# waiting for its child C to finish. C calls fork() again, splitting into

# E notices this by using read() and follows up with executing the tools
# new[ug]idmap on D. E finishes and D continues with doing another fork().

# alive or otherwise any child processes cannot fork() anymore themselves. So

=head1 NAME

mmdebstrap - multi-mirror Debian chroot creation

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<mmdebstrap> [B<OPTION...>] [I<SUITE> [I<TARGET> [I<MIRROR>...]]]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<mmdebstrap> creates a Debian chroot of I<SUITE> into I<TARGET> from one or
more I<MIRROR>s. It is meant as an alternative to the debootstrap tool (see
section B<DEBOOTSTRAP>). In contrast to debootstrap it uses apt to resolve
dependencies and is thus able to use more than one mirror and resolve more
complex dependencies.

If no I<MIRROR> option is provided, L<http://deb.debian.org/debian> is used.
If I<SUITE> is a stable release name and no I<MIRROR> is specified, then
mirrors for updates and security are automatically added. If a I<MIRROR>
option starts with "deb " or "deb-src " then it is used as a one-line-style
format entry for apt's sources.list inside the chroot.  If a I<MIRROR> option
contains a "://" then it is interpreted as a mirror URI and the apt line
inside the chroot is assembled as "deb [arch=A] B C D" where A is the host's
native architecture, B is the I<MIRROR>, C is the given I<SUITE> and D is the
components given via B<--components> (defaults to "main"). If a I<MIRROR>
option happens to be an existing file, then its contents are pasted into the
chroot's sources.list.  This can be used to supply a deb822 style
sources.list. If I<MIRROR> is C<-> then standard input is pasted into the
chroot's sources.list.  More than one mirror can be specified and are appended
to the chroot's sources.list in the given order. If you specify a https or tor
I<MIRROR> and you want the chroot to be able to update itself, don't forget to
also install the ca-certificates package, the apt-transport-https package for
apt versions less than 1.5 and/or the apt-transport-tor package using the
B<--include> option, as necessary.

The optional I<TARGET> argument can either be the path to a directory, the path
to a tarball filename, the path to a squashfs image, the path to an ext2 image,
a FIFO, a character special device, or C<->. Without the B<--format> option,
I<TARGET> will be used to choose the format. See the section B<FORMATS> for
more information. If no I<TARGET> was specified or if I<TARGET> is C<->, an
uncompressed tarball will be sent to standard output.

The I<SUITE> may be a valid release code name (eg, sid, stretch, jessie) or a
symbolic name (eg, unstable, testing, stable, oldstable). Any suite name that
works with apt on the given mirror will work. If no I<SUITE> was specified,
then a single I<MIRROR> C<-> is added and thus the information of the desired
suite has to come from standard input as part of a valid apt sources.list file.
The value of the I<SUITE> argument will be used to determine which apt index to
use for finding out the set of C<Essential:yes> packages and/or the set of
packages with the right priority for the selected variant. See the section
B<VARIANTS> for more information.

All status output is printed to standard error unless B<--logfile> is used to
redirect it to a file or B<--quiet> or B<--silent> is used to suppress any
output on standard error. Help and version information will be printed to
standard error with the B<--help> and B<--version> options, respectively.
Otherwise, an uncompressed tarball might be sent to standard output if
I<TARGET> is C<-> or if no I<TARGET> was specified.

=head1 OPTIONS

Options are case insensitive. Short options may be bundled. Long options
require a double dash and may be abbreviated to uniqueness.

=over 8

=item B<-h,--help>

Print synopsis and options of this man page and exit.

=item B<--man>

Show the full man page as generated from Perl POD in a pager. This requires
the perldoc program from the perl-doc package. This is the same as running:

    pod2man /usr/bin/mmdebstrap | man -l -

=item B<--version>

Print the B<mmdebstrap> version and exit.

=item B<--variant>=I<name>

Choose which package set to install. Valid variant I<name>s are B<extract>,
B<custom>, B<essential>, B<apt>, B<required>, B<minbase>, B<buildd>,
B<important>, B<debootstrap>, B<->, and B<standard>. The default variant is
B<debootstrap>. See the section B<VARIANTS> for more information.

=item B<--mode>=I<name>

Choose how to perform the chroot operation and create a filesystem with
ownership information different from the current user. Valid mode I<name>s are
B<auto>, B<sudo>, B<root>, B<unshare>, B<fakeroot>, B<fakechroot>, B<proot> and
B<chrootless>.  The default mode is B<auto>. See the section B<MODES> for more
information.

=item B<--format>=I<name>

Choose the output format. Valid format I<name>s are B<auto>, B<directory>,
B<tar>, B<squashfs>, B<ext2> and B<null>. The default format is B<auto>. See
the section B<FORMATS> for more information.

=item B<--aptopt>=I<option>|I<file>

Pass arbitrary I<option>s to apt. Will be permamently added to
F</etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99mmdebstrap> inside the chroot. Use hooks for temporary
configuration options. Can be specified multiple times. Each I<option> will be
appended to 99mmdebstrap. A semicolon will be added at the end of the option if
necessary. If the command line argument is an existing I<file>, the content of
the file will be appended to 99mmdebstrap verbatim.

