Tiny Core Ironic Python Agent

Build script requirements

For the main build script:

• wget
• pip
• unzip
• sudo
• awk
• mksquashfs

For building an ISO you'll also need:

• genisoimage

Instructions:

To create a new ramdisk, run:

make

or:

./build-tinyipa.sh && ./finalise-tinyipa.sh

This will create two new files once completed:

• tinyipa.vmlinuz
• tinyipa.gz

These are your two files to upload to glance for use with Ironic.

Building an ISO from a previous make run:

Once you've built tinyipa it is possible to pack it into an ISO if required. To create a bootable ISO, run:

make iso

or:

./build-iso.sh

This will create one new file once completed:

• tinyipa.iso

To build a fresh ramdisk and build an iso from it:

Run:

make all

To clean up the whole build environment run:

Run:

make clean

For cleaning up just the iso or just the ramdisk build:

make clean_iso

or:

make clean_tinyipa

Advanced options

If you want the build script to preinstall everything into the ramdisk, instead of loading some things at runtime (this results in a slightly bigger ramdisk), before running make or build-tinyipa.sh run:

export BUILD_AND_INSTALL_TINYIPA=true
