Tools for generating appliance images on Fedora based systems including

derived distributions such as RHEL, CentOS, and others.

This project and its source files is licensed under the GPLv2

license. See the file COPYING for details.

1. APPLIANCE CREATOR DESIGN GOALS

This is a first cut of the Appliance Creation Tool (ACT), a tool to create

Appliance Images from a kickstart file. This tool uses the Live CD Creator

API as well as patches to the Image Creation API originally written by

Daniel P. Berrange  to create a multi partitioned

disk image. This Disk image can then be booted in a virtual machine such as

Xen, KVM, and VMWare. Alternatively, it can be installed onto SD cards

or usb sticks for use on arm systems such as the PandaBoard, BeagleBoard, etc.

2. CREATING AN APPLIANCE IMAGE

To create an appliance image, the appliance-creator tool is used. Super 

user privileges are needed. The tool is more or less self-documenting, 

use the --help option to see options.

Build the appliance, this used the example kickstart file included in 

the rpm others are available in the spin KickstartPool

# appliance-creator -n ThinCrust --config /usr/share/doc/appliance-tools-%{version}/aos-rawhide.ks

Run using libvirt (requires libvirt virt-manager libvirt-python python-virtinst)

# virt-image ThinCrust.xml

Installing an arm image requires installing via xzcat

# xzcat  >/dev/sdcard
