edpm-image-builder

A repository to build OS images for deploying EDPM bare metal nodes using diskimage-builder.

Image build elements

Images are built with elements from diskimage-builder, ironic-python-agent-builder, and the dib directory of this repository. These can be installed in a venv, for example from the edpm-image-builder directory:

python3 -m venv ./venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
export ELEMENTS_PATH=$(pwd)/dib:$(pwd)/venv/share/ironic-python-agent-builder/dib

edpm-hardened-uefi

The CentOS-9-Stream version of edpm-hardened-uefi.qcow2 can be built with master branch current-podified by running:

diskimage-builder ./images/edpm-hardened-uefi-centos-9-stream.yaml

To create a FIPS enabled image, add edpm-hardened-uefi-fips.yaml to include the fips element:

diskimage-builder ./images/edpm-hardened-uefi-centos-9-stream.yaml ./images/edpm-hardened-uefi-fips.yaml

See dib/repo-setup/README.md for environment variables to control which RDO repositories to configure.

edpm-hardened-uefi.qcow2 can be packaged inside a container image for distribution by running:

buildah bud -f ./Containerfile.image -t edpm-hardened-uefi:latest

It can then be copied out of the container image, for example into /path/to/images:

podman run --volume /path/to/images:/target:Z --rm edpm-hardened-uefi:latest

ironic-python-agent

The CentOS-9-Stream version of ironic-python-agent.initramfs and ironic-python-agent.kernel can be built with master branch current-podified by running:

diskimage-builder ./images/ironic-python-agent-centos-9-stream.yaml

Similarly, the rhel-9 version can be built with master branch current-podified by running:

diskimage-builder ./images/ironic-python-agent-rhel-9.yaml

ironic-python-agent.qcow2 can be packaged inside a container image for distribution by running:

buildah bud -f ./Containerfile.ramdisk -t ironic-python-agent:latest

It can then be copied out of the container image, for example into /path/to/images:

podman run --volume /path/to/images:/target:Z --rm ironic-python-agent:latest
