NAME

       ltsp-update-image - Generate an NBD image from an LTSP chroot

SYNOPSIS

       ltsp-update-image [OPTION] [CHROOT...]

DESCRIPTION

       ltsp-update-image  generates  a compressed squashfs image from an LTSP chroot and exports it with nbd-server(1).  CHROOT can be a full path
       or a subdirectory of the /opt/ltsp base directory, and it defaults to the host architecture if unset.

OPTIONS

       -b --base=
	      The LTSP base directory. Defaults to "/opt/ltsp".

       -c --cleanup
	      Temporarily remove user accounts, logs, caches etc from the chroot before exporting the image. The chroot arch  is  required  to	be
	      compatible with the server arch.

       -e --exclude=
	      List of dirs/files to exclude from the image.  This is in addition to /etc/ltsp/ltsp-update-image.excludes.

       -f --config-nbd
	      Generate appropriate nbd-server configuration files.  It's automatically set if NFS isn't used or if other LTSP generated nbd-server
	      configuration files already exist.

       -h --help
	      The application help page.

       -m --no-compress
	      Don't compress the generated image.

       -n --no-backup
	      Don't backup chroot.img to chroot.img.old.

       -r --revert
	      Swap chroot.img with chroot.img.old and update kernels.
