This creates a Debian based Tinkerbell Operating System Installation Environment (OSIE).
this is a WIP and this repository will be rebased
Install the Base Debian Vagrant Box.
Run vagrant up builder --no-destroy-on-error to build the tinkerbell-debian-osie-amd64.iso file.
Run vagrant up bios to boot the generated ISO in BIOS mode.
Run vagrant up uefi to boot the generated ISO in UEFI mode.
The default user and password are osie.
To build the arm64 architecture image, set the LB_BUILD_ARCH environment variable to arm64 before launching vagrant, e.g. LB_BUILD_ARCH=arm64 vagrant up builder. To execute this image in an emulated virtual machine see the qemu arm64 emulation section.
NB Building the arm64 image takes longer than the native amd64. In my machine it takes about 40m (vs 10m for amd64).
The arm64 architecture image can be executed in an emulated virtual machine as:
# NB in my humble machine (i3-3245) emulating arm64 is very slow and it takes
# several minutes until you can login.
# NB in the qemu window use the "View" menu to switch between the
# virtio-gpu-pci and serial0 console.
