CONTAINER-CREATE-CURL(1)
========================
:doctype: manpage
:man manual: Open Infrastructure

:man version: {revnumber}
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.
*-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/open-infrastructure/container*::
Container cache directory.
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.
