This is a fork of https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/ that is based on Fedora CoreOS technologies, namely Ignition and rpm-ostree.

Call this "FCOSB" for short. And we'll use the abbreviation "FSB" for the current (≤ Fedora 33 Silverblue).

The goal here is to make Fedora CoreOS really more of the "core", and other editions (such as Silverblue and IoT) derive from it. From an end user perspective, this makes everything significantly more coherent.

All of FSB, IoT and CoreOS use rpm-ostree. So the biggest change is that everything would use Ignition instead of Anaconda (as it exists today). Perhaps in the future, Anaconda could gain a mode where it generates an Ignition config.

While rpm-ostree can be good for "pet" single user machines including desktops, we also want to encourage even desktop users to maintain their systems as much as possible in a "reprovisionable" fashion. While one can do this with Anaconda kickstarts today, Ignition also works in cloud environments and hence a lot of documentation that works for FCOS will also work for FCOSB.

The coreos-assembler project makes it much easier to build and test Fedora CoreOS-like systems than "raw" rpm-ostree plus the existing array of Fedora image build tools. Everything needed to build and test comes as one big container image that can run as an unprivileged container.

This config "inherits" directly from fedora-coreos-config via a git submodule. The projects also then share build tooling as well, most notably coreos-assembler and ideally more of the FCOS pipeline.

Example to build a Live ISO from this repo:

cosa fetch
cosa build
cosa buildextend-metal && cosa buildextend-metal4k
cosa buildextend-live
