Image Builder: vice versa FILES - remove file from image

I want to remove unwanted files from the image. for example I do not need an /etc/config/openvpn_recipes. Can this be done somehow?

(Moved to the For Developers section.)

That file isn't included by default on the images made by the build bot. How did it get there?

Do you want to build an image and leave out a file, or do you want to remove a file from an existing image?

he exsists if install openvpn-openssl package

I can not correctly embed postfix in squashfs - directory owner in /usr/var/spool/postfix are not set correctly. I want to remove it from the squashfs and place it on /overlay.
But I'll probably fix the include/rootfs.mk to solve this problem

+1 for that request. I want to delete /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/system.lua to block access to that particular page, and I couldn't find any easier way to do it. Replacing it with an empty file throws errors. I understand there may be a better way to do what I need, but can someone please answer to OP question, that is "vice versa FILES - remove file from image"?
Thanks!

Try either or both:

  • Include a "neutered" or empty file
  • Put a script in /etc/uci-defaults/ to remove it
