oVirt Node Next installation iso

oVirt Node Next’s delivery format is a squashfs (or squashfs wrapped in an rpm), the benefit is that itcan be used by dracut (possibly stateless boot) and anaconda (can install the image).

Now, with a few commands it is possible to even generate a custom installation ISO for oVirt Node Next.

This works by fetching a CentOS 7 boot.iso, our squashfs image, and rebuilding a new iso from these two contents (plus a small kickstart as teh glue).

Run this command to generate an ISO containing the latest Ndoe Next build from our Jenkins CI:

$ curl "https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-node-ng.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/create-nightly-boot-iso.sh" | bash

Notice: This is only for the brave - Never run unreviewed scripts from the web.

Once Node Next is installed you can just run yum update on a daily basis to retrieve updates.
