Primary LanguageShell

Artifact VM Builder

Scripts and configuration to build Debian 10 based amd64 VM images with Qemu for paper artifacts. The resulting VM has a password-less user account artifact that is logged in automatically on the console.

Requirements

The scripts require the following software:

  • Linux or macOS
  • bash
  • qemu with x86_64 support

Usage

Create the VM as follows:

./make-artifact-vm

During installation the installer sometimes complains about download failure. Choosing <Retry> is usually enough to fix these problems.

After the VM is created, run as follows:

cd artifact-vm
./run

Modify the run script to adapt VM settings such as memory and network devices.
