So far, image generation relied on the config shipped in the openssh package to ensure root login with password, but as this might change in the future, explicitly apply and document this requirement for embedded images here instead. The exception for GCP (disable root login) should still work as intended.
The Void Linux image/live/rootfs maker and installer
This repository contains utilities for Void Linux:
-
installer (The Void Linux el-cheapo installer for x86)
-
mklive (The Void Linux live image maker for x86)
-
mkimage (The Void Linux image maker for ARM platforms)
-
mkplatformfs (The Void Linux filesystem tool to produce a rootfs for a particular platform)
-
mkrootfs (The Void Linux rootfs maker for ARM platforms)
-
mknet (Script to generate netboot tarballs for Void)
Build Dependencies
- make
Dependencies
- Compression type for the initramfs image
- liblz4 (for lz4, xz) (default)
- xbps>=0.45
- qemu-user-static binaries (for mkrootfs)
Usage
Type
$ make
and then see the usage output:
$ ./mklive.sh -h
$ ./mkrootfs.sh -h
$ ./mkimage.sh -h
Examples
Build a native live image with runit and keyboard set to 'fr':
# ./mklive.sh -k fr
Build an i686 (on x86_64) live image with some additional packages:
# ./mklive.sh -a i686 -p 'vim rtorrent'
Build an x86_64 musl live image with packages stored in a local repository:
# ./mklive.sh -a x86_64-musl -r /path/to/host/binpkgs
See the usage output for more information :-)
These scripts are in flux, if you want to build a duplicate of a production image, its not a bad idea to ping maldridge on IRC. This message will be removed when this readme is replaced with complete documentation.
