example-eikon-debian12-cloud-rootfs-swraid¶

Example Debian 12 cloud image converted to rootfs with software RAID configuration.

The image was downloaded and coverted to rootfs using the following commands.

curl -Lo debian12.tar.xz https://cdimage.debian.org/images/cloud/bookworm/latest/debian-12-nocloud-amd64.tar.xz
tar xf debian12.tar.xz; virt-tar-out -a disk.raw / - | zstd -o debian12.tar.zst
drpcli files upload debian12.tar.zst as images/eikon/debian12.tar.zst

The initial image is a compressed raw disk. It was uncompressed, then coverted to rootfs using virt-tar-out, a tool provided by the libguestfs-tools package.

This image won't work with swraid by default. There is no mdadm tools or drivers available in the image. To make it work, we add the packages in the chroot before first reboot, which requires access to whatever repo is enabled by default in the image.

For Debian, it is important that the swraid metadata is set to "1.0". This makes sure swraid information is stored at the end of the disk so efi can read the partition information correctly.

There is no sha256sum provided for the image. The example uses the latest image which is updated regularly.
