R9 specific kickstarts
This branch has Rocky Linux 8 specific kickstarts. These kickstarts vary between cloud images and live images provided in our repositories and mirrors.
Building Live Images
To build live images, you will need to use livecd-creator
or
livemedia-creator
. The former is simpler to use and generally works without
many issues. The latter can be a bit more tricky to work with and typically
runs the installer virtually. However, it can be used without a virtual machine
like in a mock shell.
Using livemedia-creator
To use livemedia-creator without using virt, you can use a mock shell. To setup a mock chroot for the purpose of building a live image, you would set it up like so:
# Install mock if you haven't already
% dnf install epel-release -y
% dnf install mock -y
# Add a user to the mock group
% usermod -a -G mock user
# As the user, setup the mock environment
% mock -r rocky-9-x86_64 --init
% mock -r rocky-9-x86_64 --install lorax-lmc-novirt vim-minimal pykickstart git
# You will need to be in permissive mode temporarily
% setenforce 0
# Enter the shell
% mock -r rocky-9-x86_64 --shell --isolation=simple --enable-network
# Clone the kickstarts and run an installation
% git clone https://github.com/rocky-linux/kickstarts
% cd kickstarts
% livemedia-creator --ks Rocky-9-Workstation.ks \
--no-virt \
--resultdir /var/lmc \
--project="Rocky Linux" \
--make-iso \
--volid Rocky-Workstation-9 \
--iso-only \
--iso-name Rocky-Workstation-9-x86_64.iso \
--releasever=8 \
--nomacboot # This option is important to set, mkfs.hfsplus is not available
With the example above, all of the results will appear in
/var/lib/mock/rocky-9-x86_64/root/var/lmc
.
