🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Customize a CoreOS live ISO image. that's it, that's the whole job — you take a live ISO and you make it yours. main character energy fr fr 💖

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --dest-ignition <path> — Ignition config fragment for dest sys. Automatically run installer and merge the specified Ignition config into the config for the destination system. no cap, it just does it for you ✨
  • --dest-device <path> — Install destination device. Automatically run installer, installing to the specified destination device. The resulting boot media will overwrite the destination device without confirmation. 😭 bestie PLEASE double-check that path before you commit, she does not ask twice.
  • --dest-console <spec> — Kernel and bootloader console for dest. Automatically run installer, configuring the specified kernel and bootloader console for the destination system. the argument uses the same syntax as the parameter to the console= kernel argument. iykyk 💜
  • --dest-karg-append <arg> — Destination kernel argument to append. Automatically run installer, adding the specified kernel argument for every boot of the destination system. every single one. committed 💅
  • --dest-karg-delete <arg> — Destination kernel argument to delete. Automatically run installer, deleting the specified kernel argument for every boot of the destination system. bye bye karg 👋
  • --network-keyfile <path> — NetworkManager keyfile for live & dest. Configure networking using the specified NetworkManager keyfile. network settings will be applied in the live environment, including when Ignition is run. if installer is enabled via additional options, network settings will also be applied in the destination system, including when Ignition is run. both places. she's generous like that 🧚
  • --network-nmstate <path> — Nmstate file for live & dest. Configure networking using NetworkManager keyfiles generated from the specified Nmstate files. network settings will be applied in the live environment, including when Ignition is run. if installer is enabled via additional options, network settings will also be applied in the destination system, including when Ignition is run. yes this is basically the nmstate-flavoured sibling of the one above, and yes she ate 🍓
  • --ignition-ca <path> — Ignition PEM CA bundle for live & dest. Specify additional TLS certificate authorities to be trusted by Ignition, in PEM format. authorities will be trusted by Ignition in the live environment and, if installer is enabled via additional options, in the destination system. trust issues? solved 🔥
  • --pre-install <path> — Script to run before installation. If installer is run at boot, run this script before installation. > if the script fails, the live environment will stop at an emergency shell. so like. write it carefully bestie 😭
  • --post-install <path> — Script to run after installation. If installer is run at boot, run this script after installation. > if the script fails, the live environment will stop at an emergency shell. same energy, same stakes 🙈
  • --installer-config <path> — Installer config file. Automatically run coreos-installer and apply the specified installer config file. config files are applied in the order that they are specified — order matters, she's not shuffling anything for you 🌈
  • --live-ignition <path> — Ignition config fragment for live env. Merge the specified Ignition config into the config for the live environment. ✨
  • --live-karg-append <arg> — Live kernel argument to append. Kernel argument to append to boots of the live environment.
  • --live-karg-delete <arg> — Live kernel argument to delete. Kernel argument to delete from boots of the live environment.
  • --live-karg-replace <k=o=n> — Live kernel argument to replace. Kernel argument to replace for boots of the live environment, in the form key=old=new. for a default argument "a=b", specifying "--live-karg-replace a=b=c" will produce the argument "a=c". glow-up for a karg, honestly ⭐
  • -f, --force — Overwrite existing customizations. she's not asking permission, she's just doing it 💅
  • -o, --output <path> — Write ISO to a new output file. so your original stays cute and untouched 🎀
  • -h, --help — Print help (see a summary with -h).
  • -V, --version — Print version.
  • <ISO> — ISO image. the whole point, the guest of honour, the moment 👑
