vbox-img Docker image
A Docker image that allows using vbox-img to convert virtual disk images.
No VirtualBox, VMWare, qemu-img
, or vmdk-tool
required.
With this image you can convert vmdk, vdi, vhd, and raw images from and to.
The goal of making this image was to enable the use case of converting a
.ova
file containing a monolithicSparse .vmdk
file into an .ova
file
containing a streamOptimized .vmdk
file.
Build
$ docker build -t vbox-img .
Or fetch:
$ docker pull djui/vbox-img
Usage
Convert monolithicSparse VMDK into streamOptimized VMDK
$ docker run --rm -i \
-v $PWD/coreos_production_vmware_image.vmdk:/tmp/coreos_production_vmware_image.vmdk \
vbox-img convert \
--srcfilename /tmp/coreos_production_vmware_image.vmdk \
--stdout \
--dstformat VMDK \
--variant Stream \
> coreos_production_vmware_image_stream.vmdk
Converting image "/tmp/coreos_production_vmware_image.vmdk" with size 9116319744 bytes (8694MB)...
Default Usage
