infrastructure as code to build docker machine

starter-machine

Starter to easily create machines

Dependencies

• git
• make

Setup

First, you need to install dependencies

make install

Usage

There is 3 mode of building: local, container, vm

build local

• Run ansible playbook locally $ make build-local machine=desktop-ubuntu-focal

build container

• first build the template image $ cd templates/containers $ make build dist=ubuntu version=focal user=foo password=bar tag=latest

• then, tag it as template $ docker tag romainprignon/ubuntu/jammy:latest romainprignon/desktop/ubuntu/jammy:template

• then, copy template var files near machine.json file desktop-ubuntu-jammy.var.template.json => desktop-ubuntu-jammy.var.json

• then, build using ansible and docker builder $ cd ../.. $ make build machine=desktop-ubuntu-focal builder=docker

build machine

• first add the template vm image $ cd templates/vms/vm_name $ mv my_vm.ovf vm_name.ovf $ mv my_vm.vmdk vm_name.vmdk

• then, build using ansible and packer builder $ cd ../.. $ make build machine=desktop-ubuntu-focal builder=packer

release

metal

• create a raw image that can be used with dd

$ make release-metal

FIX

• swap
• multipass

QA

source .profile first in docker

templates with vm

• manually install ubuntu 20.04
• need to install ssh server either while installing the system or via cmdline on first boot
• you can check in virtualbox using port translation 22 to 2222 on host and do
• upgrade accordingly (22.04, 24.04,...)
• export (change file name to ovf, only nat, no additional), you'll endup with a ovf and a vmdk file
• put it in:
  • templates/vms/ubuntu-${version}/ubuntu-${version}.ovf
  • templates/vms/ubuntu-${version}/ubuntu-${version}-disk001.vmdk
