[systemd-devel] mkosi config to build minimal Ubuntu 22.04 VM image?

[Daan De Meyer]

Hi Paul,

Please see the config included in the mkosi repository itself:
https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/blob/main/mkosi.conf and
https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/tree/main/mkosi.conf.d. This should
help you get started. https://mkosi.systemd.io/bootable.html shows how
to build a minimal bootable image for different distributions. mkosi
doesn't concern itself with which packages are installed in the image.
Please refer to your distribution of choice for that.

Cheers,

Daan