Example: This is necessary for allowing old timestamps from snapshot.debian.org

    --aptopt='Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false"'
    --aptopt='Apt::Key::gpgvcommand "/usr/libexec/mmdebstrap/gpgvnoexpkeysig"'

Example: Settings controlling download of package description translations

    --aptopt='Acquire::Languages { "environment"; "en"; }'
    --aptopt='Acquire::Languages "none"'

Example: Enable installing Recommends (by default B<mmdebstrap> doesn't)

    --aptopt='Apt::Install-Recommends "true"'

Example: Configure apt-cacher or apt-cacher-ng as an apt proxy

    --aptopt='Acquire::http { Proxy "http://127.0.0.1:3142"; }'

Example: For situations in which the apt sandbox user cannot access the chroot

    --aptopt='APT::Sandbox::User "root"'

Example: Minimizing the number of packages installed from experimental

    --aptopt='APT::Solver "aspcud"'
    --aptopt='APT::Solver::aspcud::Preferences
       "-count(solution,APT-Release:=/a=experimental/),-removed,-changed,-new"'

=item B<--keyring>=I<file>|I<directory>

Change the default keyring to use by apt. By default, F</etc/apt/trusted.gpg>
and F</etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d> are used. Depending on whether a file or
directory is passed to this option, the former and latter default can be
changed, respectively.  Since apt only supports a single keyring file and
directory, respectively, you can B<not> use this option to pass multiple files
and/or directories. Using the C<--keyring> argument in the following way is
equal to keeping the default:

    --keyring=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyring=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d

If you need to pass multiple keyrings, use the C<signed-by> option when
specifying the mirror like this:

    mmdebstrap mysuite out.tar "deb [signed-by=/path/to/key.gpg] http://..."

The C<signed-by> option will automatically be added to the final
C<sources.list> if the keyring required for the selected I<SUITE> is not yet
trusted by apt. Automatically adding the C<signed-by> option in these cases
requires C<gpg> to be installed. If C<gpg> and C<ubuntu-archive-keyring> are
installed, then you can create a Ubuntu Bionic chroot on Debian like this:

    mmdebstrap bionic ubuntu-bionic.tar

The resulting chroot will have a C<source.list> with a C<signed-by> option
pointing to F</usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg>.

=item B<--dpkgopt>=I<option>|I<file>

Pass arbitrary I<option>s to dpkg. Will be permanently added to
F</etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/99mmdebstrap> inside the chroot. Use hooks for temporary
configuration options. Can be specified multiple times. Each I<option> will be
appended to 99mmdebstrap. If the command line argument is an existing I<file>,
the content of the file will be appended to 99mmdebstrap verbatim.

Example: Exclude paths to reduce chroot size

    --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/man/*'
    --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/man/man[1-9]/*'
    --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/locale/*'
    --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/locale/locale.alias'
    --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/*'
    --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/copyright'

=item B<--include>=I<pkg1>[,I<pkg2>,...]

Comma or whitespace separated list of packages which will be installed in
addition to the packages installed by the specified variant. The direct and
indirect hard dependencies will also be installed. The behaviour of this
option depends on the selected variant. The B<extract> and B<custom> variants
install no packages by default, so for these variants, the packages specified
by this option will be the only ones that get either extracted or installed by
dpkg, respectively.  For all other variants, apt is used to install the
additional packages. Package names are directly passed to apt and thus, you
can use apt features like C<pkg/suite>, C<pkg=version>, C<pkg->, use a glob or
regex for C<pkg> or use apt patterns. See apt(8) for the supported
syntax. The option can be specified multiple times and the packages are
concatenated in the order in which they are given on the command line. If
later list items are repeated, then they get dropped so that the resulting
package list is free of duplicates. So the following are equivalent:

    --include="pkg1/stable pkg2=1.0 pkg3-"
    --include=pkg1/stable,pkg2=1.0,pkg3-
    --incl=pkg1/stable --incl="pkg2=1.0 pkg3-" --incl=pkg2=1.0,pkg3-

Example: setting up merged-/usr via the usrmerge package

    --include=usrmerge

=item B<--components>=I<comp1>[,I<comp2>,...]

Comma or whitespace separated list of components like main, contrib and
non-free which will be used for all URI-only I<MIRROR> arguments. The option
can be specified multiple times and the components are concatenated in the
order in which they are given on the command line. If later list items are
repeated, then they get dropped so that the resulting component list is free
of duplicates. So the following are equivalent:

    --components="main contrib non-free"
    --components=main,contrib,non-free
    --comp=main --comp="contrib non-free" --comp="main,non-free"

=item B<--architectures>=I<native>[,I<foreign1>,...]

Comma or whitespace separated list of architectures. The first architecture is
the I<native> architecture inside the chroot. The remaining architectures will
be added to the foreign dpkg architectures. Without this option, the I<native>
architecture of the chroot defaults to the native architecture of the system
running B<mmdebstrap>. The option can be specified multiple times and values
are concatenated. If later list items are repeated, then they get dropped so
that the resulting list is free of duplicates. So the following are
equivalent:

    --architectures="amd64 armhf mipsel"
    --architectures=amd64,armhf,mipsel
    --arch=amd64 --arch="armhf mipsel" --arch=armhf,mipsel

=item B<--simulate>, B<--dry-run>

Run apt-get with B<--simulate>. Only the package cache is initialized but no
binary packages are downloaded or installed. Use this option to quickly check
whether a package selection within a certain suite and variant can in principle
be installed as far as their dependencies go. If the output is a tarball, then
no output is produced. If the output is a directory, then the directory will be
left populated with the skeleton files and directories necessary for apt to run
in it. No hooks are executed in with B<--simulate> or B<--dry-run>.

=item B<--setup-hook>=I<command>

Execute arbitrary I<command>s right after initial setup (directory creation,
configuration of apt and dpkg, ...) but before any packages are downloaded or
installed. At that point, the chroot directory does not contain any
executables and thus cannot be chroot-ed into. See section B<HOOKS> for more
information.

Example 1: Setup merged-/usr via symlinks, omitting the architecture specific
symlinks

    --setup-hook='for d in bin sbin lib; do ln -s usr/$d "$1/$d";
        mkdir -p "$1/usr/$d"; done'

Example 2: Setup merged-/usr using debootstrap-method which takes care of the
architecture specific symlinks

    --setup-hook=/usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/merged-usr/setup00.sh

Example 3: Setup chroot for installing a sub-essential busybox-based chroot
with --variant=custom
--include=dpkg,busybox,libc-bin,base-files,base-passwd,debianutils

    --setup-hook='mkdir -p "$1/bin"'
    --setup-hook='for p in awk cat chmod chown cp diff echo env grep less ln
        mkdir mount rm rmdir sed sh sleep sort touch uname mktemp; do
        ln -s busybox "$1/bin/$p"; done'
    --setup-hook='echo root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh > "$1/etc/passwd"'
    --setup-hook='printf "root:x:0:\nmail:x:8:\nutmp:x:43:\n" > "$1/etc/group"'

For a more elegant way to setup merged-/usr via symlinks and for setting up a
sub-essential busybox-based chroot, see the B<--hook-dir> option below.

