Distro-to-Order Developer’s Guide

• Creating the Raw eLxr Edge OSTree Image
• Booting the Raw eLxr Edge Image

Overview

Use the instructions in this manual to learn about creating and deploying custom distr-to-order eLxr Edge 12 system images with the rucksack repository.

This approach requires you to prepare your installation environment, but once done, booting, verifying, and modifying your installation are the same. The benefit of distro-to-order is that you can edit YAML files to customize and define your image to meet specific development requirements.

Workflow

To create a custom distro-to-order image:

1. Clone the eLxr 12 development repositories. For details, see Setting Up Your Development Environment for Distro-to-Order Image Builds.

2. Use console commands to create the eLxr rucksack container and define the image.

3. Boot the image built in the rucksack container and log in to verify its functionality.

4. Customize the image to include the packages and applications you need. For details, see eLxr 12 Quick Start: Adding and Updating Packages.
