AlmaLinux8 Image Builder Workflow

This example workflow starts a RHEL 8 Image Builder "gold image" build and capture process.

To create a customized version of the image for your use case, use the folowing stages to dynamically inject customization tasks in to this workflow:

  • image-builder-pre-builder-flexiflow - runs before image-builder-linux stage
  • image-builder-post-builder-flexiflow - runs after image-builder-linux stage

See each of the stages for documentation on how to use them.

RHEL requires special handling to work due to how Redhat manages subscriptions. You may need to set the following Params:

image-builder/skip-package-reset: true
redhat/subscription-username: "[Insert RHSM Username]"
redhat/subscription-password: "[Insert RHSM Password]"
redhat/rhsm-activation-key: "[Insert RHSP Activation Key]"
redhat/rhsm-organization: "[Insert RHSM Organization ID]"
redhat/subscription-repos:
  - rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
  - rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
  - rhel-8-for-x86_64-supplementary-rpms

Note

Note that the Subscription Repos must be set as the default values will not work for RHEL 8. The above three are known to work, but others may be added if needed. See the Param for more documentation on options.

There are other redhat/rhsm-* related Params that you may need in your environment. Consult the list of Params for more configuration options.
