In the very near future, I intend to for releng/infra to be publishing the pre-converted qcow2 images, but for the moment, you can convert them yourselves: 1. Grab a cloud stage4: $ curl http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage4-amd64-hardened+cloud/stage4-amd64-hardened+cloud-20160811.tar.bz2 2. emerge app-emulation/diskimage-builder 3. symlink the tarball as needed: $ ln -s stage4-amd64-hardened+cloud-20160811.tar.bz2 gentoo-stage4-hardened.tar.bz2 4. Convert it to a QCOW2 disk image: $ GENTOO_PROFILE=hardened/linux/amd64 \ DIB_IMAGE_CACHE=`pwd` disk-image-create \ --offline \ --image-size 2 \ --mkfs-options='-T news,floppy' \ gentoo vm 5. Use image.qcow2 in the dir to boot the VM, either with cloud-init to inject a root password/ssh keys, or modify the image yourself first (convert to raw format, loopmount w/ -o offset=$((1024*1024)), convert back to QCOW2 afterwards). 6. You'll want to look at growpart and related tools if you intend to having space to work on stuff on the VM; it's deliberately very small, and I'd like to shave a little more space off to fit into a 1GiB disk with more room to spare. ** Right now: - 1GiB volume w/ ~50MiB free - 2GiB volume w/ ~1050MiB free - 1536MiB volume w/ ~679MiB free -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Trustee & Treasurer E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136