=item B<--extract-hook>=I<command>

Execute arbitrary I<command>s after the Essential:yes packages have been
extracted but before installing them. See section B<HOOKS> for more
information.

Example: Install busybox symlinks

    --extract-hook='chroot "$1" /bin/busybox --install -s'

=item B<--essential-hook>=I<command>

Execute arbitrary I<command>s after the Essential:yes packages have been
installed but before installing the remaining packages. The hook is not
executed for the B<extract> and B<custom> variants. See section B<HOOKS> for
more information.

Example: Enable unattended upgrades

    --essential-hook='echo unattended-upgrades
        unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates boolean true
        | chroot "$1" debconf-set-selections'

Example: Select Europe/Berlin as the timezone

    --essential-hook='echo tzdata tzdata/Areas select Europe
        | chroot "$1" debconf-set-selections'
    --essential-hook='echo tzdata tzdata/Zones/Europe select Berlin
        | chroot "$1" debconf-set-selections'

=item B<--customize-hook>=I<command>

Execute arbitrary I<command>s after the chroot is set up and all packages got
installed but before final cleanup actions are carried out. See section
B<HOOKS> for more information.

Example: Preparing a chroot for use with autopkgtest

    --customize-hook='chroot "$1" passwd --delete root'
    --customize-hook='chroot "$1" useradd --home-dir /home/user
        --create-home user'
    --customize-hook='chroot "$1" passwd --delete user'
    --customize-hook='echo host > "$1/etc/hostname"'
    --customize-hook='echo "127.0.0.1 localhost host" > "$1/etc/hosts"'
    --customize-hook=/usr/share/autopkgtest/setup-commands/setup-testbed

=item B<--hook-directory>=I<directory>

Execute scripts in I<directory> with filenames starting with C<setup>,
C<extract>, C<essential> or C<customize>, at the respective stages during an
mmdebstrap run. The files must be marked executable. Their extension is
ignored. Subdirectories are not traversed. This option is a short-hand for
specifying the remaining four hook options individually for each file in the
directory. If there are more than one script for a stage, then they are added
alphabetically. This is useful in cases, where a user wants to run the same
hooks frequently. For example, given a directory C<./hooks> with two scripts
C<setup01-foo.sh> and C<setup02-bar.sh>, this call:

    mmdebstrap --customize=./scriptA --hook-dir=./hooks --setup=./scriptB

is equivalent to this call:

    mmdebstrap --customize=./scriptA --setup=./hooks/setup01-foo.sh \
        --setup=./hooks/setup02-bar.sh --setup=./scriptB

The option can be specified multiple times and scripts are added to the
respective hooks in the order the options are given on the command line. Thus,
if the scripts in two directories depend upon each other, the scripts must be
placed into a common directory and be named such that they get added in the
correct order.

Example 1: Run mmdebstrap with eatmydata

    --hook-dir=/usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/eatmydata

Example 2: Setup chroot for installing a sub-essential busybox-based chroot

    --hook-dir=/usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/busybox

Example 3: Setup merged-/usr using debootstrap-method which takes care of the
architecture specific symlinks

    --hook-dir=/usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/merged-usr

=item B<--skip>=I<stage>[,I<stage>,...]

B<mmdebstrap> tries hard to implement sensible defaults and will try to stop
you before shooting yourself in the foot. This option is for when you are sure
you know what you are doing and allows one to skip certain actions and safety
checks. See section B<OPERATION> for a list of possible arguments and their
context.

=item B<-q,--quiet>, B<-s,--silent>

Do not write anything to standard error. If used together with B<--verbose> or
B<--debug>, only the last option will take effect.

=item B<-v,--verbose>

Instead of progress bars, write the dpkg and apt output directly to standard
error. If used together with B<--quiet> or B<--debug>, only the last option
will take effect.

=item B<-d,--debug>

In addition to the output produced by B<--verbose>, write detailed debugging
information to standard error. Errors will print a backtrace. If used together
with B<--quiet> or B<--verbose>, only the last option will take effect.

=item B<--logfile>=I<filename>

Instead of writing status information to standard error, write it into the
file given by I<filename>.

=back

=head1 MODES

Creating a Debian chroot requires not only permissions for running chroot but
also the ability to create files owned by the superuser. The selected mode
decides which way this is achieved.

=over 8

=item B<auto>

This mode automatically selects a fitting mode. If the effective user id is the
one of the superuser, then the B<sudo> mode is chosen. Otherwise, the
B<unshare> mode is picked if the system has the sysctl
C<kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone> set to C<1>. Should that not be the case
and if the fakechroot binary exists, the B<fakechroot> mode is chosen. Lastly,
the B<proot> mode is used if the proot binary exists.

=item B<sudo>, B<root>

This mode directly executes chroot and is the same mode of operation as is
used by debootstrap. It is the only mode that can directly create a directory
chroot with the right permissions. If the chroot directory is not accessible
by the _apt user, then apt sandboxing will be automatically disabled. This mode
needs to be able to mount and thus requires C<SYS_CAP_ADMIN>.

=item B<unshare>

This mode uses Linux user namespaces to allow unprivileged use of chroot and
creation of files that appear to be owned by the superuser inside the unshared
namespace. A tarball created in this mode should be bit-by-bit identical to a
tarball created with the B<root> mode.

