Michael Vogt 083c220f0a test: move to centos-9 for the smoke test
This commit moves the smoke test from fedora-41 to centos-9. The
reason is that it seems the fedora mirrors in general are a bit
more flaky so /hopefully/ the centos one will help.

The real fix of course is to retry different mirrors on failure,
we will need to look into librepo integration in osbuild (again)
for this (hopefully soon!).

image-builder CLI

Build images from the commandline in a convenient way.

Run via container

$ sudo podman run --privileged \
   -v ./output:/output \
   ghcr.io/osbuild/image-builder-cli:latest \
   build \
   --distro fedora-41 \
   minimal-raw

Installation

This project is under development right now and needs to be run via:

$ go run github.com/osbuild/image-builder-cli/cmd/image-builder@main

or install it into $GOPATH/bin

$ go install github.com/osbuild/image-builder-cli/cmd/image-builder@main

we plan to provide rpm packages as well.

Prerequisites

Make sure to have the required osbuild rpms installed:

$ sudo dnf install osbuild osbuild-depsolve-dnf osbuild-composer

(osbuild-composer is only needed to get the repository definitions and this dependency will go away soon).

Examples

To see the list of buildable images run:

$ image-builder list-images
...
centos-9 type:qcow2 arch:x86_64
...
rhel-10.0 type:ami arch:x86_64
...

To actually build an image run:

$ sudo image-builder build qcow2 --distro centos-9
...

this will create a directory centos-9-qcow2-x86_64 under which the output is stored.

It is possible to filter:

$ image-builder list-images --filter ami
...
centos-9 type:ami arch:x86_64
...
rhel-8.5 type:ami arch:aarch64
...
rhel-10.0 type:ami arch:aarch64

or be more specific

$ image-builder list-images --filter "arch:x86*" --filter "distro:*centos*"
centos-9 type:ami arch:x86_64
...
centos-9 type:qcow2 arch:x86_64
...

The following filters are currently supported, shell-style globbing is supported:

  • distro: the distro name (e.g. fedora-41)
  • arch: the architecture name (e.g. x86_64)
  • type: the image type name (e.g. qcow2)
  • bootmode: the bootmode (legacy, uefi, hybrid)

The output can also be switched, supported are "text", "json":

$ image-builder list-images --output=json
[
  {
    "distro": {
      "name": "centos-9"
    },
    "arch": {
      "name": "aarch64"
    },
    "image_type": {
      "name": "ami"
    }
  },
...
  {
    "distro": {
      "name": "rhel-10.0"
    },
    "arch": {
      "name": "x86_64"
    },
    "image_type": {
      "name": "wsl"
    }
  }
]

FAQ

Q: Does this require a backend. A: The osbuild binary is used to actually build the images but beyond that no setup is required, i.e. no daemons like osbuild-composer.
