How to build images

If you have necessary software installed+configured on your local machine you can use the following commands to build the images. You can build the images using the build script build.sh or directly with Packer.

  • Ubuntu requirements:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ansible curl dnsmasq freerdp2-x11 git jq libc6-dev libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-dev python3-winrm qemu-kvm qemu-utils sshpass xorriso unzip virtualbox

PACKER_LATEST_VERSION="$(curl -s https://checkpoint-api.hashicorp.com/v1/check/packer | jq -r -M '.current_version')"
curl "https://releases.hashicorp.com/packer/${PACKER_LATEST_VERSION}/packer_${PACKER_LATEST_VERSION}_linux_amd64.zip" --output /tmp/packer_linux_amd64.zip
sudo unzip /tmp/packer_linux_amd64.zip -d /usr/local/bin/
rm /tmp/packer_linux_amd64.zip

VAGRANT_LATEST_VERSION=$(curl -s https://checkpoint-api.hashicorp.com/v1/check/vagrant | jq -r -M '.current_version')
curl "https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/${VAGRANT_LATEST_VERSION}/vagrant_${VAGRANT_LATEST_VERSION}_x86_64.deb" --output /tmp/vagrant_x86_64.deb
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends -y /tmp/vagrant_x86_64.deb
rm /tmp/vagrant_x86_64.deb

sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} kvm ; sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} libvirt ; sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} vboxusers

vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt

  • Debian 10+ requirements:

    VirtualBox is not in Debian 10 or later. If you need it, you will need to figure out a way to install it.

    echo 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bullseye.list
sudo sed --regexp-extended 's/^([^#].+\s+main)$/\1 contrib non-free/;' --in-place /etc/apt/sources.list  ## Ensure required apt components are enabled.
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/bullseye.pref
Explanation: Just install packages from bullseye if they are not in buster or buster-backports. Do not upgrade. Delete this file when you want to upgrade to bullseye.
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,n=bullseye
Pin-Priority: 50
EOF
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ansible curl dnsmasq freerdp2-x11 git jq libc6-dev libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-dev python3-winrm qemu-kvm qemu-utils sshpass xorriso unzip packer/bullseye vagrant vagrant-libvirt

sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} kvm ; sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} libvirt
sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} vboxusers  ## If you have VirtualBox installed.

  • Fedora requirements:

    sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install -y ansible curl freerdp git jq libvirt libvirt-devel qemu-kvm ruby-devel xorriso unzip VirtualBox

PACKER_LATEST_VERSION="$(curl -s https://checkpoint-api.hashicorp.com/v1/check/packer | jq -r -M '.current_version')"
curl "https://releases.hashicorp.com/packer/${PACKER_LATEST_VERSION}/packer_${PACKER_LATEST_VERSION}_linux_amd64.zip" --output /tmp/packer_linux_amd64.zip
sudo unzip /tmp/packer_linux_amd64.zip -d /usr/local/bin/
rm /tmp/packer_linux_amd64.zip

VAGRANT_LATEST_VERSION=$(curl -s https://checkpoint-api.hashicorp.com/v1/check/vagrant | jq -r -M '.current_version')
sudo dnf install -y https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/${VAGRANT_LATEST_VERSION}/vagrant-${VAGRANT_LATEST_VERSION}-1.x86_64.rpm
CONFIGURE_ARGS="with-ldflags=-L/opt/vagrant/embedded/lib with-libvirt-include=/usr/include/libvirt with-libvirt-lib=/usr/lib64/libvirt" vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
