In Fedora we are running the osbuilder scripts on the client machine, to generate an initrd for the running host kernel. In this setup, there's currently a runtime dependency on gcc for compiling the nsdax tool, which is suboptimal. Add NSDAX_BIN environment variable; if specified, image-builder.sh will use that path as the nsdax tool. This let's ship a compiled nsdax tool to users and drop the runtime gcc dependency Fixes: #417 Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
Kata Containers image generation
A Kata Containers disk image is generated using the image_builder.sh script.
This uses a rootfs directory created by the rootfs-builder/rootfs.sh script.
Creating a guest OS image
To create a guest OS image run:
$ sudo ./image_builder.sh path/to/rootfs
Where path/to/rootfs is the directory populated by rootfs.sh.
Note
: If you are building an image from an Alpine rootfs, see the important note here.
Further information
For more information about usage (including how to adjust the size of the image), run:
$ ./image_builder.sh -h
