This file explain how to easily generate a rootfs for slapcontainer,
explaining how to generate a debian rootfs.
This can be used in order to generate any rootfs.
Requirements:
=============
Any Linux distro with the following programs installed :
* LXC userland tools (for generating the rootfs)
* debootstrap (in order to use lxc-debian script)
* dpkg (a dependency of debootstrap)
* Qemu tools (providing qemu-img)
Step by step instructions explained:
====================================
First we need to generate a raw image.
1. Run ::
$ qemu-img create -f raw image-name.raw SIZE
2. Now format it (in this example we will format in in ext4) ::
$ mkfs.ext4 image-name.raw
We will used lxc-debian script provided in lxc tools in order to
generate the rootfs.
lxc-debian is run this way ::
lxc-debian -p /path/
lxc-debian will create a subdirectory in /path/ named “rootfs”,
and a configuration file in /path/.
So in order to generate the rootfs on the raw image, create rootfs
directory and mount the raw img in it.
3. ::
$ mkdir -p /path/rootfs/
$ mount image-name.raw /path/rootfs
4. Next, run the lxc-debian script ::
$ lxc-debian -p /path/
Dont forget to change the default password, before unmount it.
5. ::
$ sudo chroot /path/rootfs/ /bin/passwd
6. ::
$ umount /path/rootfs
Next, you can archive it using sparse tar, and compress it.
7. ::
$ tar -Sc image-name.raw | pxz -T8 > image-name.tar.gz
