2.2. Reverting to lorax-composer Image Builder backend

The osbuild-composer backend, though much more extensible, does not currently achieve feature parity with the previous lorax-composer backend.

To revert to the previous backend, follow the steps:

Prerequisites

  • You have installed the osbuild-composer package

Procedure

  1. Remove the osbuild-composer backend. 

    # yum remove osbuild-composer

  2. In the /etc/yum.conf file, add an exclude entry for osbuild-composer package. 

    # cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=True
skip_if_unavailable=False
exclude=osbuild-composer

  3. Install the "lorax-composer" package. 

    # yum install lorax-composer
