Inferit MSVSphere Docker images

This project contains configuration files and tools for building official MSVSphere Docker images.

Build requirements

In order to build an MSVSphere Docker image you need an MSVSphere system with the following packages installed:

$ sudo dnf install -y anaconda-tui lorax tar

You may also need to change SELinux mode to permissive.

Usage

The build-image.sh tool must be executed from a root user shell. See it's --help for a list of supported arguments.

Here is an MSVSphere 9 default image build example:

$ sudo ./build-image.sh --release 9 --type default --output ./result

The result will be a built rootfs-tarball, a generated Dockerfile and corresponding build logs:

$ ls result/9-default/ -1
Dockerfile
logs
msvsphere-9-default.tar.xz
