It also allows you to set a +root password, configure the network, install certain packages and execute +hooks. +.sp +But: this is \fInot\fP a replacement for a configuration management system (like +ansible, puppet, etc.). The intenion of this script is to build the initial +container to that extend that a configuration management system can take over. +.sp +As an analogy, think of debian\-installer: d\-i sets up your system to make it +ready to boot and connect to the network. Everything after that is out of scope. +Same goes for this script. +.SS Functions +.sp +This script performs the following configuration on top of a Debian based +system: +.INDENT 0.0 +.INDENT 3.5 +.INDENT 0.0 +.IP \(bu 2 +network +.IP \(bu 2 +root password +.IP \(bu 2 +apt repositories +.IP \(bu 2 +\&... +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.SS Modes +.sp +This container build script can be used under two different names: debian and +progress\-linux. +.sp +Alternative, calling it under the debconf name is equal to the debian mode. +.SS Preseeding +.sp +Hierarchy of Preseed Files: +.INDENT 0.0 +.INDENT 3.5 +.INDENT 0.0 +.IP \(bu 2 +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). +.IP \(bu 2 +The general rule of \(aqthe later preseed file overwrites the earlier\(aq 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. +.IP \(bu 2 +That means that debconf values after the include statement in the main +preseed file can overwrite any values specified in the included preseed +files. +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.SH OPTIONS +.sp +The following script options are available: +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \-n, \-\-name=\(aqNAME\(aq: +Specify container name. +.TP +.B \-p, \-\-preseed\-file=\(aqFILE\(aq: +Specify the preseed file. +.UNINDENT +.SH EXAMPLES +.sp +Build a Debian based container: +.INDENT 0.0 +.INDENT 3.5 +sudo container build \-s debian \-n debian.example.net +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.sp +Build a Progress Linux container: +.INDENT 0.0 +.INDENT 3.5 +sudo container build \-s progress\-linux \-n progress.example.net +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.SH FILES +.sp +The following files are used: +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B /etc/compute\-tools/config: +Container configuration files. +.TP +.B /usr/share/compute\-tools/build\-scripts: +Container build scripts. +.TP +.B /usr/share/doc/compute\-tools: +Container documentation. +.TP +.B /var/lib/machines: +Container directory. +.TP +.B /var/cache/container: +Container cache directory. +.TP +.B /tmp/compute\-tools: +Container temporary directory. +.UNINDENT +.SH SEE ALSO +.nf +compute\-tools(7), +container(1). +.fi +.sp +.SH HOMEPAGE +.sp +More information about compute\-tools and the Open Infrastructure project can be +found on the homepage (\fI\%https://open\-infrastructure.net\fP). +.SH CONTACT +.sp +Bug reports, feature requests, help, patches, support and everything else are +welcome on the Open Infrastructure Software Mailing List +<\fI\%software@lists.open\-infrastructure.net\fP>. +.sp +Debian specific bugs can also be reported in the Debian Bug Tracking System +(\fI\%https://bugs.debian.org\fP). +.SH AUTHORS +.sp +compute\-tools were written by Daniel Baumann +<\fI\%daniel.baumann@open\-infrastructure.net\fP> and others. +. |
