kiwi-ng system create help
Create an image from the previously prepared image root directory.
The kiwi create command is normally issued after the kiwi
prepare command, and it and builds the requested image type in the
specified target directory.
- --root=<directory>
- Path to the image root directory. This directory is normally created by
the kiwi prepare command. Keep in mind that if the specified
directory is not created using the kiwi prepare command, KIWI NG
stores image build metadata in the image/ directory. This directory must
exist for the kiwi create command to work correctly.
- --target-dir=<directory>
- Path to store the build results.
- --signing-key=<key-file>
- Trusted key file to be imported into the package manager database before
performing any operation. This is useful if an image build validates
repository and package signatures during build time. In the create step,
this option only affects the boot image. This option can be specified
multiple times.
