# vyos-vm-images

[Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) playbooks to build VyOS VM images.

## Requirements

You need a machine with at least 20 GB free space with Debian 10 (bare-metal, virtual, Docker container with --privileged flag). Also, you need to install ansible and python3 packages:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ansible python3
```

If you want to build an OVA image, you also need `ovftool` from VMware. It should be downloaded from the [VMware site](https://code.vmware.com/tool/ovf). Also, you need a private key to sign an OVA file. It can be generated with the next command:

```
openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout myself.pem -out myself.pem
```

All other requirements will be installed by ansible-playbook.


## Prepare

You need to copy the ISO image with VyOS to `/tmp/vyos.iso` before running ansible-playbook. Resulting images also will be located inside `/tmp/` directory.

### Docker
The Dockerfile has all required dependencies.
1. Download the `Dockerfile`
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vyos/vyos-vm-images/current/Dockerfile
```
2. Build local image with name `vyos-vm-images` (only if you do not have it)
```
docker build --tag vyos-vm-images:latest -f ./Dockerfile .
```
3. Start and connect to the container:
```shell
docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vm-build -v $(pwd)/images:/images -w /vm-build vyos-vm-images:latest bash
```
4. Clone repo
```
git clone https://github.com/vyos/vyos-vm-images.git && cd vyos-vm-images
```

## Supported Platforms

- QEMU

    ```
    ansible-playbook qemu.yml
    ```

- VMware Cloud-init

    ```
    ansible-playbook vmware.yml -e vyos_vmware_private_key_path=path_to_private_key
    ```

- VMware simple ova

    ```
    ansible-playbook vmware.yml -e vyos_vmware_private_key_path=path_to_private_key -e cloud_init=false -e ovf_template=simple
    ```

- Microsoft Hyper-V

    ```
    ansible-playbook hyperv.yml
    ```

- Vagrant libvirt

    ```
    ansible-playbook vagrant-libvirt.yml
    ```

## Additional (optional) parameters

- Path to local ISO image (default: /tmp/vyos.iso):

    ```
    -e iso_local=path
    ```

    Example:

    ```
    -e iso_local=/tmp/vyos/custom_image.iso
    ```

- Disk size (default: 10GB):

    ```
    -e disk_size=size
    ```

    Example for 2 GB:

    ```
    -e disk_size=2
    ```

- Enable Cloud-init (default: according to platform):

    ```
    -e cloud_init=true
    ```

- Configure custom Cloud-init datasources (default: according to platform):

    ```
    -e cloud_init_ds=datasources
    ```

    Example:
    ```
    -e cloud_init_ds=NoCloud,ConfigDrive,None
    ```

- Install guest agent. It can be `qemu`, `vmware` (default: none):

    ```
    -e guest_agent=agent
    ```

    Example:
    ```
    -e guest_agent=qemu
    ```

- Disable configuration stage modules in Cloud-init. Mostly useful when you are building for non-cloud environments, where Cloud-init meta-data is not available (default: false):
    ```
    -e cloud_init_disable_config=true
    ```

- Create an archive with files required to PXE boot (default: false):

    ```
    -e pxe=true
    ```

- Keep default `vyos` user with password `vyos` in configuration when building an image with Cloud-init (default: false):

    ```
    -e keep_user=true
    ```

- Select a type of partition table for a disk image. Supported: `mbr`, `gpt`, `hybrid` (default: `hybrid`):

    ```
    -e parttable_type=hybrid
    ```
- Select default console for boot. Supported: `kvm`, `serial` (default: depending on platform):

    ```
    -e grub_console=serial
    ```

- Install custom packages. Can be a list in the `files/custom_packages_list.txt` file separated by spaces, or deb files inside the `files/custom_debs/` directory:

    ```
    -e custom_packages=true
    ```

- Copy custom files. All files from inside the `files/custom_files/` directory will be copied to the target filesystem recursively:

    ```
    -e custom_files=true
    ```

- Enable DHCP on eth0 (default: `false`):

    ```
    -e enable_dhcp=true
    ```

- Enable SSH (default: `false`):

    ```
    -e enable_ssh=true
    ```

- Remove `login` from configuration. Unlike `keep_user`, this option will completely remove `system login` from configuration.

    ```
    -e without_login=true
    ```
