| # Introduction |
| |
| This is used to build appliances for use with CloudStack. Currently two |
| build profiles are available for building systemvmtemplate (Debian based) and |
| CentOS based built-in user VM template. |
| |
| # Setting up Tools and Environment |
| |
| - Install packer and latest KVM, qemu on a Linux machine |
| - Install tools for exporting appliances: qemu-img, ovftool, faketime, sharutils |
| - Build and install `vhd-util` as described in build.sh or use pre-built |
| binaries at: |
| |
| http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/vhd-util |
| http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/libvhd.so.1.0 |
| |
| # How to build appliances |
| |
| Just run build.sh, it will export archived appliances for KVM, XenServer, |
| VMWare and HyperV in `dist` directory: |
| |
| bash build.sh systemvmtemplate |
| bash build.sh builtin |
