vm-sdk is simple distro build system aimed at creating Vagrant boxes and other virtual machines.
vm-sdk is designed to be used interactively from a terminal. It requires the following packages to be installed in addition to the dependencies required for libdevuansdk.
sudo permissions are required for the user that is running the build.
qemu qemu-utils
app-emulation/qemu
After cloning the vm-sdk git repository, enter it and issue:
git submodule update --init
To update vm-sdk, go to the root dir of the git repo and issue:
git pull && git submodule update --init --recursive
Edit the config file to match your needs. Sensible defaults are
already there. Then run zsh. To avoid issues, it's best to start a
vanilla version, without preloaded config files so it doesn't cause
issues with libdevuansdk/vm-sdk functions.
; zsh -f -c 'source sdk'
Now is the time you choose the OS and (optionally) a blend you want to build the image for.
devuan
; load devuan
Once initialized, you can run the helper command:
; build_vm_dist
The image will automatically be build for you. Once finished, you will be
able to find it in the dist/ directory in vm-sdk's root.
