[PED-8705] Create build-xx-disk-image 'packages' #1516

Open kkaempf opened 1 month ago

kkaempf commented 1 month ago

We already have "build-*-iso-image" packages to create ISO images for the various flavors. See build-baremetal-iso-image for the baremetal flavor.

PED-8705 now asks for respective 'raw disk' images to simplify OS installation on all supported architectures.

This should be largely similar to the existing build-*-iso-image packages but run "build-disk" instead of "build-iso" when calling elemental.

Once done, we can probably drop elemental-post-build-generate-rpi-image as it's no longer needed.

Raw images can be built from the UI: https://elemental.docs.rancher.com/next/seedimage-reference#iso-and-raw-images

Example call to build-disk

anmazzotti commented 3 weeks ago

@kkaempf FYI the elemental build-disk command documentation has just been published: https://rancher.github.io/elemental-toolkit/docs/creating-derivatives/build_disk/

Not sure if that's enough (together with new elemental-operator features) to close this issue.
