kraft pkg

Package and distribute Unikraft unikernels and their dependencies

Package and distribute Unikraft unikernels and their dependencies.

With kraft pkg you are able to turn output artifacts from kraft build into a distributable archive ready for deployment. At the same time, kraft pkg allows you to manage these archives: pulling, pushing, or adding them to a project.

The default behaviour of kraft pkg is to package a project. Given no arguments, you will be guided through interactive mode.

kraft pkg [FLAGS] [SUBCOMMAND|DIR]

Examples#

# Package a project as an OCI archive and embed the target's KConfig.
$ kraft pkg --as oci --name unikraft.org/nginx:latest --with-kconfig

-m, --arch string Filter the creation of the package by architecture of known targets
-a, --args string Pass arguments that will be part of the running kernel's command line
-M, --as string Force the packaging despite possible conflicts (default "auto")
