Virt-customize can customize a virtual machine (disk image) by installing
packages, editing configuration files, and so on.
Virt-customize modifies the guest or disk image
in place. The guest must
be shut down. If you want to preserve the existing contents of the guest,
you must snapshot, copy or clone the disk first.
You do
not need to run virt-customize as root. In fact we'd generally
recommend that you don't.

virt-sysprep(1) and
virt-builder(1).

オプションを使用します。
-
-a URI
-
--add URI
- Add a remote disk. The URI format is compatible with
guestfish. See "ADDING REMOTE STORAGE" in
guestfish(1).
-
--attach ISOFILE
- The given disk is attached to the libguestfs appliance.
This is used to provide extra software repositories or other data for
customization.
You probably want to ensure the volume(s) or filesystems in the attached
disks are labelled (or use an ISO volume name) so that you can mount them
by label in your run-scripts:
mkdir /tmp/mount
mount LABEL=EXTRA /tmp/mount
You can have multiple --attach options, and the format can be any
disk format (not just an ISO).
-
--attach-format FORMAT
- Specify the disk format for the next --attach
option. The "FORMAT" is usually "raw" or
"qcow2". Use "raw" for ISOs.
- --colors
- --colours
- Use ANSI colour sequences to colourize messages. This is
the default when the output is a tty. If the output of the program is
redirected to a file, ANSI colour sequences are disabled unless you use
this option.

- -n
- --dry-run
- Perform a read-only "dry run" on the guest. This
runs the sysprep operation, but throws away any changes to the disk at the
end.
- --echo-keys
- When prompting for keys and passphrases, virt-customize
normally turns echoing off so you cannot see what you are typing. If you
are not worried about Tempest attacks and there is no one else in the room
you can specify this flag to see what you are typing.
-
--format raw|qcow2|..
-
--format auto
- The default for the -a option is to auto-detect the
format of the disk image. Using this forces the disk format for -a
options which follow on the command line. Using --format auto
switches back to auto-detection for subsequent -a options.
例:
virt-customize --format raw -a disk.img
forces raw format (no auto-detection) for disk.img.
virt-customize --format raw -a disk.img --format auto -a another.img
forces raw format (no auto-detection) for disk.img and reverts to
auto-detection for another.img.

-
--key SELECTOR
- Specify a key for LUKS, to automatically open a LUKS device
when using the inspection. "ID" can be either the libguestfs
device name, or the UUID of the LUKS device.
-
--key "ID":key:KEY_STRING
- Use the specified "KEY_STRING" as
passphrase.
-
--key "ID":file:FILENAME
- Read the passphrase from FILENAME.
- --keys-from-stdin
- Read key or passphrase parameters from stdin. The default
is to try to read passphrases from the user by opening /dev/tty.
If there are multiple encrypted devices then you may need to supply multiple
keys on stdin, one per line.
-
-m MB
-
--memsize MB
- Change the amount of memory allocated to --run
scripts. Increase this if you find that --run scripts or the
--install option are running out of memory.
The default can be found with this command:
guestfish get-memsize
- --network
- --no-network
- Enable or disable network access from the guest during the
installation.
Enabled is the default. Use --no-network to disable access.
The network only allows outgoing connections and has other minor
limitations. See "NETWORK" in virt-rescue(1).
If you use --no-network then certain other options such as
--install will not work.
This does not affect whether the guest can access the network once it has
been booted, because that is controlled by your hypervisor or cloud
environment and has nothing to do with virt-customize.
Generally speaking you should not use --no-network. But here
are some reasons why you might want to:
- 1.
- Because the libguestfs backend that you are using doesn't
support the network. (See: "BACKEND" in guestfs(3)).
- 2.
- Any software you need to install comes from an attached
ISO, so you don't need the network.
- 3.
- You don’t want untrusted guest code trying to access
your host network when running virt-customize. This is particularly an
issue when you don't trust the source of the operating system templates.
(See "SECURITY" below).
- 4.
- You don’t have a host network (eg. in
secure/restricted environments).
- -q
- --quiet
- Don’t print log messages.
To enable detailed logging of individual file operations, use
-x.
-
--smp N
- Enable N ≥ 2 virtual CPUs for --run scripts
to use.
- -v
- --verbose
- デバッグ用の冗長なメッセージを有効にします。
- -V
- --version
- バージョン番号を表示して、終了します。
- --wrap
- Wrap error, warning, and informative messages. This is the
default when the output is a tty. If the output of the program is
redirected to a file, wrapping is disabled unless you use this
option.
- -x
- libguestfs API
呼び出しのトレースを有効にします。
-
--append-line FILE:LINE
- Append a single line of text to the "FILE". If
the file does not already end with a newline, then one is added before the
appended line. Also a newline is added to the end of the "LINE"
string automatically.
For example (assuming ordinary shell quoting) this command:
--append-line '/etc/hosts:10.0.0.1 foo'
will add either "10.0.0.1 foo⏎" or "⏎10.0.0.1
foo⏎" to the file, the latter only if the existing file does
not already end with a newline.
