<p>“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees [and images].”</p>
|
|
<p>The <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/rhinstaller/lorax">lorax</a> tool is used to create the
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda">Anaconda</a> installer boot.iso as
|
|
well as the basic release tree, and .treeinfo metadata file. Its dependencies
|
|
are fairly light-weight because it needs to be able to run in a mock chroot
|
|
environment. It is best to run lorax from the same release as is being targeted
|
|
because the templates may have release specific logic in them. eg. Use the
|
|
rawhide version to build the boot.iso for rawhide, along with the rawhide
|
|
repositories.</p>

<h2>How it works<a class="headerlink" href="#how-it-works" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Lorax uses <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf">dnf</a> to install
|
|
packages into a temporary directory, sets up configuration files, it then
|
|
removes unneeded files to save space, and creates a squashfs filesystem of the
|
|
files. The iso is then built using a generic initramfs and the kernel from the
|
|
selected repositories.</p>
|
|
<p>To drive these processes Lorax uses a custom template system, based on <a class="reference external" href="http://www.makotemplates.org/">Mako
|
|
templates</a> with the addition of custom
|
|
commands (documented in <a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.html#pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner" title="pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner</span></tt></a>). Mako
|
|
supports <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">%if/%endif</span></tt> blocks as well as free-form python code inside <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><%</span>
|
|
<span class="pre">%></span></tt> tags and variable substitution with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">${}</span></tt>. The default templates are
|
|
shipped with lorax in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/usr/share/lorax/templates.d/99-generic/</span></tt> and use the
|
|
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.tmpl</span></tt> extension.</p>

|
|
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">runtime-install.tmpl</span></tt> template lists packages to be installed using the
|
|
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">installpkg</span></tt> command. This template is fairly simple, installing common packages and
|
|
architecture specific packages. It must end with the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">run_pkg_transaction</span></tt>
|
|
command which tells dnf to download and install the packages.</p>

|
|
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">runtime-postinstall.tmpl</span></tt> template is where the system configuration
|
|
happens. The installer environment is similar to a normal running system, but
|
|
needs some special handling. Configuration files are setup, systemd is told to
|
|
start the anaconda.target instead of a default system target, and a number of
|
|
unneeded services are disabled, some of which can interfere with the
|
|
installation. A number of template commands are used here:</p>

<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">runtime-cleanup.tmpl</span></tt> template is used to remove files that aren’t strictly needed
|
|
by the installation environment. In addition to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">remove</span></tt> template command it uses:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li><a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.html#pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner.removepkg" title="pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner.removepkg"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">removepkg</span></tt></a>
|
|
remove all of a specific package’s contents. A package may be pulled in as a dependency, but
|
|
not really used. eg. sound support.</li>
|
|
<li><a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.html#pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner.removefrom" title="pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner.removefrom"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">removefrom</span></tt></a>
|
|
Removes some files from a package. A file glob can be used, or the –allbut option to
|
|
remove everything except a select few.</li>

<li><a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.html#pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner.removekmod" title="pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner.removekmod"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">removekmod</span></tt></a>

<h3>The squashfs filesystem<a class="headerlink" href="#the-squashfs-filesystem" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>After <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">runtime-*.tmpl</span></tt> templates have finished their work lorax creates an
|
|
empty ext4 filesystem, copies the remaining files to it, and makes a squashfs
|
|
filesystem of it. This file is the / of the boot.iso’s installer environment
|
|
and is what is in the LiveOS/squashfs.img file on the iso.</p>

<div class="section" id="iso-creation">

<h3>iso creation<a class="headerlink" href="#iso-creation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The iso creation is handled by another set of templates. The one used depends
|
|
on the architecture that the iso is being created for. They are also stored in
|
|
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/usr/share/lorax/templates.d/99-generic</span></tt> and are named after the arch, like
|
|
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">x86.tmpl</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">aarch64.tmpl</span></tt>. They handle creation of the tree, copying
|
|
configuration template files, configuration variable substitution, treeinfo
|
|
metadata (via the <a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.html#pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner.treeinfo" title="pylorax.ltmpl.LoraxTemplateRunner.treeinfo"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">treeinfo</span></tt></a>
|
|
template command). Kernel and initrd are copied from the installroot to their
|
|
final locations and then mkisofs is run to create the boot.iso</p>

<h2>Custom Templates<a class="headerlink" href="#custom-templates" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The default set of templates and configuration files from the lorax-generic-templates package
|
|
are shipped in the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/usr/share/lorax/templates.d/99-generic/</span></tt> directory. You can
|
|
make a copy of them and place them into another directory under <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">templates.d</span></tt>
|
|
and they will be used instead if their sort order is below all other directories. This
|
|
allows multiple packages to ship lorax templates without conflict. You can (and probably
|
|
should) select the specific template directory by passing <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--sharedir</span></tt> to lorax.</p>
