Creating system images with RHEL Image Builder using CLI

• Creating RHEL images in the Image Builder service locally
• Configuring images

• Red Hat account

1. Install the Image Builder plugins with the following command:

   • sudo dnf install -y osbuild-composer composer-cli cockpit cockpit-composer

2. Enable the extra services:

   • sudo systemctl enable –now cockpit cockpit.socket osbuild-composer.socket

3. After enabling the socket, you can restart the osbuild-composer service:

   • sudo systemctl restart osbuild-composer

4. After these steps, the web console will be enabled on port 9090 of your server, and you can access it with your browser.
5. Once open, click the Create Image button to open the Image Builder dialogue wizard.
6. Select your preferred RHEL release and designate your target cloud environment.
7. Proceed through the wizard steps to register and name your image. You can register your image later if you do not currently have an activation key.

The built image can also be customized according to your organization’s specifications using Image Builder blueprints. To learn more about these options, please see this blog post.
