flatcar-packer-qemu
A basic Packer template, Makefile and ignition config file to build QEMU images and a Vagrant box for Flatcar Linux.
Installation
Verify that you have Packer installed.
$ packer -v
Verify that you have ct installed, or use the ct
target to install it to /usr/local/bin
for you:
$ sudo make ct
For all options to customize the image properties, see the Makefile variables.
Basic example using defaults (alpha release)
$ make flatcar-linux
Building the stable release
$ make flatcar-linux RELEASE=stable VERSION=1632.3.0
Building in headless mode
$ make flatcar-linux HEADLESS=true
Building in headless mode with disabled hardware acceleration (for example inside vm and without kvm support in linux kernel)
$ make flatcar-linux HEADLESS=true ACCELERATION=none BOOT_WAIT=240s
Other make targets
Delete builds:
$ make clean
Delete the packer cache (making packer download the latest iso image on next build):
$ make cache-clean
Running the Vagrant box using libvirt as provider
$ vagrant up --provider=libvirt