A directory chroot created with this mode will end up with wrong ownership
information. For correct ownership information, the directory must be accessed
from a user namespace with the right subuid/subgid offset, like so:

    $ lxc-usernsexec -- lxc-unshare -s 'MOUNT|PID|UTSNAME|IPC' -- \
    > /usr/sbin/chroot ./debian-rootfs /bin/bash

Or without LXC:

    $ mmdebstrap --unshare-helper /usr/sbin/chroot ./debian-rootfs /bin/bash

Or, if you don't mind using superuser privileges and have systemd-nspawn
available and you know your subuid/subgid offset (100000 in this example):

    $ sudo systemd-nspawn --private-users=100000 \
    > --directory=./debian-rootfs /bin/bash

If this mode is used as the root user, the user namespace is not unshared (but
the mount namespace and other still are) and created directories will have
correct ownership information. This is also useful in cases where the root user
wants the benefits of an unshared mount namespace to prevent accidentally
messing up the system.

=item B<fakeroot>, B<fakechroot>

This mode will exec B<mmdebstrap> again under C<fakechroot fakeroot>. A
directory chroot created with this mode will end up with wrong permissions. If
you need a directory then run B<mmdebstrap> under C<fakechroot fakeroot -s
fakeroot.env> and use C<fakeroot.env> later when entering the chroot with
C<fakechroot fakeroot -i fakeroot.env chroot ...>. This mode will not work if
maintainer scripts are unable to handle C<LD_PRELOAD> correctly like the
package B<initramfs-tools> until version 0.132. This mode will also not work
with a different libc inside the chroot than on the outside. See the section
B<LIMITATIONS> in B<fakechroot(1)>.

=item B<proot>

This mode will carry out all calls to chroot with proot instead. Since
ownership information is only retained while proot is still running, this will
lead to wrong ownership information in the final directory (everything will be
owned by the user that executed B<mmdebstrap>) and tarball (everything will be
owned by the root user). Extended attributes are not retained. This mode is
useful if you plan to use the chroot with proot.

=item B<chrootless>

Uses the dpkg option C<--force-script-chrootless> to install packages into
I<TARGET> without dpkg and apt inside I<TARGET> but using apt and dpkg from the
machine running B<mmdebstrap>. Maintainer scripts are run without chrooting
into I<TARGET> and rely on their dependencies being installed on the machine
running B<mmdebstrap>. Only very few packages support this mode. Namely, as of
2021, not all essential packages support it, mainly due to missing support in
debconf. See https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/Spec/InstallBootstrap or the
dpkg-root-support usertag of debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org in the Debian bug
tracking system. B<WARNING>: if this option is used carelessly with packages
that do not support C<DPKG_ROOT>, this mode can result in undesired changes to
the system running B<mmdebstrap> because maintainer-scripts will be run without
B<chroot(1)>.

=for TODO
=item B<qemu>

=back

=head1 VARIANTS

All package sets also include the direct and indirect hard dependencies (but
not recommends) of the selected package sets. The variants B<minbase>,
B<buildd> and B<->, resemble the package sets that debootstrap would install
with the same I<--variant> argument. The release with a name matching the
I<SUITE> argument as well as the native architecture will be used to determine
the C<Essential:yes> and priority values. To select packages with matching
priority from any suite, specify the empty string for I<SUITE>. The default
variant is B<debootstrap>.

=over 8

=item B<extract>

Installs nothing by default (not even C<Essential:yes> packages). Packages
given by the C<--include> option are extracted but will not be installed.

=item B<custom>

Installs nothing by default (not even C<Essential:yes> packages). Packages
given by the C<--include> option will be installed.  If another mode than
B<chrootless> was selected and dpkg was not part of the included package set,
then this variant will fail because it cannot configure the packages.

=item B<essential>

C<Essential:yes> packages.

=item B<apt>

The B<essential> set plus apt.

=item B<required>, B<minbase>

The B<essential> set plus all packages with Priority:required and apt.
It is roughly equivalent to running mmdebstrap with

    --variant=essential --include="?priority(required)"

=item B<buildd>

The B<minbase> set plus build-essential.
It is roughly equivalent to running mmdebstrap with

    --variant=essential --include="?priority(required),build-essential"

=item B<important>, B<debootstrap>, B<->

The B<required> set plus all packages with Priority:important. This is the
default of debootstrap. It is roughly equivalent to running mmdebstrap with

    --variant=essential --include="~prequired|~pimportant"

=item B<standard>

The B<important> set plus all packages with Priority:standard.
It is roughly equivalent to running mmdebstrap with

    --variant=essential --include="~prequired|~pimportant|~pstandard"

=back

=head1 FORMATS

The output format of B<mmdebstrap> is specified using the B<--format> option.
Without that option the default format is I<auto>. The following formats exist:

=over 8

=item B<auto>

When selecting this format (the default), the actual format will be inferred
from the I<TARGET> positional argument. If I<TARGET> was not specified, then
the B<tar> format will be chosen. If I<TARGET> happens to be F</dev/null> or if
standard output is F</dev/null>, then the B<null> format will be chosen. If
I<TARGET> is an existing directory, and does not equal to C<->, then the
B<directory> format will be chosen. If I<TARGET> ends with C<.tar> or with one
of the filename extensions listed in the section B<COMPRESSION>, or if
I<TARGET> equals C<->, or if I<TARGET> is a named pipe (fifo) or if I<TARGET>
is a character special file, then the B<tar> format will be chosen. If
I<TARGET> ends with C<.squashfs> or C<.sqfs>, then the B<squashfs> format will
be chosen. If <TARGET> ends with C<.ext2> then the B<ext2> format will be
chosen. If none of these conditions apply, the B<directory> format will be
chosen.

=item B<directory>, B<dir>

A chroot directory will be created in I<TARGET>.  If the directory already
exists, it must either be empty or only contain an empty C<lost+found>
directory.  The special I<TARGET> C<-> does not work with this format because a
directory cannot be written to standard output. If you need your directory be
named C<->, then just explicitly pass the relative path to it like F<./->.  If
a directory is chosen as output in any other mode than B<sudo>, then its
contents will have wrong ownership information and special device files will be
missing. Refer to the section B<MODES> for more information.

