    Post scripts seem to not be executed

      I was trying out the post steps to create my own version of a boxgrinder ami.  The script runs fine and the boxgrinder logs show that the post steps were run, but when I look for the changes in my image they are not there.  I created the image that I am running boxgrinder in with the attached ks file.  Let me know if you need more info.

          Looks strange, which meta appliance you used 1.1, 1.2?

           

          I propose to base your appliance on our latest meta appliance definition. Using RPM is now preferred.

            I did not use a meta appliance.  I created an boxgrinder image from a kickstart (attached) file. Are you suggesting that post would work if I use a meta appliance?

              Ah, now I see. Kickstart files are not supported by BoxGrinder as input files. I'm a bit confused. You attached .ks file but in the same message you showed .appl. What were the eact steps to create the appliance?

                I started an instance in amazon of the 1.2 meta appliance and the keys did not work, when I had an issue with that in the past I found I had to add curl to the package list.

                  Sorry, but I cannot understand your answer. Let me be more precise: what file you created to make your appliance? What files was generated? What commands you used to produce the appliance?

                    I did not use an appliance.  I installed a fresh vmware instance using the kickstart file listed, I then ran boxgrinder from there and got these errors.  I did not know about your appl, files I did not find those in the source.  I can try creating my appliances based on the files you have here  https://github.com/boxgrinder/boxgrinder-appliances/tree/master/appliances.  From previous exchanges you said that I need to run boxgrinder on the platform of the image I want to create (see below), is this still the case, or can I get the latest meta appliance and create all supported image types?

                     

                    BaseOS +Boxgrinder  creates OS

                    centos 5 + Boxgrinder -> to create Centos 5 images

                    fedora 13 + boxgrinder -> to create Fedora 13 images

                    fedora 14 + boxgrinder -> to create Fedora 14 images

                     

                    Do you have appliance files for creating the base OS + boxgrinder?

                      We are still talking about different things Using meta appliance or installing BoxGrinder on your system is another story compared to what I need to help you. What I'm really interested in is:

                      1. which file (and what content) you created as source for your appliance?
                      2. What exact commands you run to create the appliance?

                      There is no notion of "BaseOS". Base image is an output of operating system plugin (it could be CentOS, RHEL or Fedora OS).

                      You can build Fedora 13 or 14 on Fedora 13 or 14. But to build CentOS appliance you need to have BG installed on CentOS.

                        So boxgrinder needs to be installed into a running system.  To create that system you need to either use your appliance or manually install a system then install boxgrinder into it based on your instructions (below).  I did this for both centos and fedora, installed the os manually (through ks file attached) and then installed boxgrinder and started using it.  When I did all looked good, it ran and said it ran the post steps but did not.  So what do you want me to do next?

                          They ran fine from the meta-appliance 1.2, so ignore this issue.
