Configure

To configure the bundler, go to the Prefs tab. There are several child tabs here, one for general settings and one tab for each of the supported platforms. It is only necessary to configure the sections you will actually be using.

General Settings:

• Output Folder: By default all output will go here. This program chews up a lot of disk space so this folder should be on a large partition with ample free space
• Default Format: By default images will be built in this format. Set it to the virtualization platform you use most often.
• Default Size: By default images will have this size. It is important that the size is large enough to accomodate the files in the image and leave enough free space for additional software and documents.
• Default FS Type: By default images will have this filesystem type.
• Default Repo: This is the directory that contains the stacks available to you for bundling. Stacks themselves are merely filesystem hierarchies that contain a full operating environment. In other words, they are the root filesystem of an OS.
• Paths: Please make sure the paths set by default in this tab section are accurate, eg that 'Sudo Path' actually points to the sudo executable

Xen Settings:

Currently there are no options here. When building for Xen, a file-backed vbd will be created with a single partition (the root partition). The size and filesystem type can be set in the General tab and are also settable when creating the image itself in the Bundler tab. A default xen config file is also created that can be used with the 'xm create' command.

KVM/QEMU Settings:

Currently there are no options here. When building for KVM, a qcow2 file will be created with a single partition (the root partition). The size and filesystem type can be set in the General tab and are also settable when creating the image itself in the Bundler tab.

VMWare Settings:

Currently there are no options here. When building for VMWare, a vmdk file will be created with a single partition (the root partition). The size and filesystem type can be set in the General tab and are also settable when creating the image itself in the Bundler tab. A vmx is also created.

Amazon/Eucalyptus Settings:

These two tabs work the same. If you want to build for these cloud platforms you must set the respective fields in these tabs. The tooltips for these fields are helpful in explaining what the fields mean. Please see the documentation provided by Amazon and the Eucalyptus project if you need more information on the proper use of keys.
