Testing ISOs and the installer takes a lot of time and manual effort ... until now!
Demo:
emerge -u app-emulation/virtualbox app-emulation/packer app-emulation/vagrant git clone https://github.com/Wuodan/pentoo-packer.git cd pentoo-packer ./pentoo-packer.sh [url-to-iso] ./pentoo-packer.sh http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/pentoo/Beta/Pentoo_amd64_hardened/pentoo-amd64-hardened-2018.0_RC8_p20181023.iso vagrant up
This does everything:
If anything goes wrong, the build stops and one can inspect the running vm. Logs are in ./packer.log.
Parallel build several different VMs This demo config builds 2 different VMs in parallel. CPU and RAM are different, disk layout for the installer is from one of the sample config files in this PR: https://github.com/Wuodan/pentoo-installer/blob/config-file/config-samples/config.bios.msdos.json
JSON config files This enables the installer to use a json config file for timezone, disk layout, etc. See the samples. Fix for #34
(We could later replace the installers el-cheapo config-format with json.)
Ebuild This requires minor changes to the ebuild: json-reader, sample config-files. See https://github.com/Wuodan/gentoo-overlay/blob/master/pentoo/pentoo-installer/pentoo-installer-20180805.ebuild
Todo Unrelated to this commit - this demo only uses bios not uefi and I was not yet able to get vagrant-ssh to work, which would enable auto-things after the VM reboots.
