Debian Quick Image Baker pre-baked images

Here you can download pre-baked images created by DQIB. Each downloadable file is a ZIP archive containing the root filesystem, kernel, initrd and a readme text file (which includes launch command and auth info). Have fun and report bugs to the GitLab project.

For more information see DQIB's README or this blog post.

Any help on how to make work the architectures that currently don't work is greatly welcome!

Release architectures

• Images for amd64-pc
• Images for arm64-virt
• Images for armhf-virt
• Images for ppc64el-pseries
• Images for riscv64-virt
• Images for s390x-virt

Ports architectures

• Images for alpha-clipper (currently not working; I have no idea about how to make it work)
• Images for hppa-hppa
• Images for loong64-virt (currently not working; for sure it requires this patch series, but it's not enough: the kernel boots and it quickly crashes in the i8042 driver)
• Images for m68k-q800 (requires rather recent versions of QEMU; version 5.1 seems fine)
• Images for powerpc-g3beige
• Images for ppc64-pseries
• Images for sh4-r2d (currently not working; I have no idea about how to make it work, but this thread might be a starting point)
• Images for sparc64-sun4u

Older ports

These ports used to exist in Debian, but don't any more. I saved the latest image successfully generated by DQIB. It might be hard, though, to install other packages.

• Images for armel-raspi2 (I was never able to make it work anyway)
• Images for i386-pc (the port still exists, but the Linux kernel is not built any more, so no newer DQIB images can be generated)
• Images for mips64el-malta (the port doesn't exist anymore)
• Images for mipsel-malta used to exist, but the port doesn't exist any more and I failed to save a copy of the last generated image, sorry

Unsupported ports

• No work has been done for loong64 yet, but in theory it should work
• x32 is not an actual architecture, but a different data model and ABI on top of amd64 CPUs; therefore it does not really fit DQIB's model, although at some point we could provide an x32 chroot
• non-Linux ports (of which hurd-amd64 and hurd-i386 are currently the only survivors) are not supported because I do not know how to bootstrap them from a Linux machine

Other images

Stuff in this section is not related to DQIB, but if you're looking for Debian images for less common platforms you might find something interesting here.

• Images for hurd-i386 (maintained by Debian; run with: qemu-system-i386 -machine pc -cpu coreduo -m 1G -drive file=debian-hurd-*.img; login as root, without password)
