| 30 | +# How to build the container image |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +The first step is simple, the `iso-builder` container image needs to be build: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | +make image |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +This is based on CentOS Stream by default, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux you would use the `FROM` variable: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | +make image FROM=registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi:latest |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +# How to build the iso image |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +First, you need to have a recent Anaconda based installation iso. The latest CentOS Stream 9, Fedora 40 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 |
| 47 | +installation isos will work. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +``` |
| 50 | +make iso EMBED_IMAGE=<container-image> ORIGINAL_ISO=/path/to/original.iso SSHKEY="my public ssh-key" |
| 51 | +``` |
