(qbian) qemu + minibian :: qbian

v 0.2.5

Gitter

A cli tool-set to help create & provision minibian images

  • Run on linux or vagrant VM linix machine ( TO BE COMPLETE , CONTRIBUTORS WELCOME ;) )
  • Uses kpartx for mounting the *.img and editing with a provision script
  • Uses qemu for emulation of the arm image.
  • Toolset will be extended over time. i.e create new images & config with custom provisions.
  • Automated provisioning & easy replication with imports & exports.
  • I just created this for myself & it's not perfect. People are more than welcome to use it, make changes & improve it.

Envoironments Available:

qbain cloud 9 IDE interface

Add the cli into your bin

$ git clone -b {release} {url}
$ ln -f /path/to/qbain/package/bin/qbain ~/bin/qbain

Or install with npm

$ npm install qbian-cli -g

Quick example


$ qbain init MyQbain # Will create the folder structure
$ cd MyQbain && \
$ qbain --create-default # creates a default image, uses the injects/default folder as injects
# After you create and the default image you can login using
$ ssh root@127.0.0.1 -p 5522 # OR if you have ssh configed to only allow ssh
$ qbain --ssh "root@127.0.0.1 -p 5522"
# At root home directory there'll be a Provision file to run
$ ./Provision.sh # all done halt image
# create a new image based on the default updated img
$ qbian --create-img updated "-redir tcp:8080::8080" 1G # create new images using the default img, Injects/updated folder required
$ qbian --list # list the images
# Use an already configured provsion i.e "example" one I've created
$ qbian --create-img example "-redir tcp:1374::1374 -redir tcp:8080::8080" 1G
# The example provision script will take a little while to complete. Add a user & password perdefined. add nvm & iojs with forever to run node. Add a quick express server & runs this at start up.
# Push to sd card - fdisk -l :: /dev/sdc < sd card >
$ qbian --export example /dev/sdc
# Now you can run on your device
$ qbian --skel MyEnv # Will create the inject folder you use for provisioning the image
$ qbian --create-img MyEnv "-redir tcp:8080::8080" 2.5G # Create the image and inject the MyEnv folder
$ qbian --run-img MyEnv 5522 # run the MyEnv image, port 5522 to ssh
# the provision should auto run because it was setup from the default image

Running on qemu cli help

cli commands

note : To use the provision image I made you just need to edit file /Provision/minibian/BASE_IMAGE_TAR_URL, take note that the format needs to be tar.gz & image inside called 2015-02-18-wheezy-minibian.img


Possible Environments : TODO

  • qbian-base : base for image for env's
  • qbian-c9 : cloud9 IDE
  • qbian-kodi : Kodi player with user auto login to kodi
  • qbian-lightdm : debian display manager

Known issues

  • When kpartx is ran it might auto mount which will cause the cli to exit on an error.

TODO:

  • Output stdout to log file /imageName/output.log
  • Output stderr to log file /imageName/error.log # hopefully none
  • Quiet down with minibian-qemu.sh script , clear , echo info to user & put to log file
  • Checks folder and files are avail , else either create or error out
  • Error Checks in /bin/qbain
  • Make tar minibian file configurable with a config file
