Getting Started

Install package dependencies:

PKGS="
bzr
qemu-system-x86
qemu-utils
ubuntu-cloudimage-keyring
cloud-image-utils
grub-pc-bin
"
apt-get install $PKGS

Grab a copy of curtin (for some conversion tools):

mkdir -p ~/download
cd ~/download
bzr branch lp:curtin

Generate the install image from subiquity's root directory:

installer/geninstaller -a amd64 -b grub2 -r zesty
mv ~/download/maas/daily/*/amd64/*/installer.img .

Run the installer

# generate target device
qemu-img create -f raw target.img 10G

# run installer
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -enable-kvm \
     -hda installer.img -hdb target.img \
     -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:2445,server,nowait \
     -monitor stdio

# login and shutdown, ubuntu/passw0rd

Boot the installed image

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -enable-kvm \
     -hda target.img \
     -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:2445,server,nowait