=item B<tar>

A temporary chroot directory will be created in C<$TMPDIR> or F</tmp> if
C<$TMPDIR> is not set. A tarball of that directory will be stored in I<TARGET>
or sent to standard output if I<TARGET> was omitted or if I<TARGET> equals
C<->.  If I<TARGET> ends with one of the filename extensions listed in the
section B<COMPRESSION>, then a compressed tarball will be created. The tarball
will be in POSIX 1003.1-2001 (pax) format and will contain extended attributes.
To preserve the extended attributes, you have to pass B<--xattrs
--xattrs-include='*'> to tar when extracting the tarball.

=item B<squashfs>, B<sqfs>

A temporary chroot directory will be created in C<$TMPDIR> or F</tmp> if
C<$TMPDIR> is not set. A tarball of that directory will be piped to the
C<tar2sqfs> utility, which will create an xz compressed squashfs image with a
blocksize of 1048576 bytes in I<TARGET>.  The special I<TARGET> C<-> does not
work with this format because C<tar2sqfs> can only write to a regular file. If
you need your squashfs image be named C<->, then just explicitly pass the
relative path to it like F<./->. The C<tar2sqfs> tool only supports a limited
set of extended attribute prefixes. Therefore, extended attributes are disabled
in the resulting image. If you need them, create a tarball first and remove the
extended attributes from its pax headers. Refer to the B<EXAMPLES> section for
how to achieve this.

=item B<ext2>

A temporary chroot directory will be created in C<$TMPDIR> or F</tmp> if
C<$TMPDIR> is not set. A tarball of that directory will be piped to the
C<genext2fs> utility, which will create an ext2 image that will be
approximately 90% full in I<TARGET>.  The special I<TARGET> C<-> does not work
with this format because C<genext2fs> can only write to a regular file. If you
need your ext2 image be named C<->, then just explicitly pass the relative path
to it like F<./->. To convert the result to an ext3 image, use C<tune2fs -O
has_journal TARGET> and to convert it to ext4, use C<tune2fs -O
extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,has_journal TARGET>. Since C<genext2fs> does not
support extended attributes, the resulting image will not contain them.

=item B<null>

A temporary chroot directory will be created in C<$TMPDIR> or F</tmp> if
C<$TMPDIR> is not set. After the bootstrap is complete, the temporary chroot
will be deleted without being part of the output. This is most useful when the
desired artifact is generated inside the chroot and it is transferred using
special hooks such as B<sync-out>. It is also useful in situations where only
the exit code or stdout or stderr of a process run in a hook is of interest.

=back

=head1 HOOKS

This section describes properties of the hook options B<--setup-hook>,
B<--extract-hook>, B<--essential-hook> and B<--customize-hook> which are common
to all four of them. Any information specific to each hook is documented under
the specific hook options in the section B<OPTIONS>.

The options can be specified multiple times and the commands are executed in
the order in which they are given on the command line. There are four
different types of hook option arguments. If the argument passed to the hook
option starts with C<copy-in>, C<copy-out>, C<tar-in>, C<tar-out>, C<upload> or
C<download> followed by a space, then the hook is interpreted as a special
hook. Otherwise, if I<command> is an existing executable file from C<$PATH> or
if I<command> does not contain any shell metacharacters, then I<command> is
directly exec-ed with the path to the chroot directory passed as the first
argument. Otherwise, I<command> is executed under I<sh> and the chroot
directory can be accessed via I<$1>. All environment variables set by
B<mmdebstrap> (like C<APT_CONFIG>, C<DEBIAN_FRONTEND>, C<LC_ALL> and C<PATH>)
are preserved. All environment variables set by the user are preserved, except
for C<TMPDIR> which is cleared. See section B<TMPDIR>.

The paths inside the chroot are relative to the root directory of the chroot.
The path on the outside is relative to current directory of the original
B<mmdebstrap> invocation. The path inside the chroot must already exist. Paths
outside the chroot are created as necessary.

In B<fakechroot> and B<proot> mode, C<tar>, or C<sh> and C<cat> have to be run
inside the chroot or otherwise, symlinks will be wrongly resolved and/or
permissions will be off. This means that the special hooks might fail in
B<fakechroot> and B<proot> mode for the B<setup> hook or for the B<extract> and
B<custom> variants if no C<tar> or C<sh> and C<cat> is available inside the
chroot.

=over 8

=item B<copy-out> I<pathinside> [I<pathinside> ...] I<pathoutside>

Recursively copies one or more files and directories recursively from
I<pathinside> inside the chroot to I<pathoutside> outside of the chroot.

=item B<copy-in> I<pathoutside> [I<pathoutside> ...] I<pathinside>

Recursively copies one or more files and directories into the chroot into,
placing them into I<pathinside> inside of the chroot.

=item B<sync-out> I<pathinside> I<pathoutside>

Recursively copy everything inside I<pathinside> inside the chroot into
I<pathoutside>. In contrast to B<copy-out>, this command synchronizes the
content of I<pathinside> with the content of I<pathoutside> without deleting
anything from I<pathoutside> but overwriting content as necessary. Use this
command over B<copy-out> if you don't want to create a new directory outside
the chroot but only update the content of an existing directory.

=item B<sync-in> I<pathoutside> I<pathinside>

Recursively copy everything inside I<pathoutside> into I<pathinside> inside the
chroot. In contrast to B<copy-in>, this command synchronizes the content of
I<pathoutside> with the content of I<pathinside> without deleting anything from
I<pathinside> but overwriting content as necessary. Use this command over
B<copy-in> if you don't want to create a new directory inside the chroot but
only update the content of an existing directory.

=item B<tar-in> I<outside.tar> I<pathinside>

Unpacks a tarball I<outside.tar> from outside the chroot into a certain
location I<pathinside> inside the chroot.

