How can we build RHEL 8 OVAs

Open anoopl opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We are not able to find the command for building RHEL 8 OVAs Describe the solution you'd like

We wanted to build a custom OVA using RHEL 8 ISO. We could not find the build command for RHEL 8 Describe alternatives you've considered

Can we use commands for RHEL 7 or Rocky Linux * build OVA commands for this, I am not sure about that

/kind feature

It's currently not added to the ova provider, but as a workaround, It can be built via qemu build-qemu-rhel-8 and then converted to an ova by running ./hack/convert-cloudstack-image.sh ./output/<build-name>/<build-name> v

@davidjumani Thank you so much for the reply! I already created the code for building RHEL-8 and able to build the image successfully Only tested or created code for Vsphere OVA Build Tested this with TKG specs I am wondering how can I write/generate Goss specs for the testing It will be great if you can share some guide lines for sending a PR

@anoopl Looks like there's already a PR for the same at https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/image-builder/pull/870 Perhaps you can contribute to it :)

@davidjumani I saw that PR unfortunately when I was looking at PR test cases It looks like it covers AMIs as well just not OVA Will it be accepted if I send a separate PR

@anoopl Seems like #870 has not had any updates in close to 3months. Feel free to open up your PR and we'll be happy to review it.
