NAME
----
container-create-curl - Create a Debian based container by downloading a tarball over the network
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)
OPTIONS
-------
The following script options are available:
*-n, --name='NAME'*::
Specify container name.
"--clean*::
Remove downloaded tarball after successfull container creation.
*--image='IMAGE'*::
Specify the image name to download, defaults to debian-stretch-${ARCHITECTURE}.tar.xz (where ${ARCHITECTURE} is the host systems architecture).
*--server='SERVER'*::
Specify the image server to download from, defaults to https://files.open-infrastructure.net/system/container/debian.
*-p, --root-password='PASSWORD'*::
Specify the root password, defaults to a random 16 character password.
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 -- --image debian-stretch-i386.tar.xz
FILES
-----
The following files are used:
*/etc/container-tools/config*::
