Builds ISO of an Ubuntu (/flavor) from a defaults package. This version has added support for repos hosted on packagecloud.io and multiple extra packages.
Based on ubuntu-defaults-builder by Martin Pitt.
Basic usage follows the manpage for the source package. Here's an example using the NHoS PPA and defaults settings package.
./ubuntu-defaults-image --ppa nhos/ppa --release xenial --flavor ubuntu-gnome --package nhos-default-settings
Specify a repository on packagecloud.io with --repo organisation/reponame
./ubuntu-defaults-image --repo nhos/nhos-default-settings --release xenial --flavor ubuntu-gnome --package nhos-default-settings
Specify additional PPAs with --ppa name/ppa
./ubuntu-defaults-image --repo nhos/nhos-default-settings --release xenial --flavor ubuntu-gnome --package nhos-default-settings --ppa libreoffice/ppa
Specify additional packages --xpackage packagename
./ubuntu-defaults-image --repo nhos/nhos-default-settings --release xenial --flavor ubuntu-gnome --package nhos-default-settings --ppa libreoffice/ppa --xpackage libreoffice-style-breeze
Included is the NHoS build helper build.sh
, a wrapper for ubuntu-defaults-image. You can use this script to create the NHoS ISOs for yourself. It is the same script used by Travis CI to automagically create the NHoS ISOs.
To create 64bit ISO
sudo -E BUILDARCH=amd64 ./build.sh
To create 32bit ISO
sudo -E BUILDARCH=i386 ./build.sh
The helper script build.sh
patches the live-build configuration file lb_binary_disk
to use the variable $LB_ISO_VOLUME
for .disk/info
during the finalisation of the ISO images.
You can use our Docker container to build NHoS ISOs.
docker pull nhos/ubuntu-defaults-image:latest
docker run --env BUILDARCH=amd64 --rm -it -v `pwd`:`pwd` -w `pwd` --name buildamd64 --privileged nhos/ubuntu-defaults-image /bin/bash -c "./build.sh"
docker run --env BUILDARCH=i386 --rm -it -v `pwd`:`pwd` -w `pwd` --name buildi386 --privileged nhos/ubuntu-defaults-image /bin/bash -c "./build.sh"
In the small hours of the morning Travis gets busy building NHoS ISOs for us.
