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 - - -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. - -*/tmp/compute-tools*:: - Container temporary 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 at https://bugs.debian.org. - - -AUTHORS -------- -compute-tools were written by Daniel Baumann <daniel.baumann@open-infrastructure.net> and others. |
