To create or update an addon, you need a specific file structure for the directory containing your addon files. In the directory where you created your addon files, also create the following:
- A file named
manifest.yaml. See Addon manifest to learn about valid keys in an addon manifest file. - A directory named
hooks. This directory must contain at least one executable file with a valid hook name.
Other files in the addon directory are bundled with the addon. They can be accessed in a hook by using the $ADDON_DIR environment variable.
For example:
cat "$ADDON_DIR"/public_key.pem >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
To create an addon, you must provide the Anbox Management Client (AMC) with either of the following:
- The addon directory
- A tarball containing the required addon file structure
- A zip archive containing the required addon file structure
