brave base

Pull a base image from LXD Image Server or public Github Bravefile

brave base DISTRIBUTION/RELEASE/ARCH

Description

Bravetools can import base images either from LXD Image Server (https://images.lxd.canonical.com) or from Bravefiles stored in public GitHub repositories. This creates an efficient way of leveraging multiple pre-built images to speed up creation of a bespoke system container.

Pulling from LXD Image server

Clean OS images can be imported into Bravetools directly from LXD Image server:

brave base alpine/edge

You can explicitly specify image architecture. For example brave base alpine/edge/arm64 or brave base alpine/edge/amd64.

Pulling from a GiHub repository

Container images can be quite large and downloading their distributions is not efficient. Bravetools has a mechanism to access a remotely-stored Bravefile and build an image directly from it:

brave base github.com/beringresearch/bravefiles/ubuntu/ubuntu-bionic-py3

This will create an Ubuntu 18.04 image with Python3 installation, using a Bravefile located on a GitHub repository

Usage inside a Bravefile

All local images can be utilised inside a Bravefile using the local location option:

base:
  image: alpine/edge/amd64
  location: local

Options

  -h, --help            help for base
  -r, --remote string   Name of the remote which will be used to build the base image. (default "local")
