This is not currently used. Drop it for now, until we use it, and when we do, it should be reintroduced with the right name, to avoid clashing with osbuild-composer (they are owned by different users, so cannot be shared). Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> |

osbuild-composer
An HTTP service for building bootable OS images. It provides the same API as lorax-composer but in the background it uses osbuild to create the images.
You can control it in Cockpit or using the composer-cli. To get started on Fedora, run:
# dnf install cockpit-composer golang-github-osbuild-composer composer-cli
# systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket
# systemctl enable --now osbuild-composer.socket
Now you can access the service using composer-cli, for example:
composer-cli status show
or using a browser: http://localhost:9090
API documentation
Please refer to the lorax-composer's documenation as osbuild-composer is a drop-in replacement.
High-level overview
Frontends
osbuild-composer is meant to be used with 2 different front-ends. The primary one, which is meant for general use, is cockpit-composer. It is part of the Cockpit project and unless you have a strong reason not to use it, you should use it. composer-cli is a command line tool that can be used with osbuild-composer.
Compose
- Compose is what the user submits over one of the frontends
- It contains of one or more image builds
- It contains zero or more upload actions
Image build
- The resulting image has a type: https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-composer/blob/master/internal/distro/fedora30/distro.go#L19
- Running build in osbuild-composer is referred to as a "job" (internal terminology, not related to end-user experience)
Job
- What composer submits to a worker
- Is a unit of work performed by
osbuild(internally it is a single execution ofosbuild) - Consists of one image build and zero or more Upload actions
Image type
- In the cockpit-composer, for examples these are image types:
- Openstack
- Azure
- AWS
- As of now, we name them internally by their file format: vhd, ami, etc.
- You can see a list of types by executing:
composer-cli compose types
Upload action
- Each image can be, but does not have to be, uploaded to a remote location
- One image can be uploaded to multiple locations
