NAME

       kiwi::system::create - Create image from prepared root system

SYNOPSIS

          kiwi-ng [global options] service <command> [<args>]

          kiwi-ng system create -h | --help
          kiwi-ng system create --root=<directory> --target-dir=<directory>
              [--signing-key=<key-file>...]
          kiwi-ng system create help

DESCRIPTION

       Create  an image from a previously prepared image root directory.  The kiwi create call is usually issued
       after a kiwi prepare command and builds the requested image type in the specified target directory

OPTIONS

       --root=<directory>
              Path to the image root directory. This directory is usually created by the kiwi  prepare  command.
              If  a  directory  is  used which was not created by kiwi's prepare command, it's important to know
              that kiwi stores image build metadata below the image/ directory which  needs  to  be  present  in
              order to let the create command operate correctly.

       --target-dir=<directory>
              Path to store the build results.

       --signing-key=<key-file>
              set  the  key  file to be trusted and imported into the package manager database before performing
              any operation. This is useful if an image build should take and validate  repository  and  package
              signatures  during build time. In create step this option only affects the boot image. This option
              can be specified multiple times
