Description
The containerbuild command builds a container based on a script.
Scripts
The following build scripts are available:
debootstrap:
Basic script to build Debian based container, see container-build-debootstrap(1).
debconf:
Advanced script to automatically build Debian based container, see container-build-debconf(1).
default:
Symlink (if existing) to a build script which is used if no script was specified. On Debian based
system this can be managed through update-alternatives(1), i.e. 'sudo update-alternatives --config
container_build-script'.
Examples
Build example.net container using debootstrap script:
sudo container build -n example.net -s debootstrap
Build example.net container using debconf script:
sudo container build -n example.net -s debconf
Build example.net container with the default build script and start it:
sudo container build,start -n example.net
