eikon-rocky-9-image

Image definition for Rocky Linux 9 deployed with Eikon

Supplies the image that the eikon-rocky-9 Pipeline deploys. That Pipeline binds this profile, so the OS it declares and the image it actually writes stay in agreement.

By default it pulls the upstream Rocky Linux 9 cloud image. That is the GenericCloud build.

Airgap / mirror: set eikon/image-base-url once for the endpoint and this resolves to <base>/rocky-9.qcow2 instead, with no change here. See that param for the full recipe.

A single machine can be pointed at a different image by setting eikon/image-url on the machine or on a profile attached to it - both take precedence over this one. Set eikon/image-checksum alongside it for a repeatable build; the upstream URL tracks the distro's "latest" and its contents change as the distro republishes.

No eikon/plan is needed. The image is a whole-disk QCOW2, so Eikon renders a disks[].image whole-disk write to eikon/install-dev from these params alone. Reach for eikon/plan only when you need a custom storage layout - explicit partitioning, LVM, SW-RAID, or multiple images.

Change eikon/install-dev when the target's OS disk is not /dev/sda (for example /dev/vda on KVM or /dev/nvme0n1 on NVMe).
