SYNOPSIS
container create -s debootstrap [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
The debootstrap container creation script uses debootstrap(8) to create a Debian based container.
This script creates a pure Debian system with three modificiations:
- • apt cache of packages downloaded during debootstrap is cleaned
- • hostname is set (container name) in /etc/hostname
- • root password is set (user specified or 16 random characters)
OPTIONS
The following script options are available:
-n, --name=NAME
- Specify container name.
-a, --architecture=ARCHITECTURE
- Specify the Debian architecture, defaults to the host systems architecture.
-d, --distribution=DISTRIBUTION
- Specify the Debian distribution, defaults to jessie.
-m, --mirror=MIRROR
- Specify the Debian mirror, defaults to http://ftp.debian.org/debian.
-p, --root-password=PASSWORD
- Specify the root password, defaults to a random 16 character password.
EXAMPLES
Create a Debian 8 (jessie) based container with same architecture as the host system:
- sudo container create -s debootstrap -n jessie.example.net
Create a Debian 8 (jessie) based container with different architecture as the host system:
- sudo container create -s debootstrap -n jessie-i386.example.net --- -a i386
