github systemd/mkosi v18

latest releases: v24.3, v24.2, v24.1...

  • $SCRIPT was renamed to $CHROOT_SCRIPT. $SCRIPT can still be used
    but is considered deprecated.
  • Added RuntimeTrees= setting to mount directories when booting images
    via mkosi boot, mkosi shell or mkosi qemu. The directories are
    mounted with a uid map that maps the user invoking mkosi to the root
    user so that all files in the directory appear as if owned by the root
    user in the container or virtual machine and any new files created in
    the directories are owned by the user invoking mkosi. To make this
    work in VMs, we use VirtioFS via virtiofsd. Note that this
    requires systemd v254 or newer to be installed in the image.
  • Added support for booting directory images with mkosi qemu via
    VirtioFS. When CONFIG_VIRTIOFS and CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI are builtin
    modules, no initramfs is required to make this work.
  • Added Include= or --include to include extra configuration files
    or directories.
  • Added support for specifiers to access the current value of certain
    settings during configuration file parsing.
  • mkosi will now exit with an error when no configuration was
    provided.
  • Multiple scripts of the same type are now supported.
  • Custom distributions are now supported via the new custom
    distribution. When using custom as the distribution, the rootfs must
    be provided via base trees, skeleton trees or prepare scripts.
  • We now use local GPG keys for rpm based distributions if the
    distribution-gpg-keys package is installed on the host.
  • Added RuntimeSize= to grow the image to a specific size before
    booting it when using mkosi boot or mkosi qemu.
  • We now set MKOSI_UID and MKOSI_GID when running scripts which are
    set to the uid and gid of the user invoking mkosi respectively. These
    can be used to run commands as the user that invoked mkosi.
  • Added an Architecture= match
  • Initrds specified with Initrds= are now used for grub menuentries as
    well.
  • ImageId= and ImageVersion= are now written to os-release as
    IMAGE_ID and IMAGE_VERSION if provided.
  • We pass command line arguments passed to the build verb to the build
    script again.
  • We added support for the "RHEL Universal Base Image" distribution.
