       Debian  specific  bugs can also be reported in the Debian Bug Tracking System ( <https://bugs.debian.org>
       ).

Description

       The  debootstrap  container  build  script  uses  debootstrap(8) or mmdebstrap(1) to build a Debian based
       container.

       This script builds a pure Debian system with three modificiations:

          • apt cache of packages downloaded during debootstrap is cleaned

          • hostname is set (container name) in /etc/hostname

          • root password is set (user specified or 16 random characters)

Examples

       Build a Debian 13 (trixie) based container with same architecture as the host system using debootstrap:
          sudo container build -s debootstrap -n trixie.example.net

       Build a Debian 13 (trixie)  based  container  with  different  architecture  as  the  host  system  using
       mmdebstrap:
          sudo container build -s mmdebstrap -n trixie-i386.example.net -- -a i386
