Spin ISO build quickstart

Podman/Docker

The instructions below will use the podman command, but you may be able to substitute for docker.

First, pull down the container of the required environment (CentOS Stream 8).

$ sudo podman pull quay.io/centoshyperscale/centos:stream8

Assuming you're in the root directory of the Git checkout, set up the container:

$ sudo podman run --privileged --rm -it -v $PWD:/code quay.io/centoshyperscale/centos:stream8 /bin/bash

Once in the container environment, set up your development environment and run the image build (substitute <livemedia.ks> for the appropriate kickstart):

# Change to the code location
[]$ cd /code
# Install livecd-tools and pykickstart
[]$ dnf --assumeyes install livecd-tools pykickstart
# Flatten the kickstart so that it can be run easily
[]$ ksflatten --config <livemedia.ks> --output livemedia-flat.ks
# Run the image build
[]$ livecd-creator --config livemedia-flat.ks --fslabel CS8-HS-LiveDVD --title=CentOS-Stream-8-Hyperscale-LiveDVD --product=CentOS-Stream-Hyperscale-LiveDVD --releasever=8
