Creating the minimal ISO image

• Download the ISO image from the site: Rocky Linux Download
• Build the container file with the following command:

  buildah build -t ns8-boxbuilder .

• Create the container that modifies the minimal ISO of Rocky Linux with the following command:

  podman run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/root localhost/ns8-boxbuilder mkksiso --cmdline "inst.ks=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tommaso-ascani/rocky-ns8/refs/heads/main/ks.cfg" <downloaded_image_name>.iso ns8.iso

  Note: Replace <downloaded_image_name> with the name of the downloaded ISO image.

Create bootable USB

• List block devices to identify the USB drive:

  lsblk

• Write the ISO file to the USB drive:

  sudo dd if=./ns8.iso of=/dev/* bs=4M status=progress && sync

• Eject the USB drive:

  sudo eject /dev/*
