-Description
-===========
-
-The debconf container creation script uses debconf(1) to automatically create a
-Debian based container.
-
-Scope
------
-
-Note that this container creation script can do a few things more than just
-automatically debootstrap based on a preseed file. It also allows you to set a
-root password, configure the network, install certain packages and execute
-hooks.
-
-But: this is *not* a replacement for a configuration management system (like
-ansible, puppet, etc.). The intenion of this script is to create the initial
-container to that extend that a configuration management system can take over.
-
-As an analogy, think of debian-installer: d-i sets up your system to make it
-ready to boot and connect to the network. Everything after that is out of scope.
-Same goes for this script.
-
-Functions
----------
-
-This script performs the following configuration on top of a Debian based
-system:
-
- * network
- * root password
- * apt repositories
- * \.\.\.
-
-Modes
------
-
-This container creation script can be used under two different names: debian and
-progress-linux.
-
-Alternative, calling it under the debconf name is equal to the debian mode.
-
-Preseeding
-----------
-
-Hierarchy of Preseed Files:
-
- * The debconf script can be fully preseeded. Such preseed files can include
- one or more preseed files themselfs (currently, only one layer of includes
- is supported, no nested or recursive includes).
-
- * The general rule of 'the later preseed file overwrites the earlier' applies.
- The debconf script reads the main preseed file (specified either on command
- line or by debconf selection/input dialog) after any included preseed files
- in there.
-
- * That means that debconf values after the include statement in the main
- preseed file can overwrite any values specified in the included preseed
- files.
-
-Options
-=======
-
-The following script options are available:
-
--n, --name='NAME':
- Specify container name.
-
--p, --preseed-file='FILE':
- Specify the preseed file.
-
-Examples
-========
-
-Create a Debian based container:
-
- sudo container create -s debian -n debian.example.net
-
-Create a Progress Linux container:
-
- sudo container create -s progress-linux -n progress.example.net
-
