virt-dib - Run diskimage-builder elements

=head1 КОРОТКИЙ ОПИС

 virt-dib -B DIB-LIB [options] elements...

=head1 ОПИС

Virt-dib is a tool for using the elements of C<diskimage-builder> to build a
new disk image, generate new ramdisks, etc.

Virt-dib is intended as safe replacement for C<diskimage-builder> and its
C<ramdisk-image-create> mode, see L</COMPARISON WITH DISKIMAGE-BUILDER> for
a quick comparison with usage of C<diskimage-builder>.

C<diskimage-builder> is part of the TripleO OpenStack project:
L<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TripleO>.

=over 4

=item B<--help>

Показати довідкове повідомлення.

=item B<-B> ШЛЯХ

Set the path to the library directory of C<diskimage-builder>. This is
usually the F<lib> subdirectory in the sources and when installed, and
F</usr/share/diskimage-builder/lib> when installed in F</usr>.

This parameter is B<mandatory>, as virt-dib needs to provide it for the
elements (as some of them might use scripts in it).  Virt-dib itself does
not make use of the library directory.

=item B<--arch> АРХІТЕКТУРА

Використовувати для образу-результату вказану архітектуру. Типовим є
значення, яке збігається зі значенням архітектури для основної системи, на
якій запущено virt-dib.

У поточній версії цей параметр виконує лише встановлення змінної середовища
C<ARCH> для елементів, а елементи вже створюють образ для потрібної
користувачу архітектури.

=item B<--checksum>

Generate checksum files for the generated image.  The supported checksums
are MD5, and SHA256.

=item B<--colors>

=item B<--colours>

Use ANSI colour sequences to colourize messages.  This is the default when
the output is a tty.  If the output of the program is redirected to a file,
ANSI colour sequences are disabled unless you use this option.

=item B<--debug> РІВЕНЬ

Set the debug level to C<LEVEL>, which is a non-negative integer number.
The default is C<0>.

This debug level is different than what I<-x> and I<-v> set, and it
increases the debugging information printed out.  Specifically, this sets
the C<DIB_DEBUG_TRACE>, and any value E<gt> C<0> enables tracing in the
scripts executed.

=item B<--docker-target> TARGET

Set the repository and tag for docker.

This is used only when the formats include C<docker>, and it is required in
that case.

=item B<--drive> ДИСК

Додати вказаний диск як допоміжний, такий, де зберігатимуться файли кешу
елементів, зокрема образи дисків, пакунки дистрибутива тощо.

Див. L</ДОПОМІЖНИЙ ДИСК>.

=item B<--drive-format> raw

=item B<--drive-format> qcow2

Specify the format of the helper drive.  If this flag is not given then it
is auto-detected from the drive itself.

If working with untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should ensure
the format is always specified.

This option is used only if I<--drive> is specified.

Див. L</ДОПОМІЖНИЙ ДИСК>.

=item B<-p> ШЛЯХ

=item B<--element-path> ШЛЯХ

Додати новий шлях з елементами. Шляхи використовуватимуться у тому самому
порядку, у якому з’являються параметри I<-p>, отже, пошук за шляхом,
вказаним першим, відбуватиметься спочатку.

Obviously, it is recommended to add the path to the own elements of
C<diskimage-builder>, as most of the other elements will rely on them.

=item B<--extra-packages> ПАКУНОК,...

Встановити додаткові пакунки у образ, який збиратиметься.

This relies on the C<install-packages> binary provided by the package
management elements.

Цей параметр може бути використано декілька разів, декілька пакунків у
аргументах слід відокремлювати комами.

=item B<--envvar> ЗМІННА

=item B<--envvar> ЗМІННА=ЗНАЧЕННЯ

Передати або встановити змінну середовища для елементів.

See L</ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES> below for more information on the interaction
and usage of environment variables.

Цим параметром можна скористатися у декілька способів:

=over 4

=item B<--envvar> ЗМІННА

Передати змінну середовища C<ЗМІННА>. Якщо змінну не встановлено, до
елементів нічого не експортуватиметься.

=item B<--envvar> ЗМІННА=ЗНАЧЕННЯ

Set the environment variable C<VARIABLE> with value C<VALUE> for the
elements, regardless whether an environment variable with the same name
exists.

