Installation automated?

[Dennis Nuesser]

I'd like to install Android x86 on my server. In order to deploy the OS containerized on Kubernetes, I'm interested in learning, if there is a way to install the OS without using the GUI interface?

If there is no way in doing so, it would be great to know which files in the operating system are affected by the user's decision in the installer. The easiest way would to run Android x86 in a VM and copying those files for a docker build.

Hope someone can enlighten me on this issue.

Cheers

Is the "Auto Installation" (in advanced menu) what you want?
(ref: https://www.android-x86.org/installhowto.html )

If you want to install android-x86 "manually", you can just copy
the four files: kernel, initrd.img, ramdisk.img and system.sfs
from the iso and create a boot entry for it.
The boot entry should kernel + initrd.img with cmdline.
The cmdline should specify SRC=/dir which is the
subdirectory containing the four files.
