17 Create an image from a previously prepared image root directory. The
18 kiwi create call is usually issued after a kiwi prepare command and
19 builds the requested image type in the specified target directory
20
22 --root=<directory>
23 Path to the image root directory. This directory is usually cre‐
24 ated by the kiwi prepare command. If a directory is used which
25 was not created by kiwi's prepare command, it's important to
26 know that kiwi stores image build metadata below the image/
27 directory which needs to be present in order to let the create
28 command operate correctly.
29
30 --target-dir=<directory>
31 Path to store the build results.
32
33 --signing-key=<key-file>
34 set the key file to be trusted and imported into the package
35 manager database before performing any opertaion. This is useful
36 if an image build should take and validate repository and pack‐
37 age signatures during build time. In create step this option
38 only affects the boot image. This option can be specified multi‐
39 ple times