=item B<tar-out> I<pathinside> I<outside.tar>

Packs the path I<pathinside> from inside the chroot into a tarball, placing it
into a certain location I<outside.tar> outside the chroot.

=item B<download> I<fileinside> I<fileoutside>

Copy the file given by I<fileinside> from inside the chroot to outside the
chroot as I<fileoutside>. In contrast to B<copy-out>, this command only
handles files and not directories. To copy a directory recursively out of the
chroot, use B<copy-out> or B<tar-out>. Its advantage is, that by being able to
specify the full path on the outside, including the filename, the file on the
outside can have a different name from the file on the inside. In contrast to
B<copy-out> and B<tar-out>, this command follows symlinks.

=item B<upload> I<fileoutside> I<fileinside>

Copy the file given by I<fileoutside> from outside the chroot to inside the
chroot as I<fileinside>. In contrast to B<copy-in>, this command only
handles files and not directories. To copy a directory recursively into the
chroot, use B<copy-in> or B<tar-in>. Its advantage is, that by being able to
specify the full path on the inside, including the filename, the file on the
inside can have a different name from the file on the outside. In contrast to
B<copy-in> and B<tar-in>, permission and ownership information will not be
retained.

=back

=head1 OPERATION

This section gives an overview of the different steps to create a chroot.

=over 8

=item B<check>

Upon startup, several checks are carried out, like:

=over 4

=item * whether required utilities (apt, dpkg, tar) are installed

=item * which mode to use and whether prerequisites are met

=item * whether the requested architecture can be executed (requires arch-test) using qemu binfmt_misc support. This requires arch-test and can be disabled using B<--skip=check/qemu>

=item * how the apt sources can be assembled from I<SUITE>, I<MIRROR> and B<--components> and/or from standard input as deb822 or one-line format and whether the required GPG keys exist.

=item * which output format to pick depending on the B<--format> argument or name of I<TARGET> or its type.

=item * whether the output directory is empty. This check can be disabled using B<--skip=check/empty>

=back

=item B<setup>

The following tasks are carried out unless B<--skip=setup> is used:

=over 4

=item * create required directories

=item * write out the temporary apt config file

=item * populates F</etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99mmdebstrap> and F</etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/99mmdebstrap> with config options from B<--aptopt> and B<--dpkgopt>, respectively

=item * write out F</etc/apt/sources.list>

=item * copy over F</etc/resolv.conf> and F</etc/hostname>

=item * populate F</dev> if mknod is possible

=back

=item B<setup-hook>

Run B<--setup-hook> options and all F<setup*> scripts in B<--hook-dir>.

=item B<update>

Runs C<apt-get update> using the temporary apt configuration file created in
the B<setup> step. This can be disabled using B<--skip=update>.

=item B<download>

Checks whether F</var/cache/apt/archives/> is empty. This can be disabled with
B<--skip=download/empty>. In the B<extract> and B<custom> variants, C<apt-get
--download-only install> is used to download all the packages requested via the
B<--include> option. The B<apt> variant uses the fact that libapt treats the
C<apt> packages as implicitly essential to download only all C<Essential:yes>
packages plus apt using C<apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade>. In the
remaining variants, all Packages files downloaded by the B<update> step are
inspected to find the C<Essential:yes> package set as well as all packages of
the required priority.

=item B<extract>

Extract the downloaded packages into the rootfs.

=item B<extract-hook>

Run B<--extract-hook> options and all F<extract*> scripts in B<--hook-dir>.

=item B<prepare>

In B<fakechroot> mode, environment variables C<LD_LIBRARY_PATH> will be set up
correctly. If the chroot requires the qemu-user-static binary it will be copied
in. For foreign B<fakechroot> environments, C<LD_LIBRARY_PATH> and
C<QEMU_LD_PREFIX> are set up accordingly. This step is not carried out in
>B<extract> mode and neither for the B<chrootless> variant.

=item B<essential>

Uses C<dpkg --install> to properly install all packages that have been
extracted before. Removes all packages downloaded in the B<download> step,
except those which were present in F</var/cache/apt/archives/> before (if any).
This can be disabled using B<--skip=essential/unlink>. This step is not carried
out in B<extract> mode.

=item B<essential-hook>

Run B<--essential-hook> options and all F<essential*> scripts in B<--hook-dir>.
This step is not carried out in B<extract> mode.

=item B<install>

Install the apt package into the chroot, if necessary and then run apt from
inside the chroot to install all remaining packages. This step is not carried
out in B<extract> mode.

=item B<customize-hook>

Run B<--customize-hook> options and all F<customize*> scripts in B<--hook-dir>.
This step is not carried out in B<extract> mode.

=item B<cleanup>

Performs cleanup tasks, unless B<--skip=cleanup> is used:

=over 4

=item * Removes the package lists (unless B<--skip=cleanup/apt/lists>) and apt cache (unless B<--skip=cleanup/apt/cache>). Both removals can be disabled by using B<--skip=cleanup/apt>.

=item * Remove all files that were put into the chroot for setup purposes, like F</etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00mmdebstrap>, the temporary apt config and the qemu-user-static binary. This can be disabled using B<--skip=cleanup/mmdebstrap>.

=item * Remove files that make the result unreproducible and write "uninitialized" to /etc/machine-id if it exists. This can be disabled using B<--skip=cleanup/reproducible>. Note that this will not remove files that make the result unreproducible on machines with differing F</etc/resolv.conf> or F</etc/hostname>. Use a B<--customize-hook> to make those two files reproducible across multiple hosts. See section C<SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH> for more information. The following files will be removed:

=over 4

=item * F</var/log/dpkg.log>

=item * F</var/log/apt/history.log>

=item * F</var/log/apt/term.log>

=item * F</var/log/alternatives.log>

=item * F</var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache>

=item * F</var/log/apt/eipp.log.xz>

=item * F</var/lib/dbus/machine-id>

=back

=item * Remove everything in F</tmp> inside the chroot. This can be disabled using B<--skip=cleanup/tmp>.

