container-create-curl
=====================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a Debian based container by downloading a tarball over the network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
:manual section: 1
:manual group: Open Infrastructure
Synopsis
========
| **container create -s curl** ['OPTIONS']
Description
===========
The curl container creation script uses curl(1) to download a tarball over the
network to create a Debian based container.
Depending on the tarball this script otherwise creates a pure Debian system
with three modificiations:
* hostname is set (container name) in /etc/hostname
* systemd machine-id is generated in /etc/machine-id
* root password is set (user specified or 16 random characters)
Container images
----------------
compute-tools will download tarballs from a server expecting that the images are
tarballs with either gzip, lzip, xz, or no compression. 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 (where
${COMPRESSION} is either lz, xz, or gz depending on compressor availability on
the host system).
--system='SYSTEM':
Specify the system image name to download, defaults to
debian-bullseye-current_${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 11 (bullseye) based container with same architecture as the host
system:
sudo container create -s curl -n bullseye.example.net
Create a Debian 11 (bullseye) based container with different architecture as the
host system:
sudo container create -s curl -n bullseye-i386.example.net -- --system debian-bullseye-current_i386.system.tar.xz

=====
The following files are used:
/etc/compute-tools/config:
Container configuration files.
