NAME
----
container-create-debootstrap - Create a basic Debian based container with debootstrap or mmdebstrap


SYNOPSIS
--------
*container create -s debootstrap* ['OPTIONS']
*cnt cr -s debootstrap* ['OPTIONS']

*container create -s mmdebstrap* ['OPTIONS']
*cnt cr -s mmdebstrap* ['OPTIONS']

DESCRIPTION
-----------
The debootstrap container creation script uses debootstrap(8) or mmdebstrap(1) to create a Debian based container.

This script creates a pure Debian system with three modificiations:

  * apt cache of packages downloaded during debootstrap is cleaned
  * hostname is set (container name) in /etc/hostname
  * root password is set (user specified or 16 random characters)


OPTIONS
-------
The following script options are available:

*-n, --name='NAME'*::
	Specify container name.

*-a, --architecture='ARCHITECTURE'*::
	Specify the Debian architecture, defaults to the host systems architecture.

*-d, --distribution='DISTRIBUTION'*::
	Specify the Debian distribution, defaults to stretch.

*-m, --mirror='MIRROR'*::
	Specify the Debian mirror, defaults to https://deb.debian.org/debian.

*-p, --root-password='PASSWORD'*::
	Specify the root password, defaults to a random 16 character password.


EXAMPLES
--------
*Create a Debian 9 (stretch) based container with same architecture as the host system using debootstrap:*::
	sudo container create -s debootstrap -n stretch.example.net

*Create a Debian 9 (stretch) based container with different architecture as the host system using mmdebstrap:*::
	sudo container create -s mmdebstrap -n stretch-i386.example.net -- -a i386