"⏎" represents a newline character, which is guessed by
looking at the existing content of the file, so this command does the
right thing for files using Unix or Windows line endings. It also works
for empty or non-existent files.
To insert several lines, use the same option several times:
--append-line '/etc/hosts:10.0.0.1 foo'
--append-line '/etc/hosts:10.0.0.2 bar'
To insert a blank line before the appended line, do:
--append-line '/etc/hosts:'
--append-line '/etc/hosts:10.0.0.1 foo'
-
--chmod PERMISSIONS:FILE
- Change the permissions of "FILE" to
"PERMISSIONS".
Note: "PERMISSIONS" by default would be decimal, unless
you prefix it with 0 to get octal, ie. use 0700 not 700.
-
--commands-from-file FILENAME
- Read the customize commands from a file, one (and its
arguments) each line.
Each line contains a single customization command and its arguments, for
example:
delete /some/file
install some-package
password some-user:password:its-new-password
Empty lines are ignored, and lines starting with "#" are comments
and are ignored as well. Furthermore, arguments can be spread across
multiple lines, by adding a "\" (continuation character) at the
of a line, for example
edit /some/file:\
s/^OPT=.*/OPT=ok/
The commands are handled in the same order as they are in the file, as if
they were specified as --delete /some/file on the command
line.
-
--copy SOURCE:DEST
- Copy files or directories recursively inside the guest.
Wildcards cannot be used.
-
--copy-in LOCALPATH:REMOTEDIR
- Copy local files or directories recursively into the disk
image, placing them in the directory "REMOTEDIR" (which must
exist).
Wildcards cannot be used.
-
--delete PATH
- Delete a file from the guest. Or delete a directory (and
all its contents, recursively).
You can use shell glob characters in the specified path. Be careful to
escape glob characters from the host shell, if that is required. For
example:
virt-customize --delete '/var/log/*.log'.
See also: --upload, --scrub.
-
--edit FILE:EXPR
- Edit "FILE" using the Perl expression
"EXPR".
表現がシェルにより変更されるのを防ぐために、適切に引用符でくくるよう注意してください。
このオプションは Perl 5
がインストールされているときのみ利用可能であることに注意してください。
See "NON-INTERACTIVE EDITING" in virt-edit(1).
-
--firstboot SCRIPT
- Install "SCRIPT" inside the guest, so that when
the guest first boots up, the script runs (as root, late in the boot
process).
The script is automatically chmod +x after installation in the guest.
The alternative version --firstboot-command is the same, but it
conveniently wraps the command up in a single line script for you.
You can have multiple --firstboot options. They run in the same order
that they appear on the command line.
Please take a look at "FIRST BOOT SCRIPTS" in
virt-builder(1) for more information and caveats about the first
boot scripts.
See also --run.
-
--firstboot-command 'CMD+ARGS'
- Run command (and arguments) inside the guest when the guest
first boots up (as root, late in the boot process).
You can have multiple --firstboot options. They run in the same order
that they appear on the command line.
Please take a look at "FIRST BOOT SCRIPTS" in
virt-builder(1) for more information and caveats about the first
boot scripts.
See also --run.
-
--firstboot-install PKG,PKG..
- Install the named packages (a comma-separated list). These
are installed when the guest first boots using the guest’s package
manager (eg. apt, yum, etc.) and the guest’s network connection.
For an overview on the different ways to install packages, see
"INSTALLING PACKAGES" in virt-builder(1).
-
--hostname HOSTNAME
- Set the hostname of the guest to "HOSTNAME". You
can use a dotted hostname.domainname (FQDN) if you want.
-
--install PKG,PKG..
- Install the named packages (a comma-separated list). These
are installed during the image build using the guest’s package
manager (eg. apt, yum, etc.) and the host’s network connection.
For an overview on the different ways to install packages, see
"INSTALLING PACKAGES" in virt-builder(1).
See also --update, --uninstall.
-
--link TARGET:LINK[:LINK..]
- Create symbolic link(s) in the guest, starting at
"LINK" and pointing at "TARGET".
-
--mkdir DIR
- Create a directory in the guest.
This uses "mkdir -p" so any intermediate directories are
created, and it also works if the directory already exists.
-
--move SOURCE:DEST
- Move files or directories inside the guest.
Wildcards cannot be used.
- --no-logfile
- Scrub "builder.log" (log file from build
commands) from the image after building is complete. If you don't want to
reveal precisely how the image was built, use this option.
See also: "LOG FILE".
-
--password USER:SELECTOR
- Set the password for "USER". (Note this option
does not create the user account).
See "USERS AND PASSWORDS" in virt-builder(1) for the format
of the "SELECTOR" field, and also how to set up user
accounts.
-
--password-crypto md5|sha256|sha512
- When the virt tools change or set a password in the guest,
this option sets the password encryption of that password to
"md5", "sha256" or "sha512".
