Vbox_image This repo contains the recipe to create a Virtualbox image that can be used with BOINC. Tested with Debian 12.5 netinstall. |

Does this script run cleanup command to reduce file size? like qemu-img compact --filesystemaware --filename <filename> Because rosetta needs that. |

Does this script run cleanup command to reduce file size? Maybe. The Debian netinst is less than 700mb. The size of premade vdi image is 1.8Gb and the size of rosetta vdi is 5 gb. I don't the size of the rosetta app/db/libraries |

I think it was 10 gb with new workunits. |

I think it was 10 gb with new workunits. When you download the ".vdi" file, it's 5Gb When the wu starts it becomes 10/12 gb |

I think it downloads gzip compressed and unpacks after download. |

I think it downloads gzip compressed and unpacks after download. Maybe. We don't know anything about this app (linux version, libraries, etc) |

If you are curious about the details, you can just watch it yourself. This is a standard image compatible with Oracle VM VirtualBox and if you start it from VirtualBox Manager (instead of BOINC) you can explore and see everything. I did this over a year ago when I was trying to optimize work of R@H Python jobs. But I don't remember the details anymore, because no good results came out of this and I just opted-out from this type of task and deleted the downloaded V-box images and the VM VirtualBox itself because no other DC projects in which I participate use it. |

Seems not a problem. No Rosetta vbox wus since....well, i don't remember. A dead road?? |
