Profiles
A firebuild
profile is a JSON file with common values used to execute various commands.
Technically, firebuild
does not require a profile. Common arguments may be provided on every execution. The profile exists for two reasons:
- it makes subsequent operations more concise by moving the tedious arguments away
- provides extra isolation with different chroots, cache directories, and image / kernel catalogs
Profiles are stored in the /etc/firebuild/profiles
directory.
Profile settings
A profile can define following settings:
- Firecracker binary path: path to the firecracker binary
- Jailer binary path: path to the jailer binary
- Chroot base path: path to the chroot base directory
- Run cache path: path to the run cache directory
- Storage provider type: string identifying the storage provider to use
- Storage provider arguments: storage provider specific configuration
- Tracing configuration
