Looking at those YAML files that are used to define images, there appear to be various versions and flavours of images that can be built from a single YAML file. But I haven’t figured out how choose which version and flavour to build?
So far, I’ve been building Debian 12 images. Now I want to also build other images, not only Debian 13, as well, but I have no idea about what kind of incantations I should use
Can someone please help me out?
The YAML found are found at lxc-ci/images at main · lxc/lxc-ci · GitHub
The parameters for distrobuilder for each image can be obtained by looking into the build logs at https://images.linuxcontainers.org/ (see the Build Date column and following the links). The command is found in the build.log file.
For example, for AlmaLinux 10, the parameters are:
distrobuilder --cache-dir /root/build/cache/ --timeout 7200 build-dir image.yaml rootfs -o image.serial=20250906_23:08 -o image.architecture=x86_64 -o image.release=10 -o image.variant=default -o source.variant=boot
Thank you very much! I was missing these pieces:
-o image.serial=20250906_23:08 -o image.architecture=x86_64 -o image.release=10 -o image.variant=default -o source.variant=boot
