4.6. Adding a source to a blueprint

The sources defined in Image Builder provide the contents that you can add to blueprints. These sources are global and therefore available to all blueprints. The System sources are repositories that are set up locally on your computer and cannot be removed from Image Builder. You can add additional custom sources and thus be able to access other contents than the System sources available on your system.

The following steps describe how to add a Source to your local system.

Prerequisites

  • You have opened the Image Builder interface of the RHEL 8 web console in a browser.