=back

For formats other than B<directory>, pack up the temporary chroot directory
into a tarball, ext2 image or squashfs image and delete the temporary chroot
directory.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES

Use like debootstrap:

    $ sudo mmdebstrap unstable ./unstable-chroot

Without superuser privileges:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable unstable-chroot.tar

With no command line arguments at all. The chroot content is entirely defined
by a sources.list file on standard input.

    $ mmdebstrap < /etc/apt/sources.list > unstable-chroot.tar

Since the tarball is output on stdout, members of it can be excluded using tar
on-the-fly. For example the /dev directory can be removed from the final
tarbal in cases where it is to be extracted by a non-root user who cannot
create device nodes:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable | tar --delete ./dev > unstable-chroot.tar

Instead of a tarball, a squashfs image can be created:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable unstable-chroot.squashfs

By default, B<mmdebstrap> runs B<tar2sqfs> with C<--no-skip --exportable
--compressor xz --block-size 1048576>. To choose a different set of options,
and to filter out all extended attributes not supported by B<tar2sqfs>, pipe
the output of B<mmdebstrap> into B<tar2sqfs> manually like so:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable \
        | mmtarfilter --pax-exclude='*' \
            --pax-include='SCHILY.xattr.user.*' \
            --pax-include='SCHILY.xattr.trusted.*' \
            --pax-include='SCHILY.xattr.security.*' \
        | tar2sqfs --quiet --no-skip --force --exportable --compressor xz \
            --block-size 1048576 unstable-chroot.squashfs

By default, debootstrapping a stable distribution will add mirrors for security
and updates to the sources.list.

    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar

If you don't want this behaviour, you can override it by manually specifying a
mirror in various different ways:

    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar http://deb.debian.org/debian
    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stable main"
    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar /path/to/sources.list
    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar - < /path/to/sources.list

Drop locales (but not the symlink to the locale name alias database),
translated manual packages (but not the untranslated ones), and documentation
(but not copyright and Debian changelog).

    $ mmdebstrap --variant=essential \
        --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/man/*' \
        --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/man/man[1-9]/*' \
        --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/locale/*' \
        --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/locale/locale.alias' \
        --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/*' \
        --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/copyright' \
        --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/changelog.Debian.*' \
        unstable debian-unstable.tar

Create a bootable USB Stick that boots into a full Debian desktop:

    $ mmdebstrap --aptopt='Apt::Install-Recommends "true"' --customize-hook \
        'chroot "$1" adduser --gecos user --disabled-password user' \
        --customize-hook='echo 'user:live' | chroot "$1" chpasswd' \
        --customize-hook='echo host > "$1/etc/hostname"' \
        --customize-hook='echo "127.0.0.1 localhost host" > "$1/etc/hosts"' \
        --include=linux-image-amd64,task-desktop unstable debian-unstable.tar
    $ cat << END > extlinux.conf
    > default linux
    > timeout 0
    >
    > label linux
    > kernel /vmlinuz
    > append initrd=/initrd.img root=LABEL=rootfs
    END
    # You can use $(sudo blockdev --getsize64 /dev/sdXXX) to get the right
    # image size for the target medium in bytes
    $ guestfish -N debian-unstable.img=disk:8G -- \
        part-disk /dev/sda mbr : \
        part-set-bootable /dev/sda 1 true : \
        set-label /dev/sda1 rootfs : \
        mkfs ext4 /dev/sda1 : mount /dev/sda1 / : \

        extlinux / : copy-in extlinux.conf / : sync : umount / : shutdown
    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1G -enable-kvm debian-unstable.img
    $ sudo dd if=debian-unstable.img of=/dev/sdXXX status=progress

On architectures without extlinux you can also boot using grub2:

    $ mmdebstrap --include=linux-image-amd64,grub2,systemd-sysv unstable fs.tar
    $ guestfish -N debian-unstable.img=disk:2G -- \
        part-disk /dev/sda mbr : \
        part-set-bootable /dev/sda 1 true : \
        set-label /dev/sda1 rootfs : \
        mkfs ext4 /dev/sda1 : mount /dev/sda1 / : \
        tar-in fs.tar / xattrs:true : \
        command "grub-install /dev/sda" : \
        command update-grub : \
        sync : umount / : shutdown
    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1G -enable-kvm debian-unstable.img

Build libdvdcss2.deb without installing installing anything or changing apt
sources on the current system:

    $ mmdebstrap --variant=apt --components=main,contrib --include=libdvd-pkg \
        --customize-hook='chroot $1 /usr/lib/libdvd-pkg/b-i_libdvdcss.sh' \
        | tar --extract --verbose --strip-components=4 \
            --wildcards './usr/src/libdvd-pkg/libdvdcss2_*_*.deb'
    $ ls libdvdcss2_*_*.deb

Use as replacement for autopkgtest-build-qemu and vmdb2:

    $ mmdebstrap --variant=important --include=linux-image-amd64 \
        --customize-hook='chroot "$1" passwd --delete root' \
        --customize-hook='chroot "$1" useradd --home-dir /home/user --create-home user' \
        --customize-hook='chroot "$1" passwd --delete user' \
        --customize-hook='echo host > "$1/etc/hostname"' \
        --customize-hook='echo "127.0.0.1 localhost host" > "$1/etc/hosts"' \
        --customize-hook=/usr/share/autopkgtest/setup-commands/setup-testbed \
        unstable debian-unstable.tar
    $ cat << END > extlinux.conf
    > default linux

    END
    $ guestfish -N debian-unstable.img=disk:8G -- \
        part-disk /dev/sda mbr : \
        part-set-bootable /dev/sda 1 true : \

    $ qemu-img convert -O qcow2 debian-unstable.img debian-unstable.qcow2

As a debootstrap wrapper to run it without superuser privileges but using Linux
user namespaces instead. This fixes Debian bug #829134.

