# Kickstart to RootFS Builder
This project provides the ability build `rootfs` file from `kickstart` input file in a docker/podman container environment. Output rootfs files can be used create base images for different OSs (AlmaLinux, Cent OS, Rocky Linux) etc.
## HOW-TO
Image yet ot published in `hub.docker.com`, until then use local build.
### Building local
```sh
docker build -t almalinux/ks2rootfs .
```
### Using Image
Following command under `tests` folder. Run command uses the `kickstarts/almalinux-8-default.x86_64.ks` file to build.
Use command below to create `default` docker files
```sh
docker run --rm --privileged -v "$PWD:/build:z" \
-e BUILD_KICKSTART=kickstarts/almalinux-8-default.x86_64.ks \
-e BUILD_ROOTFS=almalinux-8-docker-default.x86_64.tar.gz \
-e BUILD_OUTDIR=default \
almalinux/ks2rootfs
```
Use command below to create `minimal` docker files
```sh
docker run --rm --privileged -v "$PWD:/build:z" \
-e BUILD_KICKSTART=kickstarts/almalinux-8-minimal.x86_64.ks \
-e BUILD_ROOTFS=almalinux-8-docker-minimal.x86_64.tar.gz \
-e BUILD_OUTDIR=minimal \
almalinux/ks2rootfs
```
