KVM Ubuntu Image Builder

This is a Vagrant-based qcow2 image builder to build root images for KVM/qemu.

Supports:

  • Ubuntu 12.04 precise amd64
  • Ubuntu 13.10 saucy amd64

Assumptions

This will use whatever ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub is found on the host build system as the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys inside the image being built.

The root password is set to 'root', but ssh password logins are disabled, so it only works at the console.

The mirror in the image is set to http://mirror.localservice/ubuntu. It is expected that the VM environment you are using will make this resolve appropriately and point at a local reverse proxy or full mirror.
