer's internal network, behind a firewall. rBA provides appliance-building features while protecting licensed software and other sensitive information. The rBA web interface is similar to rBO and includes many of the same features. rBA also provides command-line interface (CLI) tools to help with further automating tasks:

Appliance Development with rBuilder
rPath recommends developing appliances with rBuilder and rMake together. rMake is a command-line tool used to build software consistently across varied developers' environments. Application to Appliance: A Hands-on Guide introduces the products and steps through rPath's recommended appliance development process.
