bifrost-create-dib-image
========================
This role uses diskimage-builder to create a bootable disk image or ramdisk.
Requirements
------------
This role requires:
- Ansible 1.9
Role Variables
--------------
The role can use the disk-image-create or ramdisk-image-create scripts. Which script is used is controlled by the build_ramdisk variable. The default is false.
build_ramdisk: false
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.