This can be useful to pass environment variable without exporting them in
the environment where virt-dib runs.

=back

=item B<--exclude-element> ЕЛЕМЕНТ

Ігнорувати вказаний елемент.

=item B<--exclude-script> СКРИПТ

Ігнорувати будь-який скрипт елемента із назвою C<СКРИПТ>, байдуже, до якого
елемента він належатиме.

This can be useful in case some script does not run well with virt-dib, for
example when they really need C<diskimage-builder>'s environment.

=item B<--formats> ФОРМАТ,...

Set the list of output formats, separating them with comma.

Підтримувані формати:

=over 4

=item C<docker>

Import the image to docker, running B<docker import>.  The target for the
image B<must> be specified using I<--docker-target>.

Please note this operation usually requires the docker service to be
enabled, otherwise it will fail.  Furthermore, B<docker> is run using
L<sudo(8)>, so make sure the user has the permissions to run at least
B<docker>.

=item C<qcow2> (типово увімкнено)

QEMU's qcow2.  This output format requires the C<qemu-img> tool.

=item C<raw>

Формат даних диска без обробки.

=item C<squashfs>

An squashfs filesystem, compressed with XZ.  This output format requires the
C<squashfs> feature; see also L<guestfs(3)/AVAILABILITY>.

=item C<tar>

Архів без стискання.

=item C<tgz>

A tarball compressed with gzip.

=item C<vhd>

C<Virtual Hard Disk> disk image.  This output format requires the
C<vhd-util> tool.

Please note that the version of C<vhd-util> tool needs to be patched to
support the C<convert> subcommand, and to be bootable.  The patch is
available here:
L<https://github.com/emonty/vhd-util/blob/master/debian/patches/citrix>.

=back

=item B<--fs-type> ФАЙЛОВА СИСТЕМА

Set the filesystem type to use for the root filesystem.  The default is
C<ext4>.

Див. також L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_filesystem_available>

=item B<--image-cache> КАТАЛОГ

Set the path in the host where cache the resources used by the elements of
the C<extra-data.d> phase.  The default is F<~/.cache/image-create>.

Please note that most of the resources fetched in phases other than
C<extra-data.d> will be cached in the helper drive specified with
I<--drive>; see also L</HELPER DRIVE>.

=item B<--install-type> ТИП

Specify the default installation type.  Defaults to C<source>.

Set to C<package> to use package based installations by default.

=item B<--machine-readable>

This option is used to make the output more machine friendly when being
parsed by other programs.  See L</MACHINE READABLE OUTPUT> below.

=item B<-m> МБ

=item B<--memsize> МБ

Change the amount of memory allocated to the appliance. Increase this if you
find that the virt-dib execution runs out of memory.

Типові значення можна визначити за допомогою такої команди:

 guestfish get-memsize

=item B<--mkfs-options> C<РЯДОК ПАРАМЕТРІВ>

Add the specified options to L<mkfs(1)>, to be able to fine-tune the root
filesystem creation; the options are passed to the driver of L<mfks(1)>, and
not to L<mfks(1)> itself.  Note that I<--fs-type> is used to to change the
filesystem type.

You should use I<--mkfs-options> at most once.  To pass multiple options,
separate them with space, eg:

 virt-dib ... --mkfs-options '-O someopt -I foo'

=item B<--network>

=item B<--no-network>

Увімкнути чи вимкнути доступ до мережі для гостьової системи під час
встановлення.

Типово увімкнено. Скористайтеся параметром I<--no-network>, щоб вимкнути
доступ.

The network only allows outgoing connections and has other minor
limitations.  See L<virt-rescue(1)/NETWORK>.

This does not affect whether the guest can access the network once it has
been booted, because that is controlled by your hypervisor or cloud
environment and has nothing to do with virt-dib.

If you use I<--no-network>, then the environment variable C<DIB_OFFLINE> is
set to C<1>, signaling the elements that they should use only cached
resources when available.  Note also that, unlike with C<diskimage-builder>
where elements may still be able to access to the network even with
C<DIB_OFFLINE=>, under virt-dib network will not be accessible at all.

=item B<--name> НАЗВА

Set the name of the output image file.  The default is C<image>.

According to the chosen name, there will be the following in the current
directory:

=over 4

=item F<$NAME.ext>

For each output format, a file named after the output image with the
extension depending on the format; for example: F<$NAME.qcow2>,
F<$NAME.raw>, etc.

Not applicable in ramdisk mode, see L</RAMDISK BUILDING>.

=item F<$NAME.d>

A directory containing any files created by the elements, for example
F<dib-manifests> directory (created by the C<manifests> element), ramdisks
and kernels in ramdisk mode, and so on.

=item F<$NAME.ext.checksum>

When I<--checksum> is specified, there will be files for each supported
checksum type; for example: F<$NAME.ext.md5>, F<$NAME.ext.sha256>, etc.

Not applicable in ramdisk mode, see L</RAMDISK BUILDING>.

=back

=item B<--no-delete-on-failure>

Don't delete the output files on failure to build.  You can use this to
debug failures to run scripts.

The default is to delete the output files if virt-dib fails (or, for
example, some script that it runs fails).

=item B<-q>

=item B<--quiet>

Не виводити звичайних повідомлень щодо поступу.

=item B<--qemu-img-options> параметр[,параметр,...]

Pass I<--qemu-img-options> option(s) to the L<qemu-img(1)> command to
fine-tune the output format.  Options available depend on the output format
(see I<--formats>) and the installed version of the qemu-img program.

You should use I<--qemu-img-options> at most once.  To pass multiple
options, separate them with commas, eg:

 virt-dib ... --qemu-img-options cluster_size=512,preallocation=metadata ...

=item B<--ramdisk>

=item B<--root-label> МІТКА

Встановити мітку для кореневої файлової системи у створеному образі.

Please note that some filesystems have different restrictions on the length
of their labels; for example, on C<ext2/3/4> filesystems labels cannot be
longer than 16 characters, while on C<xfs> they have at most 12 characters.

The default depends on the actual filesystem for the root partition (see
I<--fs-type>): on C<xfs> is C<img-rootfs>, while C<cloudimg-rootfs> on any
other filesystem.

=item B<--size> РОЗМІР

Select the size of the output disk, where the size can be specified using
common names such as C<32G> (32 gigabytes) etc.  The default size is C<5G>.

To specify size in bytes, the number must be followed by the lowercase
letter I<b>, eg: S<C<--size 10737418240b>>.

=head1 ЗМІННІ СЕРЕДОВИЩА

Unlike with C<diskimage-builder>, the environment of the host is B<not>
inherited in the appliance when running most of the elements (i.e. all
except the ones in the C<extra-data.d> phase).

To set environment for the elements being run, it is necessary to tell
virt-dib to use them, with the option I<--envvar>.  Such option allows to
selectively export environment variables when running the elements, and it
is the preferred way to pass environment variables to the elements.

To recap: if you want the environment variable C<MYVAR> (and its content) to
be available to the elements, you can do either

 export MYVAR   # яким би не було її значення
 virt-dib ... --envvar MYVAR ...

або

 virt-dib ... --envvar MYVAR=її_значення ...

=head1 ДОПОМІЖНИЙ ДИСК

Virt-dib runs most of the element in its own appliance, and thus not on the
host.  Because of this, there is no possibility for elements to cache
resources directly on the host.

To solve this issue, virt-dib allows the usage of an helper drive where to
store cached resources, like disk images, distribution packages, etc. While
this means that there is a smaller space available for caching, at least it
allows to limit the space on the host for caches, without assuming that
elements will do that by themselves.

Currently this disk is either required to have a single partition on it, or
the first partition on it will be used.  A disk with the latter
configuration can be easily created with L<guestfish(1)> like the following:

 guestfish -N filename.img=fs:ext4:10G exit

The above will create a disk image called F<filename.img>, 10G big, with a
single partition of type ext4; see L<guestfish(1)/PREPARED DISK IMAGES>.

It is recommended for it to be E<ge> 10G or even more, as elements will
cache disk images, distribution packages, etc.  As with any disk image, the
helper disk can be easily resized using L<virt-resize(1)> if more space in
it is needed.

The drive can be accessed like any other disk image, for example using other
tools of libguestfs such as L<guestfish(1)>:

 guestfish -a filename.img -m /dev/sda1

If no helper drive is specified with I<--drive>, all the resources cached
during a virt-dib run will be discarded.

