It also allows you to set a root password, configure the network, install certain packages and execute hooks\&. +.sp +But: this is \fBnot\fR a replacement for a configuration management system (like ansible, puppet, etc\&.)\&. The intenion of this script is to create the initial container to that extend that a configuration managment 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\&. (FIXME) +.SS "FUNCTIONS" +.sp +This script performs the following configuration on top of a Debian based system: +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +network +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +root password +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +apt repositories +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +\&... +.RE +.SS "MODES" +.sp +This container creation 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 "INTERACTIVE/NONINTERACTIVE" +.sp +FIXME +.SS "PRESEEDING" +.sp +Hierarchy of Preseed Files +.sp +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)\&. +.sp +The general rule of \fIthe later preseed file overwrites the earlier\fR 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\&. +.sp +That means that debconf values after the include statement in the main preseed file can overwrite any values specified in the included preseed files\&. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.sp +The following script options are available: +.PP +\fB\-n, \-\-name=\fR\fB\fINAME\fR\fR +.RS 4 +Specify container name\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-p, \-\-preseed\-file=\fR\fB\fIFILE\fR\fR +.RS 4 +Specify the preseed file\&. +.RE +.SH "EXAMPLES" +.PP +\fBCreate a Debian based container:\fR +.RS 4 +sudo container create \-s debian \-n stretch\&.example\&.net +.RE +.PP +\fBCreate a Progress Linux container:\fR +.RS 4 +sudo container create \-s progress\-linux \-n cairon\-backports\&.example\&.net +.RE +.SH "FILES" +.sp +The following files are used: +.PP +\fB/etc/container\-tools/config\fR +.RS 4 +Container configuration files\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB/usr/share/container\-tools/scripts\fR +.RS 4 +Container creation scripts\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB/usr/share/doc/container\-tools\fR +.RS 4 +Container documentation\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB/var/lib/machines\fR +.RS 4 +Container directory\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB/var/cache/container\-tools\fR +.RS 4 +Container cache directory\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB/tmp/container\-tools\fR +.RS 4 +Container temporary directory\&. +.RE +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.sp +container\-tools(7), container(1)\&. +.SH "HOMEPAGE" +.sp +More information about container\-tools and the Open Infrastructure project can be found on the homepage at https://open\-infrastructure\&.net\&. +.SH "CONTACT" +.sp +Bug reports, feature requests, help, patches, support and everything else are welcome on the Open Infrastructure Software Mailing List software@lists\&.open\-infrastructure\&.net\&. +.sp +Debian specific bugs can also be reported in the Debian Bug Tracking System at https://bugs\&.debian\&.org\&. +.SH "AUTHORS" +.sp +container\-tools was written by Daniel Baumann <daniel\&.baumann@open\-infrastructure\&.net>\&. |
