Diskimage-builder fails to build ubuntu-minimal images when run on a Ubuntu bionic-beaver (18.04) instance. The user gets "Couldn't create tempfiles for splitting up" when apt-get update is run in the ubuntu-minimal element root.d. The issue is that the /tmp inside the chroot is not getting the proper permissions applied from the base-files package. This is likely because the pip-cache element has already created the directory before the base-files package is installed. This patch changes the order of pip-cache to root.d/11-pip-cache so that it runs after teh base OS root.d elements run. Change-Id: I6fd1cb2a23422206884165eb502b260f0c1e52f7
Image building tools for OpenStack
diskimage-builder
is a flexible suite of components for
building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk
images for use with OpenStack.
This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.
For example:
$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu
will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2
image.
diskimage-builder
is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the
components of TripleO that are
responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to
build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