"sha256" and "sha512" require glibc ≥ 2.7 (check
crypt(3) inside the guest).
"md5" will work with relatively old Linux guests (eg. RHEL 3), but
is not secure against modern attacks.
The default is "sha512" unless libguestfs detects an old guest
that didn't have support for SHA-512, in which case it will use
"md5". You can override libguestfs by specifying this option.
Note this does not change the default password encryption used by the guest
when you create new user accounts inside the guest. If you want to do
that, then you should use the --edit option to modify
"/etc/sysconfig/authconfig" (Fedora, RHEL) or
"/etc/pam.d/common-password" (Debian, Ubuntu).
-
--root-password SELECTOR
- Set the root password.
See "USERS AND PASSWORDS" in virt-builder(1) for the format
of the "SELECTOR" field, and also how to set up user accounts.
Note: In virt-builder, if you don't set --root-password then
the guest is given a random root password.
-
--run SCRIPT
- Run the shell script (or any program) called
"SCRIPT" on the disk image. The script runs virtualized inside a
small appliance, chrooted into the guest filesystem.
The script is automatically chmod +x.
If libguestfs supports it then a limited network connection is available but
it only allows outgoing network connections. You can also attach data
disks (eg. ISO files) as another way to provide data (eg. software
packages) to the script without needing a network connection (
--attach). You can also upload data files ( --upload).
You can have multiple --run options. They run in the same order that
they appear on the command line.
See also: --firstboot, --attach, --upload.
-
--run-command 'CMD+ARGS'
- Run the command and arguments on the disk image. The
command runs virtualized inside a small appliance, chrooted into the guest
filesystem.
If libguestfs supports it then a limited network connection is available but
it only allows outgoing network connections. You can also attach data
disks (eg. ISO files) as another way to provide data (eg. software
packages) to the script without needing a network connection (
--attach). You can also upload data files ( --upload).
You can have multiple --run-command options. They run in the same
order that they appear on the command line.
See also: --firstboot, --attach, --upload.
-
--scrub FILE
- Scrub a file from the guest. This is like --delete
except that:
- •
- It scrubs the data so a guest could not recover it.
- •
- It cannot delete directories, only regular files.
- --selinux-relabel
- Relabel files in the guest so that they have the correct
SELinux label.
This will attempt to relabel files immediately, but if the operation fails
this will instead touch /.autorelabel on the image to schedule a
relabel operation for the next time the image boots.
You should only use this option for guests which support SELinux.
-
--sm-attach SELECTOR
- Attach to a pool using "subscription-manager".
See "SUBSCRIPTION-MANAGER" in virt-builder(1) for the
format of the "SELECTOR" field.
-
--sm-credentials SELECTOR
- Set the credentials for "subscription-manager".
See "SUBSCRIPTION-MANAGER" in virt-builder(1) for the
format of the "SELECTOR" field.
- --sm-register
- Register the guest using "subscription-manager".
This requires credentials being set using --sm-credentials.
- --sm-remove
- Remove all the subscriptions from the guest using
"subscription-manager".
- --sm-unregister
- Unregister the guest using
"subscription-manager".
-
--ssh-inject USER[:SELECTOR]
- Inject an ssh key so the given "USER" will be
able to log in over ssh without supplying a password. The "USER"
must exist already in the guest.
See "SSH KEYS" in virt-builder(1) for the format of the
"SELECTOR" field.
You can have multiple --ssh-inject options, for different users and
also for more keys for each user.
-
--timezone TIMEZONE
- Set the default timezone of the guest to
"TIMEZONE". Use a location string like
"Europe/London"
-
--touch FILE
- This command performs a touch(1)-like operation on
"FILE".
-
--truncate FILE
- This command truncates "FILE" to a zero-length
file. The file must exist already.
-
--truncate-recursive PATH
- This command recursively truncates all files under
"PATH" to zero-length.
-
--uninstall PKG,PKG..
- Uninstall the named packages (a comma-separated list).
These are removed during the image build using the guest’s package
manager (eg. apt, yum, etc.). Dependent packages may also need to be
uninstalled to satisfy the request.
See also --install, --update.
- --update
- Do the equivalent of "yum update", "apt-get
upgrade", or whatever command is required to update the packages
already installed in the template to their latest versions.
See also --install, --uninstall.
-
--upload FILE:DEST
- Upload local file "FILE" to destination
"DEST" in the disk image. File owner and permissions from the
original are preserved, so you should set them to what you want them to be
in the disk image.
"DEST" could be the final filename. This can be used to rename the
file on upload.
If "DEST" is a directory name (which must already exist in the
guest) then the file is uploaded into that directory, and it keeps the
same name as on the local filesystem.
See also: --mkdir, --delete, --scrub.
-
--write FILE:CONTENT
- Write "CONTENT" to "FILE".
For guests which make use of SELinux, special handling for them might be needed
when using operations which create new files or alter existing ones.
For further details, see "SELINUX" in
virt-builder(1).
