See container-images.sh +as an example on how to create your own container images. + +Options +======= + +The following script options are available: + +-n, --name='NAME': + Specify container name. + +-a, --architecture='ARCHITECTURE': + Specify container architecture. + +--clean: + Remove downloaded tarball after successfull container creation. + +-p, --root-password='PASSWORD': + Specify the root password, defaults to a random 16 character password. + +--server='SERVER': + Specify the image server to download from, defaults to + https://get.open-infrastructure.net/system/container/debian. + +--setup='SETUP': + Specify the setup image name to download, defaults to the value specified + through --system using the setup.tar.${COMPRESSION} suffix. + +--system='SYSTEM': + Specify the system image name to download, defaults to + debian-stretch-current_${ARCHITECTURE}.system.tar.${COMPRESSION} (where + ${ARCHITECTURE} is the host systems architecture and ${COMPRESSION} either + lz, xz, or gz depending on compressor availability on the host system). + +Examples +======== + +Create a Debian 9 (stretch) based container with same architecture as the host +system: + + sudo container create -s curl -n stretch.example.net + +Create a Debian 9 (stretch) based container with different architecture as the +host system: + + sudo container create -s curl -n stretch-i386.example.net -- --system debian-stretch-current_i386.system.tar.xz + +Files +===== + +The following files are used: + +/etc/compute-tools/config: + Container configuration files. + +/usr/share/compute-tools/scripts: + Container creation scripts. + +/usr/share/doc/compute-tools: + Container documentation. + +/var/lib/machines: + Container directory. + +/var/cache/container: + Container cache directory. + +See also +======== + +| compute-tools(7), +| container(1). + +Homepage +======== + +More information about compute-tools and the Open Infrastructure project can be +found on the homepage at https://open-infrastructure.net. + +Contact +======= + +Bug reports, feature requests, help, patches, support and everything else are +welcome on the Open Infrastructure Software Mailing List +<software@lists.open-infrastructure.net>. + +Debian specific bugs can also be reported in the Debian Bug Tracking System +(https://bugs.debian.org). + +Authors +======= + +compute-tools were written by Daniel Baumann +<daniel.baumann@open-infrastructure.net> and others. |
