Uplosi — Upload OS images to cloud provider

Installation

With Go installed on your system, run the following command:

go install github.com/edgelesssys/uplosi@latest

Alternatively, you can download the binary from the releases page.

Uploading OS Images

The main purpose of uplosi is to upload OS images to cloud providers. Uploading images requires a configuration file to be present in the current working directory.

Usage

uplosi upload <image> [flags]

Examples

# edit uplosi.conf, then run
uplosi upload image.raw -i

Flags

• --disable-variant-glob string: list of variant name globs to disable
• --enable-variant-glob string: list of variant name globs to enable
• -h,--help: help for uplosi
• -i,--increment-version: increment version number after upload
• -v: version for uplosi

Configuration

Uplosi requires configuration files in TOML format to be present in the user's workspace (CWD). Namely, the following files are read:

• uplosi.conf — the main configuration file, read first
• uplosi.conf.d/*.conf — (optional) additional configuration files, read in alphabetical order

Any settings specified in the additional configuration files will override the settings specified in the main configuration file. The configuration has the following structure:

[base]

# Base configuration that is applied to every variant.

[variant.<name>] # e.g. variant.default

# Variant specific configuration that overrides the base configuration.

Example

[base]
imageVersion = "1.2.3"
name = "my-image"

[base.aws]
# AWS specific configuration that is applied to every variant.
region = "eu-central-1"
replicationRegions = ["us-east-2", "ap-south-1"]
bucket = "my-bucket"
publish = true

[base.azure]
# Azure specific configuration that is applied to every variant.
subscriptionID = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
location = "northeurope"
resourceGroup = "my-rg"
sharedImageGallery = "my_gallery"
sharingNamePrefix = "myshared"

[base.gcp]
# GCP specific configuration that is applied to every variant.
project = "myproject-123456"
location = "europe-west3"
bucket = "my-bucket"

[base.openstack]
# OpenStack specific configuration that is applied to every variant.
cloud = "mycloud"
tags = ["tag-a", "tag-b"]
minDiskGB = 32

[variant.foo]
# Variant specific configuration that overrides the base configuration.
provider = "aws"
imageVersionFile = "foo-version.txt" # overrides base.imageVersion

[variant.foo.aws]
# Variant specific configuration that overrides the base.aws configuration.
replicationRegions = []
publish = false

[variant.bar]
# Variant specific configuration that overrides the base configuration.
provider = "azure"

[variant.bar.azure]
# Variant specific configuration that overrides the base.azure configuration.
resourceGroup = "my-rg-bar" # overrides base.azure.resourceGroup

Calculating TPM PCR Values

Warning

This command is highly experimental. It does not account for all PCRs and all possibilities of their measurements, is only tested in a very specific environment and should not be used in production use-cases.

Uplosi can also, from a given raw disk image, calculate TPM PCR values (Namely PCRs 4, 9, and 11) ahead of the image boot to allow to craft remote attestation policies for images. It requires systemd-dissect to be present in $PATH.

Usage

sudo uplosi measurements <image> [flags]

Examples

sudo uplosi measurements image.raw --output-file pcrs.json

Flags

• --output-file string: path to a JSON file the output should be written to
• --uki-path string: path to the unified kernel image (UKI) within the ESP of the image (default: /boot/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI)
• -h,--help: help for uplosi
• -v: version for uplosi
