So TIL: one doesn't have to use Fedora CoreOS to get an atomic server-oriented system.

Instead of uCore, I can have my BlueBuild setup use quay.io/fedora/fedora-bootc or even quay.io/fedora/centos-bootc as the base image. I can then build an Anaconda installer ISO from this bootc image and install it the normal way instead of using ignition files.

Super cool!

I have to make sure everything I used on uCore is available in the final fedora-bootc image.

  • ZFS
  • libvirt
  • firewalld
  • fwupd-efi
  • podman
  • podman-compose
  • Tailscale
  • tuned-profiles-atomic
  • distrobox
  • cockpit

I'm pretty sure I can add all or most of these at the level of the BlueBuild recipe.
