@stacksofplates building templates using virt-builder

Oh. It's pretty simple. virt-builder --list gives you a list of images you can use.

Then just create your template with virt-builder <os> --format <format> imagename.format

Then you can use virt-customize to inject packages, create users, set passwords, etc. Then just clone that for your template.

[stacksofplates]

After a specific amount of time, it will download a new image and cache it when running virt-builder. I forget what the amount of time is though.

@stacksofplates That's cool, virt-customize has an option to copy files or directories into the image.

Ya, libguestfs has a bunch of cool tools.

Is it necessary to add --selinux-relabel when downloading the VM?

No. That’s all in the image. Only when updating the packages with libguestfstools
