Ignite create
ignite create¶
Create a new VM without starting it
Synopsis¶
Create a new VM by combining the given image with a kernel. If no kernel is given using the kernel flag (-k, --kernel-image), use the default kernel (weaveworks/ignite-kernel:5.10.51).
Various configuration options can be set during creation by using the flags for this command.
If the name flag (-n, --name) is not specified, the VM is given a random name. Using the copy files flag (-f, --copy-files), additional files/directories can be added to the VM during creation with the syntax /host/path:/vm/path.
Example usage: $ ignite create weaveworks/ignite-ubuntu \ --name my-vm \ --cpus 2 \ --ssh \ --memory 2GB \ --size 6GB
ignite create <OCI image> [flags]
Options¶
--config string Specify a path to a file with the API resources you want to pass
-f, --copy-files strings Copy files/directories from the host to the created VM
--cpus uint VM vCPU count, 1 or even numbers between 1 and 32 (default 1)
-h, --help help for create
--id-prefix string Prefix string for system identifiers (default ignite)
--kernel-args string Set the command line for the kernel (default "console=ttyS0 reboot=k panic=1 pci=off ip=dhcp")
-k, --kernel-image oci-image Specify an OCI image containing the kernel at /boot/vmlinux and optionally, modules (default weaveworks/ignite-kernel:5.10.51)
-l, --label stringArray Set a label (foo=bar)
--memory size Amount of RAM to allocate for the VM (default 512.0 MB)
-n, --name string Specify the name
--network-plugin plugin Network plugin to use. Available options are: [cni docker-bridge] (default cni)
-p, --ports strings Map host ports to VM ports
--registry-config-dir string Directory containing the registry configuration (default ~/.docker/)
--require-name Require VM name to be passed, no name generation
--runtime runtime Container runtime to use. Available options are: [docker containerd] (default containerd)
--sandbox-image oci-image Specify an OCI image for the VM sandbox (default weaveworks/ignite:dev)
-s, --size size VM filesystem size, for example 5GB or 2048MB (default 4.0 GB)
--ssh[=<path>] Enable SSH for the VM. If <path> is given, it will be imported as the public key. If just '--ssh' is specified, a new keypair will be generated. (default is unset, which disables SSH access to the VM)
-v, --volumes volume Expose block devices from the host inside the VM
Options inherited from parent commands¶
--ignite-config string Ignite configuration path; refer to the 'Ignite Configuration' docs for more details
--log-level loglevel Specify the loglevel for the program (default info)
-q, --quiet The quiet mode allows for machine-parsable output by printing only IDs
