Installation

|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Diskimage-builder is run directly out of the source repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requirements
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have 4GB of available physical RAM (As reported by
|
||
|
|
/proc/meminfo MemTotal), or more, diskimage-builder will create a tmpfs mount
|
||
|
|
to build the image in. This will improve image build time by building in RAM.
|
||
|
|
This can be disabled completely by passing --no-tmpfs to disk-image-create.
|
||
|
|
ramdisk-image-create builds a regular image and then within that does ramdisk
|
||
|
|
creation. If tmpfs is not used, you will need enough room in /tmp to store two
|
||
|
|
uncompressed cloud images. If you do have tmpfs, you will still need /tmp space
|
||
|
|
for one uncompressed cloud image and about 20% of that for working files.
