scripting chroot, how to?
Create a second script (e.g. chroot.sh
) and place it in your chroot/
folder.
Now edit the command in your original script to this:
chroot chroot/ ./chroot.sh
Now the script chroot.sh
will be executed inside your chroot
.
you should go with simple solution like pipe:
cat << EOF | chroot chroot
rm -rf /
EOF
PS. joking about rm -rf, anything inside EOF is run inside your chrooted directory, you can also use sudo if you like:
cat << EOF | sudo chroot chroot
ls /
EOF
The thing about chroot
s and /proc
, /sys
and /dev/pts
is that these three filesystems are provided by the kernel, so they remain the same whether you mount within the chroot or from without. Indeed, you'll see, earlier on in the instructions:
sudo mount --bind /dev chroot/dev
/dev
is populated by the kernel, but is not a kernel-provided filesystem, so it had to be bind-mounted. Therefore, in practice, you'll see that mounting it using bind mounts (or otherwise) before entering the chroot works just as well (assume sudo
):
for i in dev proc sys dev/pts
do
mount -o bind /$i chroot/$i
done
chroot chroot
for i in dev/pts proc sys dev
do
umount -chroot/$i
done
# or
mount -o bind /dev chroot/dev
mount -t sysfs none chroot/sys
mount -t proc none chroot/proc
mount -t devpts none chroot/dev/pts
chroot chroot
for i in dev/pts proc sys dev
do
umount -chroot/$i
done
Relevant reading:
- mount dev, proc, sys in a chroot environment?
- Which of proc, sys etc. should be bind-mounted (or not) when chrooting into a “replacement” distribution?
- Automate chroot into broken system
