Ubuntu Manpage: schroot-script-config - schroot chroot setup script configuration

NAME

       schroot-script-config - schroot chroot setup script configuration

DESCRIPTION

       schroot  uses  scripts  to set up and then clean up the chroot environment.  These scripts
       may be customised using the script-config  key  in  /etc/schroot/schroot.conf.   This  key
       specifies  a  file  which  the setup scripts will source when they are run.  The file is a
       Bourne shell script, and in consequence may contain any valid shell code, in  addition  to
       simple  variable  assignments.   This  will, for example, allow behaviour to be customised
       according to the specific chroot type or name.

       This file is deprecated, but is still used if present; it will be obsoleted and removed in
       a future release.  All the settings in this file are now settable using configuration keys
       in schroot.conf, as detailed below.  Existing configuration  should  be  modified  to  use
       these keys in place of this file.

ENVIRONMENT

       The environment is the same as for all setup scripts, described in schroot-setup(5).

VARIABLES

The following variables may be set to configure setup script behaviour. Note that new
variables may be added in future releases. Third-party extensions to schroot which add
their own setup scripts may add additional variables which are not documented here;
consult the extension documentation for further details.

SETUP_COPYFILES
A file containing a list of files to copy into the chroot (one file per line). The
file will have the same absolute location inside the chroot. Note that this is
settable using the setup.copyfiles key.

SETUP_FSTAB
The filesystem table file to be used to mount filesystems within the chroot. The
format of this file is the same as for /etc/fstab, documented in fstab(5). The
only difference is that the mountpoint path fs_dir is relative to the chroot,
rather than the root. Note that this is settable using the setup.fstab key. Also
note that mountpoints are canonicalised on the host, which will ensure that
absolute symlinks point inside the chroot, but complex paths containing multiple
symlinks may be resolved incorrectly; it is advised to not use nested symlinks as
mountpoints.

SETUP_NSSDATABASES
A file listing the system databases to copy into the chroot. The default databases
are ‘passwd’, ‘shadow’, ‘group’, ‘services’, ‘protocols’, ‘networks’, and ‘hosts’.
‘gshadow’ is not yet copied by default, due to not being supported by all but the
most recent version of the GNU C library. The databases are copied using getent(1)
so all database sources listed in /etc/nsswitch.conf will be used for each
database. Note that this is settable using the setup.nssdatabases key.
