Hello,

I followed the instructions in the wiki page to create a custom ISO image. I have packages installed but would like to execute some commands (such as starting an SSH server) when the ISO image boots. How would I go about including files (like the SSH server configuration) in the ISO and specifying startup commands?

Thanks,
Daryl

I never did this, but I think that you need an apkovl file created with lbu.

And then something like make PROFILE=alpine-custom APKOVL=name.apkovl.tar.gz iso ('name' must be the same as the hostname).

It seem that name.apkovl.tar.gz can not be used locally (!?).
From the wiki:

Quote:

Alpine ISO Requires the OVL Volume to be hosted on a web server. If you don't have one you can run busybox's httpd temporarily

So if you have the apkovlfile in your home folder you can do:

$ busybox httpd -p 127.0.0.1 -h /home/user
$ make PROFILE=alpine APKOVL=http://127.0.0.1/name.apkovl.tar.gz iso
$ pkill busybox
