Question for the audience:
Yesterday I mentioned rebuilding my #homelab on upstream #Linux distros for #container workloads. Now I'm trying to decide between two solid options: #bootc or #Fedora CoreOS.
Both have their strengths. I'm curious where you land and why.

Which would you choose?
#SysAdmin #FedoraCoreOS #OpenSource

@itguyeric as I understand it. Coreos is sort of purpose built for acting as a worker in a lube cluster.

I’m certainly leaning more in the Bootc direction.

@itguyeric a classic "it depends". I thought CoreOS had already moved in the bootc direction but maybe not there yet at least according to the docs.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/fedora-coreos/

I guess a bootc install makes more sense for homelab in this case.

That’s kinda the direction I’m leaning.

@itguyeric fedora CoreOS is bootc! So the real question is do you want to deal with butane and ignition or not? I personally build a custom image with cloud init so it works out of the box with proxmox for my workloads

Cloud init and proxmox would be great for my home lab!!
