# Bulid Container Installer Action
This action is used to generate an ISO for installing OSTrees stored in a container. This utilizes the anaconda command `ostreecontainer`
## Makefile
A Makefile is provided for ease of use. There are separate targets for each file generated, however `make` can be used to generate the final image and `make clean` can be used to clean up the workspace. The resulting ISO will be stored in the `build` directory.
See [Customizing](#customizing) for information about customizing the image that gets created.
## Container
A container with the necessary tools already installed is provided at `ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest`
To use the container file, run `docker run --privileged --volume .:/build-container-installer/build ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest`.
This will create an ISO with the baked in defaults of the container image.
See [Customizing](#customizing) for information about customizing the image that gets created. The variable can either be defined as environment variables or as command arguments.
Examples:
Building an ISO to install Fedora 38
```bash
docker run --rm --privileged --volume .:/build-container-installer/build -e VERSION=38 -e IMAGE_NAME=base -e IMAGE_TAG=38 -e VARIANT=Server ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest
```
Building an ISO to install Fedora 39
```bash
docker run --rm --privileged --volume .:/build-container-installer/build -e VERSION=39 -e IMAGE_NAME=base -e IMAGE_TAG=39 -e VARIANT=Server ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest
```
## Customizing
The following variables can be used to customize the create image.
| Variable | Description | Default Value |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| ARCH | Architecture for image to build | x86_64 |
| VERSION | Fedora version of installer to build | 39 |
| IMAGE_REPO | Repository containing the source container image | quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops |
| IMAGE_NAME | Name of the source container image | base |
| IMAGE_TAG | Tag of the source container image | *VERSION* |
| EXTRA_BOOT_PARAMS | Extra params used by grub to boot the anaconda installer | \[empty\] |
| VARIANT | Source container variant\* | Server |
| WEB_UI | Enable Anaconda WebUI (experimental) | false |
Available options for VARIANT can be found by running `dnf provides system-release`.
Variant will be the third item in the package name. Example: `fedora-release-kinoite-39-34.noarch` will be kinoite
## VSCode Dev Container
There is a dev container configuration provided for development. By default it will use the existing container image available at `ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest`, however, you can have it build a new image by editing `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` and replacing `image` with `build`. `Ctrl+/` can be used to comment and uncomment blocks of code within VSCode.
The code from VSCode will be available at `/workspaces/build-container-installer` once the container has started.
Privileged is required for access to loop devices for lorax.
Use existing image
```json
{
"name": "Existing Dockerfile",
// "build": {
// "context": "..",
// "dockerfile": "../Dockerfile",
// "args": {
// "version": "39"
// }
// },
"image": "ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest",
"overrideCommand": true,
"shutdownAction": "stopContainer",
"privileged": true
}
```
Build a new image
```json
{
"name": "Existing Dockerfile",
"build": {
"context": "..",
"dockerfile": "../Dockerfile",
"args": {
"version": "39"
}
},
//"image": "ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest",
"overrideCommand": true,
"shutdownAction": "stopContainer",
"privileged": true
}
```
