Simple virt scripts for daily use (mostly for a developer/test engineer): - Create unattended Fedora guests using virt-install (RAW/QCOW2) - Creating JEOS(Just Enough Operating System) with Oz. - Simple guestfish script to do post install operations. Eventually try to add more cleaner scripts. NOTE: To speed up you installs, please change the value of location{1,2} to your nearest Fedora mirrors. Creating unattended guests ========================== Using virt-install ------------------ To create (this uses `virt-install`) a minimal (@core only) 10G qcow2 disk, 2 vMEM, 2 vCPU, unattended Fedora: $ git clone \ https://github.com/kashyapc/virt-scripts.git $ cd virt-scripts Assuming you want to create a Fedora 23 guest: $ ./create-guest-qcow2.bash f23-jeos f23 x86_64 Once finished, login using root (passwd: testpwd). Using Oz -------- If you want to use Oz (an automated guest install creator w/ minimal user input): Usage: ./oz-jeos.bash <guest-name> <distro> 'distro': f20, f23 Examples: oz-jeos.bash f23-jeos f23 # Create f23 Create a Fedora 23 guest: $ ./oz-jeos.bash f23-jeos f23 Once installation is finished, define the libvirt XML for the guest (in this case 'f23-jeos'): $ virsh define $libvirt-XML-FROM-PREVIOUS-COMMAND List all the guests: $ virsh list --all Start it and connect to the guest's serial console: $ virsh start f23-jeos --console Or Connect to it via virt-viewer: $ virt-viewer f23-jeos Oz notes ~~~~~~~~ Oz uses something called TDL (template descriptive language). For example: ./stdout-examples/f23/f23.tdl Contents of the above file: ------------- <template> <name>f23-jeos</name> <os> <name>Fedora</name> <version>23</version> <arch>x86_64</arch> <install type='url'> <url>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/23/Server/x86_64/os/</url> </install> <rootpw>testpwd</rootpw> </os> <description>Fedora 23</description> <disk> <size>10</size> </disk> </template> -------------- To invoke manually, dump the above contents into 'f23.tdl' in the current directory, and do: $ oz-install ./f23.tdl Root password is defined in the <rootpw> attribute of the TDL.
