Using post install_launch question

[gregelin]

Is the below duplicative for post install steps?

from vbmachine-cfg

postinstall_launch=(
    "cd postinstall && sudo bash adm_postinstall.sh adm_context_govready-rhel64.txt"
    "sudo bash postinstall/base.sh"
    "sudo bash postinstall/sudo.sh"
    "sudo bash postinstall/virtualbox.sh"
    "sudo bash postinstall/cleanup.sh"
    "sudo bash postinstall/zerodisk.sh"
)

from postinstall/adm_context_govready-rhel64.txt

# notgovready-centos-6.5-x86_64-noX-0.2.0

Checking testmachines/vbkick-templates/Centos6.5 test machine shows the validate test are failing.

Examination of vbkick testmachines_centos65_1409446047139_24869 shows that Default requiretty is not commented out in /etc/sudoers as it should be. I must have manually commented out file.

So there is a possible error in the vbkick build scripts that is failing to make changes to the /etc/sudoers file.

Running postinstall script on running vm appears to succeed.

So why isn't postinstall scripts running correctly during vbkick install process? And how do I debug it?

[gregelin]

So looking more carefully, it appears postinstall is not automatically run by build? Is that correct?

[gregelin]

OK. It is clear from looking at vbkick README and code that postinstall does not execute as part of vbkick build <vmname> command. postinstall is a separate process. From vbkick README.

Create a new vagrant box

vbkick build newVM
vbkick postinstall newVM
vbkick validate newVM
vbkick export newVM

vagrant box add newVM newVM.box
vagrant box list

[wilas]

Yes, build and posinstall are 2 separate processes. If you want execute postinstall_launch use vbkick postinstall VM_NAME.

There is of course a way to execute scripts/commands during build process (only if OS support that). I call that "injection" postinstall method. For RHEL base OSes scripts are defined in %post block in kickstart file and processed in chroot environment. For more details please read https://github.com/wilas/vbkick/blob/master/docs/POSTINSTALL.md There is as well SL6_injection_method example in examples directory.

Thanks @wilas
