I'll happily share some scripts, but they're somewhat tied to my CI setup here and thus not easy to use without the surrounding stuff. (For example, there's a generic "create a VM" script running Qemu or SIMH, maybe creating virtual disks or overlays, maybe extracting a tarball with NetBSD's release directory for getting the Install ISO etc.) So I kind of hesitate throwing it into the public without docs, but I'll drop you the scripts with some brief comments so that you'd easily cut out the "relevant" parts.) An actual longer-term goal is to package them to an extend where I can easily re-install all the CI setup, but I'm not yet there. However, I'm using that stuff on a day-to-day basis for generic Linux/GCC/Binutils/GDB/glibc/NetBSD/... CI jobs and it is at least fit for that job.

I would think that would be a very bad idea for a publicly distributed official OS image! note that those images are only meant to be used by some cloud infrastructure that's handling proper security isolation (in those cases nobody except the host could even reach the ssh port). FreeBSD does have those images: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/CI-IMAGES/ (not sure whether "CI" here stands for continuous integration or cloud infrastructure) I would think it should be trivial to take a copy of the official image, modify it as desired, then use that modified copy for one's own uses. In context of public infrastructures, it's not that easy. Besides the need for some appropriate storage place (where ci jobs can fetch it from) it's also a matter of reproducability and trust. For example, if I submit my on private image to freedesktop.org, the whole org needs to trust me I didn't mess something up. And we have to repeat all steps for each new upstream release. Having an official image, where I directly can ssh into would skip that all. (with FreeBSD we're already doing it that way). It would be easier if I somehow could inject a script (eg. by separate volume) that's handling my configuration. --mtx -- --- Hinweis: unverschlüsselte E-Mails können leicht abgehört und manipuliert werden !

For my own CI builds, I'm cross-building NetBSD from Linux for all port/cpus and use that generated amd64 install ISO to do an autoated installation into Qemu (simple `expect` script.) I use that generated image as a r/o image with a writeable overlay (all plain Qemu functionality) to have "throw-away" instances (different only by MAC address) that I can easily start and end to do CI builds within a NetBSD environment.

Official cloud/live images ?
Hello folks, are there any official live images that allow direct login via ssh (no password), which can directly be used for cloud / continous integration jobs ? I'm currently setting up CI jobs for building Xorg on NetBSD, but I've only found an amd64 live image, where sshd is pretty locked down (no root login, etc), so I had to manually log in on console and change sshd config. That's quite unpleasant - I'd rather directly use the official release images instead. thx --mtx -- --- Hinweis: unverschlüsselte E-Mails können leicht abgehört und manipuliert werden !
