Hi all, For the purposes of a CI service [1], I want to write a script that generates a fresh qcow2 FreeBSD image. So far I've been using bsdinstall(8) and this has been working well when testing locally [2]. However this doesn't work when run from SSH because bsdinstall(8) uses dialog(1), which requires a TTY (or fails). I've been wondering: you offer qcow2 images available for download on your website, but how are these generated? I don't think I can use these directly since I need to enable sshd, but I could probably re-use your image generation script. If it's not possible to use the same script, do you have suggestions to make it work? Thanks, [1]: https://sr.ht [2]: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/builds.sr.ht/tree/master/images/freebsd/ge= nimg -- Simon Ser https://emersion.fr
