Cross Plattform FreeBSD Appliance Builder (Explorative Lab Env!)

CONFIGURE

Works best by booting an existing FreeBSD BSRV (Build Server) Image. If not possible, manual bootstrap:

1. Configure bin/.bsdconf
   • set at least BSD_STORE file path root
2. Configure Env
   • . bin/.bsdconf
   • export PATH=$PATH:appliance-builder/bin
3. cd $BSD_SBC
   • create a sbc/workstation/server hardware definition
   • easy to configure via inherences, see existing examples
   • activate all covered active profiles via .active file
4. cd $BSD_DIST
   • create a distribution set (eg. packages/software needed)
   • easy to configure via inherences, see existing examples
   • activate all covered active profiles via .active file
5. Build all packages (native, cross-plattform) for all targets
   • BSDpkg cc
   • opt: check appliance-builder/bin/action/.buildenv.sh for bootstrap toolchain
6. Build Appliance image
   • BSDbuild SBC DIST (Example: BSDbuild amd64 bsrv)
7. Write Appliance image
   • BSDwrite SBC DIST DEVICE (Example: BSDwrite amd64 bsrv da1)
