NAME

       container-get-curl  -  Download a Debian based container by downloading a tarball over the
       network

SYNOPSIS

       container get -s curl ['OPTIONS']

DESCRIPTION

       The curl container download script uses curl(1) to download a tarball over the network  to
       create a Debian based container.

       Depending  on  the  tarball  this script otherwise creates a pure Debian system with three
       modificiations:

          • hostname is set (container name) in /etc/hostname

          • systemd machine-id is generated in /etc/machine-id

          • root password is set (user specified or 16 random characters)

   Container images
       compute-tools will download tarballs from a server expecting that the images are  tarballs
       with  either  gzip,  lzip, xz, or no compression. See container-images.sh as an example on
       how to create your own container images.

OPTIONS

       The following script options are available:

       -n, --name='NAME':
              Specify container name.

       -a, --architecture='ARCHITECTURE':
              Specify container architecture.

       --clean:
              Remove container tarball after successful download.

       -p, --root-password='PASSWORD':
              Specify the root password, defaults to a random 16 character password.

       --server='SERVER':
              Specify   the    image    server    to    download    from,    defaults    to    '‐
              https://get.open-infrastructure.net/system/container/debian'.

       --setup='SETUP':
              Specify  the  setup image name to download, defaults to the value specified through
              --system using the setup.tar.${COMPRESSION} suffix (where ${COMPRESSION} is  either
              lz, xz, or gz depending on compressor availability on the host system).

       --system='SYSTEM':
              Specify     the     system     image     name     to    download,    defaults    to
              debian-bookworm-current_${ARCHITECTURE}.system.tar.${COMPRESSION}            (where
              ${ARCHITECTURE}  is the host systems architecture and ${COMPRESSION} either lz, xz,
              or gz depending on compressor availability on the host system).

EXAMPLES

       Download a Debian 12 (bookworm) based container with same architecture as the host system:
          sudo container get -s curl -n bookworm.example.net

       Download a Debian 12 (bookworm) based container with different architecture  as  the  host
       system:
          sudo    container    get    -s    curl   -n   bookworm-i386.example.net   --   --system
          debian-bookworm-current_i386.system.tar.xz
