kiwi-ng system create help
Create an image from a previously prepared image root directory.
The kiwi create call is usually issued after a kiwi prepare command and
builds the requested image type in the specified target directory
- --root=<directory>
- Path to the image root directory. This directory is usually created by the
kiwi prepare command. If a directory is used which was not created by
kiwi's prepare command, it's important to know that kiwi stores image
build metadata below the image/ directory which needs to be present in
order to let the create command operate correctly.
- --target-dir=<directory>
- Path to store the build results.
- --signing-key=<key-file>
- set the key file to be trusted and imported into the package manager
database before performing any operation. This is useful if an image build
should take and validate repository and package signatures during build
time. In create step this option only affects the boot image. This option
can be specified multiple times
