Should this work out of the box?


There is no devuan.d directory there, you can create it by copying 
/usr/share/xen-tools/debian.d to devuan.d and then edit 20-setup-apt and 
change the default sources.list


I remember changing /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf and adding a "mirror" 
and "mirror_ascii" tags, and commenting out the guessed "mirror" line, 
which did not work then (it might work now).

[DNG] Problems configuring xen-create-image for Devuan

2019-03-03 Thread gyelt
Hi,

I would appreciate a pointer for the following problem, please:

I'm trying to create a new DomU with xen-create-image on a Devuan/Ascii
Dom0 machine.
It seems that Xen default configuration doesn't know Devuan.

I found this instruction from 2015
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/How_to_install_non-Debian_guests_on_Debian_Dom0,_Xen_4.4#Devuan
but running xen-create-image after the suggested changes I get the error:
ERROR: 'dist' argument takes a distribution name (see 
/usr/share/xen-tools for valid values)
That directory doesn't have a Devuan or Ascii sub-directory which seems
to be the cause of the error.
Should this work out of the box?

It has been years I last created an DomU this way and before delving in
more configuration scripts:
Am I on the right track here?
Has anybody solved this already and are the Devuan-corrected scripts out
there somewhere?

Thanks in advance

Gyelt