=head2 РЕСУРСИ НА ДИСКУ

Inside the helper drive, it is possible to find the following resources:

=over 4

=item F</home>

This directory is set as C<HOME> environment variable during the build.  It
contains mostly the image cache (saved as F</home/.cache/image-create>), and
whichever other resource is cached in the home directory of the user running
the various tools.

=item F</virt-dib-*.log>

These are the logs of the elements being run within the libguestfs
appliance, which means all the phases except C<extra-data.d>.

=back

=head1 ЗБИРАННЯ ДИСКА У ПАМ'ЯТІ

Virt-dib can emulate also C<ramdisk-image-create>, which is a secondary
operation mode of C<diskimage-builder>.  Instead of being a different tool
name, virt-dib provides easy access to this mode using the I<--ramdisk>
switch.

У цьому режимі:

=over 4

=item 

there is an additional ramdisk element added (see I<--ramdisk-element>)

=item 

no image is produced (so I<--formats> is ignored)

=item 

F<$NAME.d> (see I<--name>) will contain initrd, kernel, etc

=back

=head1 ТИМЧАСОВИЙ КАТАЛОГ

Virt-dib uses the standard temporary directory used by libguestfs, see
L<guestfs(3)/ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES>.

By default this location is F</tmp> (default value for C<TMPDIR>), which on
some systems may be on a tmpfs filesystem, and thus defaulting to a maximum
size of I<half> of physical RAM.  If virt-dib exceeds this, it may hang or
exit early with an error.  The solution is to point C<TMPDIR> to a permanent
location used as temporary location, for example:

 mkdir local-tmp
 env TMPDIR=$PWD/local-tmp virt-dib ...
 rm -rf local-tmp

=head1 ДОДАТКОВІ ЗАЛЕЖНОСТІ

Because of virt-dib runs most of the elements in its own appliance, all the
tools and libraries used by elements running outside the guest (typically
C<root.d>, C<block-device.d>, and C<cleanup.d>)  need to be present in the
appliance as well.  In case they are not, scripts will fail typically with a
C<command not found> error.

For tools and libraries packaged by the distribution, the easy solution is
to tell libguestfs to include additional packages in the appliance.  This is
doable by e.g. creating a new file with the additional packages:

 # echo wget > /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/dib-my-extra

The actual path to the F<supermin.d> directory depends on the distribution;
additional files can list more packages, each in its own line.  For more
details, see L<supermin(1)>.

=head1 COMPARISON WITH DISKIMAGE-BUILDER

Virt-dib is intended as safe replacement for C<diskimage-builder> and its
C<ramdisk-image-create> mode; the user-notable differences consist in:

=over 4

=item 

the command line arguments; some of the arguments are the same as available
in C<diskimage-builder>, while some have different names:

 disk-image-create             virt-dib

=item 

the location of non-image output files (like ramdisks and kernels)

=item 

the way some of the cached resources are saved: using an helper drive, not
directly on the disk where virt-dib is run

=item 

the need to specify a target size for the output disk, as opposed to
C<diskimage-builder> calculating an optimal one

=item 

the handling of environment variables, see L</ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES>.

Furthermore, other than the libguestfs own environment variables (see
L<guestfs(3)/ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES>), virt-dib does not read any other
environment variable: this means that all the options and behaviour changes
are specified solely using command line arguments

=item 

extra tools needed on some out-of-chroot phases need to be available in the
appliance, see L</EXTRA DEPENDENCIES>.

=back

Elements themselves should notice no difference in they way they are run;
behaviour differences may due to wrong assumptions in elements, or not
correct virt-dib emulation.

=head1 MACHINE READABLE OUTPUT

The I<--machine-readable> option can be used to make the output more machine
friendly, which is useful when calling virt-dib from other programs, GUIs
etc.

Use the option on its own to query the capabilities of the virt-dib binary.
Typical output looks like this:

 $ virt-dib --machine-readable
 virt-dib
 output:qcow2
 output:tar
 output:raw
 output:vhd

=head1 ТЕСТУВАННЯ

Virt-dib has been tested with C<diskimage-builder> (and its elements)  E<ge>
0.1.43; from time to time also with C<tripleo-image-elements> and
C<sahara-image-elements>.

Previous versions may work, but it is not guaranteed.