    $ mmdebstrap --variant=custom --mode=unshare \
        --setup-hook='env container=lxc debootstrap unstable "$1"' \
        - debian-debootstrap.tar

Build a non-Debian chroot like Ubuntu bionic:

    $ mmdebstrap --aptopt='Dir::Etc::Trusted
       "/usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-keyring-2012-archive.gpg"' bionic bionic.tar

If, for some reason, you cannot use a caching proxy like apt-cacher or
apt-cacher-ng, you can use the B<sync-in> and B<sync-out> special hooks to
synchronize a directory outside the chroot with F</var/cache/apt/archives>
inside the chroot.

    $ mmdebstrap --variant=apt --skip=download/empty --skip=essential/unlink \
        --setup-hook='mkdir -p ./cache "$1"/var/cache/apt/archives/' \
        --setup-hook='sync-in ./cache /var/cache/apt/archives/' \
        --customize-hook='sync-out /var/cache/apt/archives ./cache' \
        unstable /dev/null

Create a system that can be used with docker:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable | sudo docker import - debian
    [...]
    $ sudo docker run -it --rm debian whoami
    root
    $ sudo docker rmi debian

Create a system that can be used with podman:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable | podman import - debian
    [...]
    $ podman run --network=none -it --rm debian whoami
    root
    $ podman rmi debian

As a docker/podman replacement:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable | mmtarfilter --path-exclude='/dev/*' > chroot.tar
    [...]
    $ mmdebstrap --variant=custom --skip=update \
        --setup-hook='tar-in chroot.tar /' \
        --customize-hook='chroot "$1" whoami' unstable /dev/null
    [...]
    root
    $ rm chroot.tar

=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

=over 8

=item C<SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH>

By setting C<SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH> the result will be reproducible across multiple
runs with the same options and mirror content. Note that for debootstrap
compatibility, B<mmdebstrap> will copy the host's F</etc/resolv.conf> and
F</etc/hostname> into the chroot. This means that the B<mmdebstrap> output will
differ if it is run on machines with differing F</etc/resolv.conf> and
F</etc/hostname> contents. To make the result reproducible across different
hosts, you need to manually either delete both files from the output:

    $ mmdebstrap --customize-hook='rm "$1"/etc/resolv.conf' \
                 --customize-hook='rm "$1"/etc/hostname' ...

or fill them with reproducible content:

    $ mmdebstrap --customize-hook='echo nameserver X > "$1"/etc/resolv.conf' \
                 --customize-hook='echo host > "$1"/etc/hostname' ...

=item C<TMPDIR>

When creating a tarball, a temporary directory is populated with the rootfs
before the tarball is packed. The location of that temporary directory will be
in F</tmp> or the location pointed to by C<TMPDIR> if that environment variable
is set.

Since C<TMPDIR> is only valid outside the chroot, the variable is being unset
when running hook scripts. If you need a valid temporary directory in a hook,
consider using F</tmp> inside your target directory.

=back

=head1 DEBOOTSTRAP

This section lists some differences to debootstrap.

=over 8

=item * More than one mirror possible

=item * Default mirrors for stable releases include updates and security mirror

=item * Multiple ways to operate as non-root: fakechroot, proot, unshare

=item * twice as fast

=item * Can create a chroot with only C<Essential:yes> packages and their deps

=item * Reproducible output by default if $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set

=item * Can create output on filesystems with nodev set

=item * apt cache and lists are cleaned at the end

=item * foreign architecture chroots using qemu-user

=back

Limitations in comparison to debootstrap:

=over 8

=item * Only runs on systems with apt installed (Debian and derivatives)

=item * No I<SCRIPT> argument (use hooks instead)

=item * Some debootstrap options don't exist, namely:

I<--second-stage>, I<--exclude>, I<--resolve-deps>, I<--force-check-gpg>,
I<--merged-usr> and I<--no-merged-usr>

=back

=head1 COMPRESSION

B<mmdebstrap> will choose a suitable compressor for the output tarball
depending on the filename extension. The following mapping from filename
extension to compressor applies:

 extension compressor
 --------------------
 .tar      none
 .gz       gzip
 .tgz      gzip
 .taz      gzip
 .Z        compress
 .taZ      compress
 .bz2      bzip2
 .tbz      bzip2
 .tbz2     bzip2
 .tz2      bzip2
 .lz       lzip
 .lzma     lzma
 .tlz      lzma
 .lzo      lzop
 .lz4      lz4
 .xz       xz
 .txz      xz
 .zst      zstd

To change compression specific options, either use the respecitve environment
variables like B<XZ_OPT> or send B<mmdebstrap> output to your compressor of
choice with a pipe.

=head1 BUGS

https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/mmdebstrap/issues

https://bugs.debian.org/src:mmdebstrap

As of version 1.20.9, dpkg does not provide facilities preventing it from
reading the dpkg configuration of the machine running B<mmdebstrap>.
Therefore, until this dpkg limitation is fixed, a default dpkg configuration is
recommended on machines running B<mmdebstrap>. If you are using B<mmdebstrap>
as the non-root user, then as a workaround you could run C<chmod 600
/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/*> so that the config files are only accessible by the
root user. See Debian bug #808203.

The C<file://> URI type cannot be used to install the essential packages. This
is because B<mmdebstrap> uses dpkg to install the packages that apt places into
F</var/cache/apt/archives> but with C<file://> apt will not copy the files even
with C<--download-only>. Use C<copy://> instead, which is equivalent to
C<file://> but copies the archives into F</var/cache/apt/archives>.

With apt versions before 2.1.16, setting C<[trusted=yes]> or
C<Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories "1"> to allow signed archives without a
known public key or unsigned archives will fail because of a gpg warning in the
apt output. Since apt does not communicate its status via any other means than
human readable strings, and because B<mmdebstrap> wants to treat transient
network errors as errors, B<mmdebstrap> treats any warning from "apt-get
update" as an error.
