debian-minimal¶
The debian-minimal
element uses debootstrap for generating a
minimal image.
By default this element creates the latest stable release. The exact
setting can be found in the element’s environment.d
directory in
the variable DIB_RELEASE
. If a different release of Debian should
be created, the variable DIB_RELEASE
can be set appropriately.
Note that this element installs systemd-sysv
as the init system
The element obeys the DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR
argument for
mirroring (see debootsrap
element documentation). However, the
security repositories are separate for Debian, so we can not assume
they exist at DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR
. If you do not wish to use
the upstream repository (from security.debian.org
) override it
with DIB_DEBIAN_SECURITY_MIRROR
. The security suite name’s subpath
can also be overridden to something other than /updates
with the
DIB_DEBIAN_SECURITY_SUBPATH
variable.
