How to build a distro with studio express? I don’t understand all the avilable templates meanings can somone explain. Thanks in advance!
Hi
Whilst SLE centric it should give you an insight…
And on OBS…
I’m guessing you started here?
https://studioexpress.opensuse.org/
Assuming you are attempting to build from a template, you’re referring to the following page
Of the “Kiwi Image Templates for openSUSE LEAP 42.3”
-
Container built using docker tool - I’m not going to test it, but assume that you start by pulling down an openSUSE image from dockerhub which is likely more current than whatever is in Kiwi for 42.3.
-
Container built using Kiwi - Kiwi is the image creation tool you normally run locally on your machine. You can install kiwi from your OSS to see what it is, and the documentation how to use it (highly recommended, you may find kiwi on your machine preferable to Studio Express)
-
JeOS Hyper-V - You should know that “JeOS” stands for “Just enough OS” which means that it’s a severely stripped down version of LEAP, without documentation, common utilities, network tools, etc. In other words, you’re starting from a bare minimum which is only what is necessary to run and and software installation. Also, this image has been customized to deploy on Microsoft’s Hyper-V virtualization. JeOS are special images which aren’t recommended for general use, are mainly for building single purpose machines.
-
JeOS various other virtualization - Like the above but built for various virtualization technologies, not Microsoft’s Hyper-V.
Generally speaking,
If you install Kiwi on your system plus the images package, you’ll find images more suitable for what you likely want to do including building a custom general purpose openSUSE, possibly with your choice of Desktop.
A smattering of Kiwi resources (I can’t find the best one I remember at the moment)
