# Ubuntu lx-brand Image Builder

This is a collection of scripts used for creating an lx-brand Ubuntu image.

## Requirements

In order to use these scripts you'll need:

- Ubuntu (or Debian) running in a VM or bare metal (required for the `install` script)
- debootstrap: `apt-get install -y debootstrap`
- git: `apt-get install -y git`
- A SmartOS (or SDC headnode) install (required for the `create-lx-image` script)

**Note***: The build scripts currently assume you are running under a KVM ubuntu-certified instance that has a secondary disk mounted to `/mnt`. The scripts have not been tested on an lx-brand instance.

## Usage

1. Run `./install -d -m -i -p -u ` under Ubuntu to install Ubuntu 14.04 in a given directory. This will create a tarball of the installation in your working directory (named `-.tar.gz`). See `./install -h` for detailed usage.
2. Copy the tarball to a SmartOS machine or SDC headnode and run `./create-lx-image -t -i -d -u ` (substituting the name of your tar file). This will create the image file and manifest. See `/create-lx-image -h` for detailed usage.
