Create Apptainer Images from openSUSE/SLE
===========================================
To create openSUSE/SLE apptainer images from scratch a number
of bootdef variables need to be specified:
1. Create a bootdef file (for instance 'sle.def'), add
BootStrap: zypper
2. Set the optional OS version:
OSVersion: 15.0
The version number corresponds to the Leap version or the
SLE version and service pack level: <version>.<service_pack_level>
Example: SLE-12 SP4 would be 12.4.
The inital release of a major version corresponds to
<service_pack_level> 0.
3. For openSUSE the following variables need to be
specified:
* MirrorURL: URL to the installation repository. Following URL
should be work:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-stable/repo/oss
* UpdateURL: (optional) URI of the update repository
4. For SLE, all required settings are obtained from SCC via
suseconnect-container. If the container should be registered separately
the following variables are recognized:
* Product: The product code: The following forms may be
used:
<product_id>
<product_id>/<os_version>
<product_id>/<os_version>/<arch>
<product_id>: SLES, SLE-HPC (SLE-12),
SLE_HPC (SLE-15), SLED
<os_version>: optional, if ommitted, the value
of OSVersion will be used.
The variable %{OSVERSION} is
recognized and replaced by OSVersion.
<arch> : The architecture to use. Defaults
to 'uname -m'.
* User: The email a subscription is registed with SCC.
* Regcode: The SCC registration code provided with the subscription.
* ProductPGP: The PGP key used to sign the repositories. Each line must
be terminated with \n. Long lines may be broken using the
continuation character '\'. See below.
Note: this is not required when an installer repository is
provided with MirrorURL.
Beginning with version 15, the URI to the installer image needs to be
provided as well:
* MirrorURL: Repository containing the SLE Installer (see also above).
Since SLE-15 consists of modules, a list of modules to be used should
to be specified as well:
* Modules: Specify the modules in a comma separated list without
spaces. Example:
SLEModules: sle-module-basesystem,sle-module-server-applications,sle-module-web-scripting,sle-module-hpc
Examples
========
Example defintions for a generic SUSE installation using the
repositories registered on the build host (SUSE.def) as well
as for the running OS version are available in
/usr/share/apptainer/templates.
