# imgutil(1) -- Work with confluent OS cloning and diskless images
## SYNOPSIS
`imgutil` `build` [<options>] <scratchdir>
`imgutil` `exec` [<options>] <scratchdir> [<cmd>...]
`imgutil` `unpack` <profilename> <scratchdir>
`imgutil` `pack` [<options>] <scratchdir> <profilename>
`imgutil` `capture` <node> <profilename>
## DESCRIPTION
**imgutil** is a utility for creating, managing, and deploying OS images for diskless boot and system cloning in a Confluent environment. It supports building images from scratch, capturing images from running systems, and packing/unpacking diskless profiles.
## COMMANDS
* `build`:
Build a new diskless image from scratch in the specified scratch directory.
* `exec`:
Start the specified scratch directory as a container and optionally run a command inside it.
* `unpack`:
Unpack a diskless image profile to a scratch directory for modification.
* `pack`:
Pack a scratch directory into a diskless profile that can be deployed.
* `capture`:
Capture an image for cloning from a running system.
## BUILD OPTIONS
* `-r`, `--addrepos` <repository>:
Repositories to add in addition to the main source. May be specified multiple times.
* `-p`, `--packagelist` <file>:
Filename of package list to replace default pkglist.
* `-a`, `--addpackagelist` <file>:
A list of additional packages to include. May be specified multiple times.
* `-s`, `--source` <directory>:
Directory to pull installation from, typically a subdirectory of `/var/lib/confluent/distributions`. By default, the repositories for the build system are used. For Ubuntu, this is not supported; the build system repositories are always used.
* `-y`, `--non-interactive`:
Avoid prompting for confirmation.
* `-v`, `--volume` <mount>:
Directory to make available in the build environment. `-v /` will cause it to be mounted in image as `/run/external/`. `-v /:/run/root` will override the target to be `/run/root`. Something like `/var/lib/repository:-` will cause it to mount to the identical path inside the image. May be specified multiple times.
* <scratchdir>:
Directory to build new diskless root in.
## EXEC OPTIONS
* `-v`, `--volume` <mount>:
Directory to make available in the build environment. `-v /` will cause it to be mounted in image as `/run/external/`. `-v /:/run/root` will override the target to be `/run/root`. May be specified multiple times.
* <scratchdir>:
Directory of an unpacked diskless root.
* <cmd>:
Optional command to run (defaults to a shell).
## UNPACK OPTIONS
* <profilename>:
The diskless OS profile to unpack.
* <scratchdir>:
Directory to extract diskless root to.
## PACK OPTIONS
* `-b`, `--baseprofile` <profile>:
Profile to copy extra info from. For example, to make a new version of an existing profile, reference the previous one as baseprofile.
* `-u`, `--unencrypted`:
Pack an unencrypted image rather than encrypting.
* <scratchdir>:
Directory containing diskless root.
* <profilename>:
The desired diskless OS profile name to pack the root into.
## CAPTURE OPTIONS
* <node>:
Node to capture image from.
* <profilename>:
Profile name for captured image.
## EXAMPLES
Build a diskless image from a distribution:
imgutil build -s alma-9.6-x86_64 /tmp/myimage
Execute a shell in an unpacked image:
imgutil exec /tmp/myimage
Execute a specific command in an image:
imgutil exec /tmp/myimage /bin/rpm -qa
Unpack an existing profile for modification:
imgutil unpack myprofile /tmp/myimage
Pack a modified image into a new profile:
imgutil pack /tmp/myimage myprofile-v2
Capture an image from a running node:
imgutil capture node01 production-image
## FILES
* `/var/lib/confluent/public/os/`:
Default location for OS profiles.
* `/var/lib/confluent/private/os/`:
Location for encrypted image keys and private data.
* `/var/lib/confluent/distributions/`:
Default location for installation sources.
