Alpine lx-brand Image Builder

Build Status (shellcheck)

This is a collection of scripts used for creating an lx-brand Alpine image.

Requirements

In order to use these scripts you'll need:

  • Alpine, Ubuntu or CentOS running in a VM (required for the install script).
  • A SmartOS (or SDC headnode) install (required for the create-lx-image script)

Note that the install script will fail if run in an lx-brand enironment.

Usage

  1. Run ./install -d <chroot> -m <mirror> -i <image name> -p <proper name> -u <image docs uunder Alpine to install Alpine in a given directory. This will create a tarball of the installation in your working directory (named <image name>-<YYMMDD>.tar.gz). See ./install -h for detailed usage.
  2. Copy the tarball to a SmartOS machine or SDC headnode and run ./create-lx-image -t /full/path/to/<image name>-<YYMMDD>.tar.gz (substituting the name of your tar file). This will create the image file and manifest.
