**Note:** vmdb2 is in "selfish maintenance mode". Lars maintains the
software to the extent he needs it, but is not spending time to
develop new features or debug problems he doesn't see himself. He will
review patches, however, so if you want vmdb2 to improve, make a
change and submit it for review.
vmdb2 installs a bare bones Debian system to a disk or disk image
file. It can be used for installing Debian to bare metal hardware,
bootable USB sticks, or to set up system disks for virtual machines.
Information on how we do things, and help to get you started if you're
interested:
* [[Code; also sending patches|patches]] or pull requests.
* Debian builds [images for Raspberry Pi](http://raspi.debian.net/)
boards with vmdb2.
# Example .vmdb file
A .vmdb file defines how an image is built:
~~~yaml
steps:
- mkimg: "{{ output }}"
size: 4G
- mklabel: msdos
device: "{{ output }}"
- mkpart: primary
device: "{{ output }}"
start: 1M
end: 10M
tag: unused
- mkpart: primary
device: "{{ output }}"
start: 10M
end: 100%
tag: rootfs
- kpartx: "{{ output }}"
- mkfs: ext4
partition: rootfs
label: smoke
- mount: rootfs
- unpack-rootfs: rootfs
- debootstrap: stretch
mirror: http://deb.debian.org/debian
target: rootfs
unless: rootfs_unpacked
- apt: install
packages:
- linux-image-amd64
tag: rootfs
unless: rootfs_unpacked
- cache-rootfs: rootfs
unless: rootfs_unpacked
- chroot: rootfs
shell: |
sed -i '/^root:[^:]*:/s//root::/' /etc/passwd
echo pc-vmdb2 > /etc/hostname
- grub: bios
tag: rootfs
console: serial
