Ubuntu Appliance ISO Build Layout
This directory defines the Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS appliance ISO build workspace.
Purpose
The Ubuntu ISO path replaces Talos-based image generation for supported appliance installs.
This layout separates concerns so later plan items can evolve independently:
config/nocloud/: autoinstall seed (user-data,meta-data) injected into the ISO.overlay/: host files copied into the installed system (systemd units, scripts, defaults).scripts/: repeatable build/validation automation.work/: ephemeral unpacked ISO workspace.output/: generated appliance ISO artifacts.
Build Contract
scripts/build-ubuntu-appliance-iso.sh is the single entrypoint.
It stages host appliance artifacts through scripts/stage-host-artifacts.sh
into overlay/opt/alga-appliance/ before ISO remaster steps.
Expected inputs:
- A base Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS ISO path (
--base-iso). - A release version string (
--release-version).
Expected outputs:
output/alga-appliance-ubuntu-<release-version>.isooutput/alga-appliance-ubuntu-<release-version>.sha256
Fresh Install Smoke
After building an ISO, validate the Kubernetes-hosted setup payload and then run a live fresh VM smoke with:
ee/appliance/tests/kubernetes-hosted-fresh-install-smoke.sh preflight \
--overlay-root ee/appliance/ubuntu-iso/overlay
For a live VM, use the same script's live mode with the VM node IP and setup
token printed on the appliance console.
Current Status
This commit establishes the layout and build interface (F001).
Autoinstall seed files now live in config/nocloud/user-data and config/nocloud/meta-data.
Subsequent features add host service artifacts and full ISO remastering.
