IMAGE-BUILDER(1)

💖 IMAGE-BUILDER — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the image-builder manual page, section 1 of the Unix manuals. this is the main character of the whole image-building saga, fr fr. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

image-builder — build operating system images from a given distro / image-type / blueprint 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

image-builder [flags]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Build operating system images from a given distribution, image-type and blueprint. that's the whole vibe, that's the assignment ✨

image-builder builds operating system images for a range of predefined operating systems like Fedora, CentOS and RHEL — with easy customizations support on top 🎀 so like, you get your OS image AND you get to make it yours. iconic behaviour, no cap.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --extra-repo=[] — add an extra repository during build. heads up: it will not be gpg checked, and it will not be part of the final image. it's a build-time guest star only, lowkey 🫥
• --force-repo=[] — override the base repositories during build. these will not be part of the final image either. main character for the build, ghost for the result 👻
• --force-repo-dir="" — override the default repository search path for custom repository files. point it where u want it to look, bestie 📁✨
• -h, --help[=false] — help for image-builder. classic. never not useful 🥹
• --output-dir="" — put output into the specified directory. tell it where to drop the goods 📦💖
• -v, --verbose[=false] — switch to verbose mode: more logging on stderr and verbose progress. basically it starts oversharing and honestly? we love that for it 🗣️🔥
