NAME

container-build-debootstrap - Build a basic Debian based container with debootstrap or mmdebstrap

SYNOPSIS

container build -s debootstrap ['OPTIONS']
cnt b -s debootstrap ['OPTIONS']

container build -s mmdebstrap ['OPTIONS']
cnt b -s mmdebstrap ['OPTIONS']

DESCRIPTION

The debootstrap container build script uses debootstrap(8) or mmdebstrap(1) to build a Debian based container.

This script builds a pure Debian system with three modificiations:

	•		apt cache of packages downloaded during debootstrap is cleaned
	•		hostname is set (container name) in /etc/hostname
	•		root password is set (user specified or 16 random characters)

OPTIONS

The following script options are available:
-n, --name='NAME':

Specify container name.

-a, --architecture='ARCHITECTURE':

Specify the Debian architecture, defaults to the host systems architecture.

-d, --distribution='DISTRIBUTION':

Specify the Debian distribution, defaults to 'trixie'.

-m, --mirror='MIRROR':

Specify the Debian mirror, defaults to ' <https://deb.debian.org/debian> '.

-p, --root-password='PASSWORD':

Specify the root password, defaults to a random 16 character password.

EXAMPLES

Build a Debian 13 (trixie) based container with same architecture as the host system using debootstrap:

sudo container build -s debootstrap -n trixie.example.net

Build a Debian 13 (trixie) based container with different architecture as the host system using mmdebstrap:

sudo container build -s mmdebstrap -n trixie-i386.example.net -- -a i386
