# How to create a custom Clear Linux image
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the context of adding more utility to the cloudguest image being used
|
||
|
|
for integration testing, this is a quick guide on how to achieve the creation
|
||
|
|
of your own Clear Linux image using the official Clear Linux tooling.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prepare the environment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From the host, the goal is run a Clear Linux VM that will allow us to build
|
||
|
|
the custom image we want.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# Get latest CL version:
|
||
|
|
IMG_VERSION=$(curl https://download.clearlinux.org/latest)
|
||
|
|
# Get latest clear-kvm image:
|
||
|
|
wget -P $HOME/workloads/ https://download.clearlinux.org/current/clear-${IMG_VERSION}-kvm.img.xz
|
||
|
|
# Boot cloud-hypervisor VM with the downloaded image
|
||
|
|
./cloud-hypervisor -v --kernel $HOME/workloads/vmlinux --disk clear-30970-kvm.img --cmdline "console=ttyS0 console=hvc0 reboot=k panic=1 nomodules root=/dev/vda3" --cpus 1 --memory size=1G --net tap=,mac=
|
||
|
|
# Setup connectivity
|
||
|
|
IFACE=$(ip route | grep default | awk -F 'dev' '{print $2}' | awk -F ' ' '{print $1}')
|
||
|
|
GW=$(ip route | grep vmtap0 | awk -F ' ' '{print $1}')
|
||
|
|
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s ${GW} -o ${IFACE} -j MASQUERADE
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Create the image
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From the guest, we can now create the image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# Setup connectivity
|
||
|
|
sudo ip addr add 192.168.249.2/24 dev enp0s3
|
||
|
|
sudo ip route add default via 192.168.249.1
|
||
|
|
# Install necessary bundles
|
||
|
|
sudo swupd bundle-add clr-installer
|
||
|
|
sudo swupd bundle-add os-installer
|
||
|
|
# Download and update cloudguest image configuration
|
||
|
|
wget https://download.clearlinux.org/current/config/image/cloudguest.yaml
|
||
|
|
sed -i '/size: \"864M\"/d' cloudguest.yaml
|
||
|
|
sed -i 's/\"800M\"/\"2G\"/g' cloudguest.yaml
|
||
|
|
sed -i 's/systemd-networkd-autostart/sysadmin-basic,\n systemd-networkd-autostart/g' cloudguest.yaml
|
||
|
|
# Create the custom cloudguest image
|
||
|
|
clr-installer -c cloudguest.yaml
|
||
|
|
# Make the guest accessible through ssh
|
||
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /etc/ssh
|
||
|
|
sudo bash -c "echo 'PermitRootLogin yes' >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Retrieve the image
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the new image has been created and the guest is accessible through
|
||
|
|
`ssh`, it is time to retrieve the image from the host.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# Retrieve new image (this is a raw image)
|
||
|
|
scp root@192.168.249.2:cloudguest.img .
|
||
|
|
mv cloudguest.img clear-cloudguest-raw.img
|
||
|
|
# Create the QCOW image from the RAW image
|
||
|
|
qemu-img convert -p -f raw -O qcow2 clear-cloudguest-raw.img clear-cloudguest.img
|
||
|
|
# Compress the QCOW image
|
||
|
|
xz -k -T $(nproc) clear-cloudguest.img
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Switch CI to use the new image
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Upload to Azure storage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The next step is to update the image stored as part of the Azure storage
|
||
|
|
account, replacing it with the newly created image. This will make this
|
||
|
|
new image available from the integration tests.
|
||
|
|
This is usually achieved through the web interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Update integration tests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Last step is about updating the integration tests to work with this new image.
|
||
|
|
The key point is to identify the UUID of this new image so that it can be used
|
||
|
|
directly from the tests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Proceed as follow to determine this UUID:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# Mount the image
|
||
|
|
sudo mount -o loop,offset=$((2048 * 512)) clear-cloudguest-raw.img /mnt/
|
||
|
|
# Identify UUID
|
||
|
|
cat mount_dir/loader/entries/Clear-linux-kvm-*.conf | grep "root=PARTUUID="
|
||
|
|
# Unmount the image
|
||
|
|
sudo umount /mnt
|
||
|
|
```
|
