Most vm images have an expanded root partiton to make them practical to
use as-is. Some deployments may not want such a large root, putting most
storage on other volumes.
This variable was semi-deprecated ages ago so `version.txt` could follow
a similar variable naming pattern to `os-release`. Finally drop usage of
it here in favor of `$COREOS_VERSION`.
This reverts commit 39bb800f16.
This change disabled a number of features so it isn't suitable for the
generic VMware templates. We need to re-trace our steps to list exactly
what tools/systems weren't accepting the linux26 type.
Add qemu_uefi_secure target for building Secure Boot images. These are
identical to qemu_uefi images with the exception that the test keys have
been installed into the flash image, enabling Secure Boot by default. In
addition, sign the grub binary with the test keys during build when
producing unofficial images.
To aid testing things under Xen it helps to have a machine locally that
actually runs Xen! This isn't a particularly great setup but it works
well enough to simplify my own testing. Must be used with a developer
image and packages built with `USE=vm-testing` set to include the Xen
userspace tools.
Version 4 is too low. Some VMware products even crash trying to
upgrade it to a greater version (VMware Fusion 6 Pro). Having at
least 7 will allow us to use some modern features in most VMware
products, such as enabling vmxnet3 virtual network adapters or adding
much more memory and cpu cores to virtual machines.
This sets the IMG_FORCE_OEM_PACKAGE variable to the supplied string. If a
':' is present, what follows it gets put in the IMG_FORCE_OEM_USE variable
and what precedes in the former.
_get_vm_opt() has been modified to generally support forced overrides such
as this one, simply set variables named IMG_FORCE_$opt.
Now you can do things like:
for fmt in cloudstack \
digitalocean \
ec2-compat:ec2 \
ec2-compat:openstack \
ec2-compat:brightbox \
exoscale \
gce \
hyperv \
rackspace \
rackspace-onmetal; do
./image_to_vm.sh --format=qemu --oem_pkg=$fmt
../build/images/amd64-usr/latest/coreos_developer_qemu.sh -curses
done
rather than having to modify build_library/vm_image_util.sh to test oem
builds in qemu.
We have long since stopped installing anything to the /boot directory of
the root filesystem. Mount the ESP partition to /boot for consistancy
with the discoverable partition spec.
VHD was just for testing, raw is more useful for published images.
coreos-install will now be able to install working xen instances:
coreos-install -d /dev/xvda -o xen -c cloud-config.yml
