RHEL Image Builder Role

Ansible role for building RHEL images with Image Builder.

Quick Usage Example

This role builds custom RHEL images with RHEL Image Builder. The role uses a given image blueprint from a Git repository and stores results on the build host.

To install this collection from GitHub:

ansible-galaxy collection install git+https://github.com/myllynen/rhel-image,master

Next, in a blueprint repository customize an image blueprint:

vi base-image.toml
git commit -m "Update base-image" base-image.toml
git push

Then, create a playbook to use this role:

---
- name: Build RHEL image with Image Builder
  hosts: all
  become: true
  vars:
    rhel_image_create_user: false
    rhel_image_git_remote_repo: file:///tmp/rhel-image-blueprints.git
    rhel_image_git_repo_checkout: master
    rhel_image_blueprint: base-image
    rhel_image_size_kb: 20480
    rhel_image_output_type: qcow2
    rhel_image_download_dir: /tmp/images
  roles:
    - myllynen.rhel_image.rhel_image

See roles/rhel_image/defaults/main.yml for all the supported parameters.

Finally, build the image on a build host:

ansible-playbook -i 192.168.122.123, image_builder.yml
