Chapter 2. Setting up RHEL image builder

Procedure

1. Install the following packages on the virtual machine.

   • osbuild-composer
   • composer-cli
   • cockpit-composer
   • bash-completion
   • firewalld

   # yum install osbuild-composer composer-cli cockpit-composer bash-completion firewalld

   RHEL image builder is installed as an application in RHEL web console.

2. Reboot the virtual machine

3. Configure the system firewall to allow access to the web console:

   # firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit && firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent

   Copy to Clipboard

4. Enable RHEL image builder.

   # systemctl enable osbuild-composer.socket cockpit.socket --now

   Copy to Clipboard

   The osbuild-composer and cockpit services start automatically on first access.

5. Load the shell configuration script so that the autocomplete feature for the composer-cli command starts working immediately without reboot:

   $ source /etc/bash_completion.d/composer-cli
