stephane ff600a5033 Move diskimage-builder and bootable image creation to roles
Break out image creation via diskimage-builder into a separate role.
Also break out create-bootable-image for consistency, though it is
legacy stuff that we do not expect to use in future.

In addition to the above, clean up a couple of typos, etc. in the
adjacent code and documentation.

bifrost-create-dib-image

This role uses diskimage-builder to create a bootable disk image.

Requirements

This role requires:

  • Ansible 1.9

Role Variables

The dib_env_vars are settings for the diskimage-builder environment variables which allow settings to be passed to elements that are being utilized to build a disk image. More information on diskimage-builder can be found at http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/diskimage-builder/. Additionally, an extra_dib_elements setting exists which is a space separated list of elements to incorporate into the image.

dib_env_vars: DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES: "ConfigDrive" ELEMENTS_PATH: "/opt/stack/diskimage-builder/elements" extra_dib_elements: ""

http_boot_folder, deploy_image_filename, and deploy_image all control the final destination of the built image.

http_boot_folder: /httpboot deploy_image_filename: "deployment_image.qcow2" deploy_image: "{{http_boot_folder}}/{{deploy_image_filename}}"

dib_os_element controls which OS will be used to build the image.

dib_os_element: "ubuntu"

Dependencies

dib-utils must be installed from pip for the image creation to work.

  • hosts: localhost connection: local name: "Build DIB image" sudo: yes gather_facts: yes roles:
