The first few posts in the thread "Xen and the art of VM" describe using debootstrap to install an image.

I used the method described here to install a xen image. Works very well. Thanks.

After having a look in /usr/share/xen-tools/debian.d it looks trivial to add support for devuan to xen-create-image so I think I'm going to try that first.

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to install a couple of devuan (bare minimum) virtual machines. I like to avoid having to actually run the devuan installer on each virtual machine. Just run a command and there is a new devuan virtual machine which is configured (IP address etc) and ready to start.

On debian i've used xen-create-image, but devuan is not supported.
I've looked at disk-image-create and various other tools but I could not find one which supports devuan.

I came across https://git.devuan.org/devuan-sdk/vm-sdk.git but when I tried that it complained about dpkgdivert missing and some other errors.
I think this one looks promising but the documentation is very poor so I'm kind of lost on how to use it an how to diagnose those errors.

Is there any tool which can create a devuan virtual machine? Either KVM or Xen would be ok.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm trying to install devuan on a laptop and I would like to use use network-manager (and network-manager-gnome) but it can't install because it depends on libpam-systemd. On ascii it did not depend on libpam-systemd.
Is there a workaround or is it a bug?

Thanks.
