Sometimes the manifest file is filesystem.manifest-remove and sometimes filesystem.manifest-desktop.
We should create both or check and use only one.

Currently, we only create the filesystem.manifest-desktop version.

It seems to be easier to use rsync instead of cp to copy the iso content without the filesystem.squashfs:

When using a iso image to create a docker image, the docker image should be named after the iso image.
They should be pushed to dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/u/codersosimages

Based on this we can mount the filesystem and not copy it to the hard drive.

CHeck if the manifest file represent what they should: Is everything listed as expected? What does the manifest file mean?

See meilix for an example and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch for guidance.

This is also a very small image we can use as a basis:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/yakkety/release/

there is a variable cache that needs to be moved back. Best to do this before anything else.

• add install docker command: wget -0- https://get.docker.com | bash if docker is not installed
• tell the user to log in if it is not pushed and get access to dokerhub

The how to change the image can be copied from the ubuntu remix repository.

It might be possible that we can only build amd64 with this as docker is only supported on amd64.
Check if a i386 image works.

Meilix creates a 32 bit boot also for efi.
Maybe we can copy parts of the meilix installation for the docker/toiso folder.

Add the Ubuntu server image:

• it has EFI boot
• we will need to modify it so it works as a live image instead of a install image Therefore, we can have a look at the boot menus of other isos.
