+Download a Debian based container by downloading a tarball over the network

+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **container get -s curl** ['OPTIONS']
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The curl container download 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 container tarball after successful download.
+
+-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
+========
+
+Download a Debian 11 (bullseye) based container with same architecture as the host
+system:
+
+  sudo container get -s curl -n bullseye.example.net
+
+Download a Debian 11 (bullseye) based container with different architecture as the
+host system:
+
+  sudo container get -s curl -n bullseye-i386.example.net -- --system debian-bullseye-current_i386.system.tar.xz
