# TextDrive FreeBSD Machine Image Builder

Originally forked from work I did to migrate my FreeBSD gateway box at

the TextDrive Cape Town office that does multiple PPPoE links to run

under KVM on SmartOS.

At TextDrive we built a FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p3 KVM image for running

ontop of SmartOS in my spare time as a stop-gap to migrating legacy

FreeBSD Servers over to running inside zones on SmartOS for our

Shared Hosting product.

As part of the work building the template (we use a truck load of

Chef and custom compiled packages) as well as building in FreeBSD

specific bits.

The template built provides various bits and gets data from the

meta data API (either flat files on SmartOS or from

SmartDataCenter's Metadata API).

There are various patches from 3rd parties in the community which

we leverage to get a base image going.

## Meta Data Keys

  

    Key

    Type

    Description

    Default

  

  

    builder

    boolean

    Whether we should not run finalisation scripts

    true

  

## General Notes

 * The timezone is set to UTC

 * Root ssh logins are enabled for when using a ssh private key

 * Using DHCPd on the network interfaces -- update /etc/rc.conf to do static IP

   instead (DHCP on kvm is a bit broken -- the interface sometimes reports as

   being up but does not receive the dhcpd server response).

## Post Install

### Switch out native drivers for virtio drivers

 * Download the latest drivers from http://people.freebsd.org/~kuriyama/virtio/

Requires work in the global zone to switch out the driver in the zone xml file.
