It also allows you to set a -root password, configure the network, install certain packages and execute -hooks. - -But: this is *not* 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. - -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. - -Functions ---------- - -This script performs the following configuration on top of a Debian based -system: - - * network - * root password - * apt repositories - * \.\.\. - -Modes ------ - -This container creation script can be used under two different names: debian and -progress-linux. - -Alternative, calling it under the debconf name is equal to the debian mode. - -Preseeding ----------- - -Hierarchy of Preseed Files: - - * 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). - - * The general rule of 'the later preseed file overwrites the earlier' 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. - - * That means that debconf values after the include statement in the main - preseed file can overwrite any values specified in the included preseed - files. - -Options -======= - -The following script options are available: - --n, --name='NAME': - Specify container name. - --p, --preseed-file='FILE': - Specify the preseed file. - -Examples -======== - -Create a Debian based container: - - sudo container create -s debian -n debian.example.net - -Create a Progress Linux container: - - sudo container create -s progress-linux -n progress.example.net - -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/container: - Container cache directory. - -/tmp/compute-tools: - Container temporary directory. - -See also -======== - -| compute-tools(7), -| container(1). - -Homepage -======== - -More information about compute-tools and the Open Infrastructure project can be -found on the homepage at https://open-infrastructure.net. - -Contact -======= - -Bug reports, feature requests, help, patches, support and everything else are -welcome on the Open Infrastructure Software Mailing List -. - -Debian specific bugs can also be reported in the Debian Bug Tracking System -(https://bugs.debian.org). - -Authors -======= - -compute-tools were written by Daniel Baumann - and others. -- cgit v1.2.3
