Scripts used for creating an lx-brand Alpine image

Alpine lx-brand Image Builder

(shellcheck)

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

Requirements

In order to use these scripts you'll need:

• Alpine, Ubuntu or CentOS running in a VM (required for the install script).
• A SmartOS (or SDC headnode) install (required for the create-lx-image script)

Note that the install script will fail if run in an lx-brand enironment.

Usage

1. Run ./install -d <chroot> -m <mirror> -i <image name> -p <proper name> -u <image docs uunder Alpine to install Alpine in a given directory. This will create a tarball of the installation in your working directory (named <image name>-<YYMMDD>.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 /full/path/to/<image name>-<YYMMDD>.tar.gz (substituting the name of your tar file). This will create the image file and manifest.

alpine-lx-brand-image-builder's Issues

running install to create my own image from fresh alpine linux lx zone shows error

created an alpine lx zone:

d8830f1e-3680-11e6-be72-2ba188e02d31 alpine-3 20160620 linux lx-dataset 2016-06-20

then i ran the install script from there:

./install -r 3.4 -a apk-tools-static-2.6.7-r0.apk -d /data/alpine -m http://mirrors.gigenet.com/alpinelinux/ -i alpine-3 -p "Alpine Linux" -D "Alpine 3.4.1 64-bit lx-brand image." -u https://docs.joyent.com/images/container-native-linux

but it fails w/ exit code 4 on the ===> Installing Alpine base step:

i've tried symlinking /native into /data/alpine in the script before this stage, but it didn't work.

how do i get past this?

Version 3.8?

Any ETA on when a 3.8.1+ version of Alpine Linux will be available on Joyent? I tried using https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-upgrade-alpine-linux-3-4-to-3-5-xx/ to manually upgrade 3.5 to 3.6+ but ssh stops working upon reboot.
